Jimmy Choo is Popular at H&M

The Jimmy Choo for H&M shoe and handbag line was unveiled this past weekend, and items were flying off the H&M store shelves.  Dedicated shoppers lined up outside H&M stores in major cities across the globe (including London & NYC) to score their very own pair of Jimmy Choo shoes.

Business-savvy shoppers are now reselling their Jimmy Choo for H&M purchases on ebay, often receiving double what they paid for the shoes.
