James Bond's sexy designer swimming trunks were flying off the shelves in London today as wives and girlfriends splashed out on making their man into a smouldering super spy.
Women were snapping up the £55 a pair tight blue Grigio Perla trunks as worn by Daniel Craig in his first appearance as 007 in new Bond blockbuster Casino Royale which opens at cinemas nationwide tomorrow.
Staff at Selfridges in central London - the only UK store stocking the must-have swimwear - said they were close to selling out.
The store, which has been stocking the shorts for a few weeks, had just two pairs left at noon today and warned further stock would not arrive until later next week.
Staff said the trunks have been flying off the shelves since the beginning of the week when publicity shots from Casino Royale showing a toned Craig emerging from the sea wearing a pair received wide publicity.
They said wives and girlfriends are splashing out on the £55 shorts, hoping their men will take a hint and get in shape to display a rippling Bond-like physique on the beaches next year.
