A Luxury Brand Hacks its Own

No doubt feeling pretty good about its cheeky luxury hack of Ikea’s utilitarian Frakta bag, inspiring countless DIY imitations , Balenciaga has just unveiled another upmarket shopping bag.


Even more expensive than the first, the new tote is a suped-up version of the brand’s own paper shopper. The black and white logo tote is made with calf leather, leather handles, and silver-metal hardware. These will not — repeat, not — be handed out with every purchase.

€1595 ($1830) at Colette
