Doors opened early for the first crowds of cash-strapped fashionistas to browse the footwear, handbags and clothes. The designer range has gone on sale in 19 stores in the UK and Ireland.
A favourite of celebrities all over the world, the shoes usually cost hundreds of pounds, with some pairs setting customers back more than £800.
The luxury British label's collection for H&M, which also includes clothing, bags and men's shoes, features designs such as zebra-print sandals and lattice-style high heels. Prices range from £69.99 for sandals to £179.99 for leather boots.
Tamara Mellon, founder and president of Jimmy Choo, said: "The Jimmy Choo collection for H&M is full of fun, one-off items with an accessible and glamorous identity made with stylish materials, emphasised with colour and embellishment.
"I wanted to create pieces that would reach a cool and young customer with a fashionable and independent sense of spirit in this one-off collaboration."
It is not the first time the high street chain has teamed up with famous names. H&M has previously collaborated with Stella McCartney, Karl Lagerfeld and Matthew Williamson among others.
Celebrities got in on the act early at the company's Regent Street store in central London last night. Singers Nicola Roberts and Little Boots attended a launch party along with X Factor winner Alexandra Burke.
