With A Price Tag Of Close To Rs 20k, Balenciaga's Shoelace Earrings May Find No Takers
Balenciaga recently introduced their latest earrings that, as per several critics, are "simply shoe laces tied into a bow".

Balenciaga launches shoelace earrings and people are not impressed
The earrings have drawn criticism online. But the one thing that is getting the most backlash is that the fashion brand has priced the shoelace earrings at USD 250 or Rs 20,000, roughly. The earrings are literally shoe laces glued to earring backs.

Highsnobsociety, an Instagram page that posts things related to ongoing fashion trends, shared an image of Balenciaga's new earrings and wrote, "Every so often something lands on our desk that¡¯s just too stupid to let lie."
"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," the fashion page mentioned.

People on the internet called out the brand for the weird earrings. ¡°Balenciaga is a social experiment,¡± a user wrote. "Isn¡¯t that their ethos or mission statement??? What will people buy cuz somebody said it was cool??" another commented. "I¡¯d be charging more if I was them lmao," someone added.

This is not the first time the brand has raised eyebrows. Not too long ago, Balenciaga launched a ¡°trash pouch," which features a baffling design ¡°inspired by a garbage bag.¡± Even more outrageous than the product itself, is its price tag: a hefty $1,790 (Rs 1.4 lakh).
