Victoria Beckham's haute couture dresses worth 1,500 pounds are made for just 60 pounds per dress.

The spring and summer collection is currently being stitched together in a shabby factory with a broken window on a bleak East London industrial estate for just 60 pounds a dress, the Daily Mail reported.

Inside the first-floor factory, around 30 mainly Bangladeshi and Bengali workers earning 8 pounds an hour, sew the garments that would grace Hollywood stars and well-heeled fashionistas.

The dresses go on sale from 1,425 pounds at Harrods, Selfridges and Net-a-Porter.com next month.

Industry sources explained that the 'double crepe' material used to make the dresses would be expected to cost around a further 50 pounds per garment.

The 37-year-old's self-titled label reported sales in excess of 15 million pounds in the first quarter of 2011, putting it on track to make 60 million pounds this year.

They are currently producing a navy and tangerine block print dress and a navy and black version in the same style.

There is no suggestion of any wrongdoing by former spice girl or the factory, which appears to be well run.

Posh has apparently never visited the factory, which she has been working with for three years, but has previously sent handwritten thank you and Christmas cards. (ANI)
