Are you looking for a special souvenir from Paris? Well, you might want to check out Balenciaga's latest collection. And let me tell you, it's not your typical souvenir shop kind of stuff. We're talking about postcards that cost a whopping £70 and ponchos for a jaw-dropping £1,150. But don't worry, because apparently, it's the latest trend to splurge on tacky holiday gifts.
Inspired by the popular tourist slogan "I love Paris," this collection features iconic landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, and Sacré-Cœur. But instead of the usual keychains and magnets, Balenciaga offers a variety of items like flip flops for £320 and a brass and steel keyring for £325. And if you're feeling fancy, you can also get an "I love Paris" white porcelain mug for £70 or a set of seven postcards for the same price.
But hold on to your wallets because the most expensive item in this collection is a black plastic hooded poncho that costs a mind-blowing £1,150. Yes, you read that right. And it's not just any poncho. It proudly displays the Balenciaga logo and the "I love Paris" slogan on both the front and back. Talk about making a statement.
Some shoppers were left in shock by the prices, with one saying, "It looks like something you'd find at a street vendor for a couple of pounds, not hundreds." However, this collection is not just about the price tag. It's also a tribute to Balenciaga's Haute Couture show for Paris Fashion Week. And let's not forget the recent buzz surrounding the show, thanks to popstar Katy Perry's daring outfit.
Known for their out-of-the-box designs, Balenciaga has previously sold a skirt that resembled a towel wrapped around the wearer for £695. And let's not forget the odd accessories like a gaffer tape bangle. But this doesn't stop A-listers like Kim Kardashian and Jack Grealish from being fans of the brand.
