Balenciaga unveils 'destroyed' sweater
Balenciaga does not shy away from launching eccentric products. Last year, the luxury fashion brand launched a 'destroyed' crewneck jumper for ?1,150 (Rs 1,18,360).
The jumper is definitely not second-hand but looks way more worn out than a school kid's standard sports jersey. It is designed to look 'destroyed' on purpose.

According to Balenciaga's website, the dark blue Fairisle crewneck is made in Italy and is available in an oversized fit. It is made from 100 percent virgin wool.
If that wasn't bizarre enough, the company launched big shopping bags resembling Indian 'thailas' for Rs 1.5 lakh.
The luxury brand sold a collection named Barbes East-West Shopper Bags which were priced between a whopping $1,950 to $2,090. But the best part about these bags was they looked exactly like the grocery bags every Indian household has for sure.
