Victoria Beckham is to launch her own range of shoes and handbags following the success of her VB designer clothing collection.

The former Spice Girl is said to have made the decision because she is fed up with being a "walking advert" for other designers' clothes.

Her husband, David Beckham, has reportedly offered to build her a huge design workshop in Beckingham Palace, Herts, when they return to the UK.

A friend of Ms Beckham told The Sun: "Victoria is tired of promoting other brands. If she wears Christian Louboutin or Hermès people go and buy it.

"She thought, 'Why can't I do this with my own line?'

"Her VB collection has gone down a storm across the celebrity world. If this is repeated with her line of shoes, the range would be worth an absolute fortune.

"It is feasible that after David retires she could become the main breadwinner in the Beckham house."

Ms Beckham, 35, already has lines in dresses, eyewear and denim, with accessories to be announced soon.

A succession of celebrities including Jennifer Lopez, Madonna, Brooker Shields, Elle Macpherson, and Carol Vorderman have been photographed wearing a VB design.

A VB dress even made an appearance on Gossip Girl, the cult US TV series, and Alexandra Shulman, the Vogue editor, is even said to own one.
