The Balenciaga garbage bag is one of his most controversial launches
The ‘Balenciaga Trash Pouch’ is a calfskin item that is available in 4 different color tones, and which received harsh criticism from Internet users since, as they pointed out, its design looks like a common garbage bag and current, in addition to the fact that its price is one thousand 790 dollars.
However, some users are not surprised by the creation of the controversial bag, since it is already customary for Balenciaga to put articles on the market that generate debate.
“Balenciaga being Balenciaga, what horror”, “They have run out of ideas”, “If they took out torn clothes, this does not surprise me”, “The worst thing is that there will be people who do pay”, are some points of view in various networks social.
The high-heeled crocs that were singled out as one of the least attractive
The well-known footwear brand Crocs has collaborated with Balenciaga on more than one occasion, which have been striking and at the same time strange for Internet users.
One of the models that gained more attention on social networks was the so-called ‘Crocs Madame’, which takes the original form of rubber shoes; however, it has a small heel at the back.
To get these sneakers, people had to shell out $625. And although it seemed strange to users, the model was in great demand at the time.
Comments on Twitter abounded about how unattractive this shoe was and that its shape did not flatter women’s feet.
Many celebrities boasted that they had a pair, and in early August, the singer Evaluna Montaner received attacks on social networks for appearing wearing hers in green during a concert, but some fans took it upon themselves to defend her.
Take a look at the precise moment Evaluna came out on stage in her croc heels:
The broken Balenciaga sneakers that generated a lot of memes
In May of this year, Balenciaga announced via the Internet that it was about to pre-sell new tennis models, but nobody expected them to have the design of old and worn pairs.
The ‘Paris Sneaker’ models were created with a purpose, to show what a pair of canvas shoes would look like after 100 years, according to ‘Vanity Fair’ magazine.
The images of the sneakers (which varied in price and colors) turned the social networks upside down shortly after being published, generating various comments, as well as creative memes.
The Balenciaga market bag that had a very high price
If you thought the ‘garbage bag’ was the only thing that stumped social media users, in 2016 the designer brand put up for sale the ‘Bazar medium striped leather tote’, which as its name suggests, is made of leather; however, its design resembles market bags.
The price of this haute couture accessory started at $1,500, and increased depending on the size of the bag and its colors.
The teasing before the launch was not lacking, since many Internet users pointed out that they could get an identical bag cheaper and more resistant than the one Balenciaga showed.
Balenciaga’s torn sweatshirt was criticized for appearance
For many netizens it is strange that the brand succeeded in launching clothes with a worn and broken style. A clear example of this was when, at the beginning of 2022, a perforated sweatshirt model went on sale, which had a negative impact on social networks, since users criticized its value of 1,250 dollars.
In addition, many made fun of the garment, pointing out that they had one just as worn at home.
“I have a similar one from work, it has no aged effect because it is real aged, it is not so broken, it is the only drawback it has, privately interested”, “It seems that being poor will be a trend in 2022, it is that we are more” , “I have mine, it’s missing the logo, but it’s the same, I’m already high up” or “Why in their right mind would they buy this?”
Despite all the controversy that the luxury brand has generated in recent years, it seems that this has not affected it in the least in terms of sales, since it is still one of the best positioned in the fashion industry, this thanks to the fact that he still has the attention of the famous. What do you think his next wacky invention will be?
