When I see shit from Balenciaga I’m reminded that climate change actually makes total sense.
Look at this dumb shit. The people selling and buying this live in a world totally removed from the rest of us. I’m having like, a visceral reaction to this - I would look at someone wearing this like I would a venomous spider.

Ambush released a line of zip ties sellling for many hundreds of dollars. We are living in a coocoo clock
Are people buying them?

They sold at least one
It’s been that way for so long. Pre-ripped jeans, kanye west’s destroyed clothes, cheap jumpsuits but incredibly overpriced because they have a logo on them.
Also zip ties as a fashion statement from a company called ambush?

I own a jacket that Kanye West tried on before I bought it. What do you think I could get for that?
Less than what you paid for it.
This is how Balenciaga does marketing and all of you are falling for it.

Finally! Fashion that makes sense!
You’re missing the Balenciaga logo, yours is barely worth $100 /s
$3.99 at napa
Look at Mr. Money bag right here
Just wear some nuts as rings.
that silver?
Sure is! wink
Stainless silver my good man.
Ok, I realize it looks ridiculous, but you can tell this isn’t actually a hose clamp, right? It’s super thick and has a hinge and is made of silver and just LOOKS like a hose clamp. It’s probably one of the least bullshit products Balenciaga has made in years. They’re normally charging $2000 for a nylon windbreaker made of the same shit you’d buy at Target
Its probably listed in their cockring department.
the stupid product isn’t as stupid as the fact that people will definitely buy it
I’m not really a jewelry-wearer, and certainly not an expensive jewelry wearer
That said, I think it’s kind of fun. If I were the kind of person to wear jewelry, I might consider this. I’m a pretty hands-on, DIYer type of guy, I find myself fucking around with hose clamps pretty often, and hell, I might even say I have a bit of affection for them, I’ve solved a lot of problems with them.
That price seems steep to me, but I feel that way about most jewelry. I don’t know what material it’s made out of or how big it is, maybe that’s a fair price for how much silver or whatever is in it, maybe it’s horribly inflated.
While we’re at it, then, let me point out that cynical Chinese knockoffs of the Leatherman Tread bracelet are totally things that exist and nowadays are readily available for suspiciously small amounts of money.
I’ve got one. I had to remove one link from it to keep it from falling off of me all the time, but it is indeed boss. I would not advise getting into a motorcycle wreck while wearing it, though.
That’s why it’s funny. Excellent trolling from Balenciaga as always.
