A Sydney woman received quite a shock this week when she visited high end store Hermès for some retail therapy.
Elle Salagaras, 29, took to her popular TikTok account 'EasternSuburbsMum' to recount a tale that would make most shoppers' heart stop.
The mother-of-three revealed she got a little more than bargained for after making an embarrassing in-store faux pas.
She shared a clip to her 52,000 followers showing off her newly purchased pair of Hermès Chypre sandals.
The luxury footwear from the French fashion house features beige-coloured crocodile leather and a comfortable shearling lining.

They also come with an eye-watering $13,155 price tag - something Elle discovered the hard way.
'We got new shoes... new Hermès Chypres. They're literally gorge,' Elle gushed in the clip.
Elle, who has three young children, went on to admit there was some confusion over the price tag for the high end sandals, with the content creator revealing she was forced to fork out the pulse-raising sum after making a fatal error.
Excited to show off her new purchase on the street, Elle said she immediately put the shoes on after making the decision to buy them and thinking they were about $10,000 less than the price tag.
'I definitely got very confused about the price,' she admitted.
'Which is my bad.
'I had heard, like, one number... so embarrassing. I went up to the checkout and I already had them on my feet because I was wearing them out of the store.
'She [the cashier] had packed up my other shoes and I was like "It's fine".'
Elle has already shrugged off her fashion 'faux pas' admitting that she was 100 per cent behind her high end purchase.
'So, we're committing to the shoe, we're committing to the croc,' she said.
'I should've known... Hermès. But, aren't they gorge?' Elle repeated.
Many of Elle's followers jumped in to the comments to empathise over her shopping error.
'The price. I'm dead,' one offered, to which Elle replied: 'I'm dead too.'
Another, offered: 'I just looked them up and the price omg!!!!'
Elle jumped in on that comment too, replying simply with five skull emojis.
Others were quick to offer their low-key jealousy over Elle being able to afford such high-end footwear.
'May this life find me asap,' one follower pined.
Elle recently made headlines after falling out with bestie and fellow TikTok star Cindy Killan, who goes by Regarding Cindy.
The feud supposedly began a few months back when one of the women made serious allegations about being the victim of an assault, and then objected to her friend's reaction.
While there's no way of confirming exactly what went down in this case of she-said-she-said, the fact the pair no longer follow each other on Instagram says it all.
The story from our spies was that Elle shared a personal story over dinner at a restaurant and was disappointed with the response from Cindy.
This was apparently the final straw for their friendship.
At the time, Elle told her side of the story in an episode of her podcast 'Ellefluential'. She made reference to the row, but did not mention Cindy by name.
She claimed she'd been assaulted at a restaurant and, as a result, her friends refused to dine there anymore.
