<p>Would you wear shoelaces as earrings? Luxury fashion brand Balenciaga has introduced new earrings in the market which are literally shoe laces tied in a bow. The earrings have been dissed not just by the masses but even high fashion snobs and websites.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Most cannot seem to digest the price of the earrings. The fashion brand has priced the shoelace earrings at USD 250. The earrings are literally shoe laces glued to earring backs.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Highsnobsociety, a fashion watchdog of sorts on Instagram, shared an image of the new earrings and wrote, "Every so often something lands on our desk that’s just too stupid to let lie."<br />
<br />
"Regardless of whether MATCHESFASHION describes them as an example of "Demna’s ability to incorporate everyday objects into the house’s jewellery collections," they simply are shoelaces with earrings glued to them."</p>

Balenciaga gets called out for pricing shoelace earrings for $250

<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. 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.

Netizens trash talk Balenciaga’s most expensive trash bag worth $1,790

<p>High-end fashion label Balenciaga faced flak on the internet after it listed a pair of sweatpants that netizens thought rips off black culture and is “racist” in nature.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The sweatpants are worth $1,190 (£860) and are Trompe L'Oeil pants that feature a built-in pair of boxer shorts peeking out from the waistband, mimicking a style popularised by hip hop musicians.</p>

<p>In their product description, Balenciaga said that it often combined wardrobe pieces into a single garment. Examples include "jeans layered over tracksuit pants [and] button-up shirts layered over t-shirts", said chief marketing officer Ludivine Pont. She said, "These Trompe L'Oeil trousers were an extension of that vision.”</p>

<p>Meanwhile, people are not taking this lightly and called the trend ripping off from Black artists as they popularised this during the 1990s and 2000s. The Gen X would remember these sagging pants that would often show the boxers underneath as it became a part of pop culture.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Netizens stand divided on the matter with one section calling it “racist” while the other feels that it was a common trend from the 90s and is not racist at all.&nbsp;<br />
