Balenciaga is now selling $1000 supermarket bags

Well that’s Christmas sorted.

[T]oday, in farcical fashion, Balenciaga are offering $1000 supermarket bags. Apparently inspired by fast and disposable fashion, Balenciaga’s “Supermarket Shoppers” resemble the classic “Bag For Life” offered by your favourite chain of superstore.

The three bags each feature a different printed motif. One is emblazoned with the slogan “The Power of Dreams”, another reads “Europe” and a third bears the Balenciaga “Double B” logo. The capsule collection is currently retailing on the Balenciaga website with prices starting at $950 for a medium size bag and rising to $1150 for a larger bag. Bargain.
