You Can Now Buy Balenciaga ‘Laundry Bags’ for Over $2,000

While Vogue and WWD praised the collection, the Thai fashion community immediately took to social media with jokes about how much the bags resembled traditional plastic shopping and laundry bags in Thailand.

As Balenciaga’s name for the collection suggests, these large totes can be found in actual bazars and markets in Thailand for roughly $2.

This isn’t the first time Gvasalia put a really expensive twist on a cheap item. For his own label, cult fashion favorite Vetements, he produced $330 DHL T-shirts, $1,460 reconstructed Levi’s, $735 Champion-inspired hoodies, and a $924 copy of Snoop Dogg’s tour merch T-shirt that even confused Snoop himself.

You can get your hands on Balenciaga’s “Bazar” shopper bags online and in Balenciaga stores today, but if you’re not looking to blow two stacks on a purse, you can find cheaper alternatives from Peru at Sincerely, Tommy for $50. Or you can take a trip to Thailand and get the real deal yourself. We hear the price has gone up to $3 in some places since their Balenciaga debut.
