A few on the internet could not believe that a trash bag could cost so much.High-end fashion brands have a reputation for coming up with the most unique ideas for their products. Now, luxury fashion house Balenciaga has launched the most expensive trash bag. No, it’s not just the name but the bag actually resembles a garbage bag.Named “Trash Pouch”, photos of the bag have caused a stir online. The bag was featured in Balenciaga’s Fall 2022 ready-to-wear collection. Models walked the ramp clutching it in their hands.Now, that the bag has been made available in stores, it has sparked a frenzy. Not just because of its bizarre design but also due to its exorbitant pricing. It is retailing at $1,790 or Rs 1.4 lakh.The shiny Trash Pouch is being offered in blue, yellow, black, and white colour and features a Balenciaga logo printed on the front. It is made of calfskin leather and also has drawstrings. Talking of the bag, Balenciaga’s creative director Demna Gvasalia told Women’s Wear Daily, “I couldn’t miss an opportunity to make the most expensive trash bag in the world, because who doesn’t love a fashion scandal?”No matter how out-of-the-box the idea may be, the Trash Pouch concept did not go well with most people.Many have questioned the outrageous price tag that the Trash Pouch comes with.High fashion is a joke at this point.
