Balenciaga's $1790 Trash Bag

This bag is getting lots of trash talk. 

Balenciaga are raising eyebrows – and getting trashed – over their “Trash Pouch”, a baffling design “inspired by a garbage bag” with an even more outrageous price tag. For only $1,790, you can be on your way to the dumpster in cool style. 

The luxury fashion house’s shiny drawstring bag – which is made out of calfskin leather, emblazoned with a discreet logo and comes in a choice of four colors: black, white, yellow and blue – is making its way to stores after debuting in the Fall 2022 ready-to-wear collection in Paris in March. 

“I couldn’t miss an opportunity to make the most expensive trash bag in the world, because who doesn’t love a fashion scandal?” Balenciaga’s creative director Demna Gvasalia (right) told Women’s Wear Daily at the time. 

Now being sold in stores, the “Trash Pouch” has gone viral thanks to Kim Kardashian's Instagram post that garnered lots of trash talk, with reactions ranging from wonderment and outrage to ridicule and fits of laughter.

Please tell me nobody is buying this bag, right?
