Balenciaga Releases $1,000 USD Supermarket Bags
Inspired by disposable plastic bags.
Having already dropped a string of expensive shopping bags over the past year — including June’s calfskin offering and the all-black bag released in July — Balenciaga has unveiled three takes on the classic disposable plastic carrier bag. Named “Supermarket Shoppers,” all three bags in the capsule eschew the plastic material that inspired the brand, with a luxury lambskin construction being used instead.
The three bags all feature different prints, with one exclaiming “The Power of Dreams,” while another one features the word “Europe” and the other bears Balenciaga’s “Double B” logo above the letters “EU.” Each bag comes in a different colorway, with the first coming in yellow, white and blue, the second in “Sirop Green/Gold,” and the third in red and black.
The full “Supermarket Shopper” capsule is available to order now from the Balenciaga web store, with prices ranging from $1,150 USD for a large bag to $950 USD for a medium-sized bag. As well as releasing its plastic bag-inspired collection, Balenciaga has also dropped a graffiti luggage capsule.
