Consumers start to dress up and splash out as handbags, high heels and makeup fly off the shelves, retailers report
The pandemic turned 2020 into the year that fashion forgot as successive lockdowns made getting out of your pyjamas an achievement. But sales of high heels, handbags and lipstick are now roaring back as pub gardens, friends’ patios and the prospect of more freedoms to come is seen as worth splashing out for.
Cosmetics are also selling well again after a very slow year with bottles of fake tan, foundation, mascara and nail polish among the beauty products flying off the shelves, according to beauty retailers.
