Hey Ladies, Wanna Wear Some Chewbacca?

Ok, we confess, our press releases are more often than not - a little zany, 90's rave and borderline psychotic, but we always hope the readers at least enjoy themselves a tad. Yet this time, we had some serious LOLs at SS HQ when we spotted a brief fashion press release slip into our Inbox this morning representing some nifty, Karl Lagerfield-like and high street equivalent of the Fur Yeti Boot as:
"Chewbacca style boots"


Being the only member of staff to actually know who Chewbacca is I spent my break YouTubing to prove a point - it doesn't matter how lovely the growling, Han Solo co-poliot was, making a pop culture reference to a serious brand you are slogging over probably isn't the best move to get positively noticed ...

Yet maybe this is the new slang for fur-booties, of course birthed out the genius wake of jeggings and treggings. MAYBE, even MAYBE, we'll be trotting down the cobbles, pointing to some fashionista lady, strutting furry furry footwear, blasting "Darling, LOVE your Chews!"




My personal favourite...
