Balenciaga's garbage bag inspired pouch worth Rs 1.4 lakhs sparks meme fest on Twitter

Balenciaga's expensive merchandise has once again confounded internet users. This time, the French fashion brand unveiled a purse with a style influenced by trash bags. The product's absurd price has the internet users gaping in disbelief. Internet users began trolling Balenciaga as soon as the "bin bag" photographs appeared on social media and circulated amusing memes to show their disgust.

Given that it is made of a different kind of material, the trash pouch introduced by Balenciaga differs from a rubbish bin bag. Balenciaga has employed soft calfskin leather rather than plastic. However, it has the appearance and impression of a trash bag.

Talking to Women’s Wear Daily, Demna Gvasalia, Balenciaga’s creative director, said, “I could not miss an opportunity to make the most expensive trash bag in the world, because who doesn’t love a fashion scandal?”

The Balenciaga trash bag, which the company refers to as a "trash pouch," is constructed of glossy-coated calfskin leather. It contains drawstrings that may be pulled to shut the pouches before the ties are fastened and comes in four various colours, including black, white, blue, and yellow.

On Twitter, the bag's price sparked amusing memes and remarks. Most Twitter users were shocked and furious.

Balenciaga just be making anything lmao

Nothing says "I'm a poor person trying to look rich" like Balenciaga, Gucci or LV.

Balenciagas trash bags.. genius.. they’re interpreting the state of fashion… trash.. same with Yeezy gap.. the roll out was out of dumpsters… and let’s face it.. culture is at an all time low. U can’t capitalize the underground. Anti-culture is mainstream.

Balenciaga is renowned for its contentious designer goods. They released the "Rubbish Bin" sneakers in May 2022 for much than Rs 2 lakhs ($2, 590).
