<p>Plush fashion brand Balenciaga has done it again! Time and again, the luxury label has come under netizens' radar for its bizarre fashion items and their whooping price. The new item from the fashion house that has garnered a lot of spotlight&nbsp;all over the internet is a bracelet, that looks like scotch tape, yes you are reading it right!&nbsp;</p>

<p>The unusual fashion item has again triggered a debate about how far these big brands can go when it comes to fashion, and where to draw a line when it comes to high-end fashion.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The bracelet has an uncanny resemblance to a common&nbsp;tape role that was launched at the Paris Fashion Week’s Fall/Winter 2024 collection. The bracelet looks exactly like a tape roll comes with a Balenciaga logo and has the word 'adhesive' written on it. Not only this, but this Spanish luxury fashion brand is selling it at price that is sure to leave you aghast.</p>

<p>In India, a tape retails for Rs 50 - Rs 100. But, don't you dare to compare it with Balenciaga's&nbsp;creative art piece, which looks no different from it.&nbsp;This fashion item has not yet been listed on Balenciaga's site, but as per several reports, the fashion piece that has&nbsp;triggered a lot of debate is priced at a whopping $4,400 (Rs 3,66,834 approximately).</p>

<p>As expected, the bracelet has sent netizens in a state of shock, with many questioning Balenciaga's creative side, while others are pointing out the insane price that the bracelet will reportedly be sold in the future.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Sharing a picture of the bracelet, one X user wrote, ''There is no marketing strategy that beats brand image! The way you position your brand speaks a lot about what you sell. This newly released bracelet from Balenciaga would be considered trash or just the regular tape if it were a regular business!''</p>

Who’s buying it ? This new 'tape-inspired' bracelet worth Rs 300,000 sparks debate

<p>One can never truly understand fashion and the price tag which comes it with. And luxury fashion company Balenciaga is no stranger to charging exorbitant prices on accessories, whose cheaper alternatives are already available in the market.</p>

<p>The luxury fashion brand has come out with its latest offering that is already prompting ridicule on social media—"Trash Pouch".</p>

<p>The so-called “Trash Pouch" is nothing but a normal pouch that is inspired by a garbage bag. And as the same suggests, its aim is to store/collect trash. But that’s not why people are “trash talking” about the product.</p>

<p>The pouch comes with a hefty price tag of $1,790 (Rs 1.4 lakh).</p>

<p>The shiny drawstring bag is made out of calfskin leather and comes out in four colour combinations — white and red, black, blue and black, and yellow and black, according to New York Post.</p>

<p>The trash bag sports a discreet logo and comes in the standard hefty bag black, solid Glad-esque white, as well as yellow and blue.</p>

<p>First introduced in their Winter ’22 collection, the trash bag will be out in the stores after Fall 2022.</p>

<p>“I couldn’t miss an opportunity to make the most expensive trash bag in the world, because who doesn’t love a fashion scandal?” Balenciaga’s creative director Demna Gvasalia&nbsp;told Women’s Wear Daily&nbsp;at the time.</p>

<p>The pictures of the bag were shared on various social media platforms, with some luxury lovers expressing their desire to own the item, while others are shocked.</p>

One can never truly understand fashion and the price tag which comes it with. And luxury fashion company Balenciaga is no stranger to charging exorbitant prices on accessories, whose cheaper alternatives are already available in the market.

One can never truly understand fashion and the price tag which comes it with. And luxury fashion company Balenciaga is no stranger to charging exorbitant prices on accessories, whose cheaper alternatives are already available in the market. The luxury fashion brand has come out with its latest offering that is already prompting ridicule on social media—"Trash Pouch". The so-called “Trash Pouch" is nothing but a normal pouch that is inspired by a garbage bag. And as the same suggests, its aim is to store/collect trash. But that’s not why people are “trash talking” about the product. The pouch comes with a hefty price tag of $1,790 (Rs 1.4 lakh). The shiny drawstring bag is made out of calfskin leather and comes out in four colour combinations — white and red, black, blue and black, and yellow and black, according to New York Post. The trash bag sports a discreet logo and comes in the standard hefty bag black, solid Glad-esque white, as well as yellow and blue. First introduced in their Winter ’22 collection, the trash bag will be out in the stores after Fall 2022. “I couldn’t miss an opportunity to make the most expensive trash bag in the world, because who doesn’t love a fashion scandal?” Balenciaga’s creative director Demna Gvasalia told Women’s Wear Daily at the time. The pictures of the bag were shared on various social media platforms, with some luxury lovers expressing their desire to own the item, while others are shocked.
