Every season, global brands strive to surprise their loyal fans. True, sometimes they go too far and release downright strange things, which, looking at them, you don’t understand: should you laugh or cry? And why does it cost so much? At the same time, shocking creations are bought and worn. For example, in 2022, the fashion house Balenciaga, with the light hand of the scandalous Demna Gvasalia, presented a bag resembling a garbage bag. Then only the lazy did not compare the accessory with garbage bags, the packaging of which can be bought for 100 rubles in any supermarket. And guess what? The Balenciaga Trash bag is still on sale and costs $1,950 – more than 178,000 rubles. And we have collected the most ridiculous things published in recent years.
Let’s start with the rather discreet French fashion house Louis Vuitton. Seven years ago, the saying went “even an old lady gets screwed” because the brand presented a strange checked bag, reminiscent of a market stall, in which shuttles transported all kinds of consumer goods in the heady 90s. It is surprising that the bag was designed by Marc Jacobs, who created many really beautiful accessories. And here it is… And at the price of $1960. And don’t forget that it was 2007. However, some Hollywood celebrities, including Julia Roberts, wore a checked string bag. But then such a bag can be used when moving…

In the following years, Louis Vuitton also tried to get creative, but under the leadership of the talented and, unfortunately, now deceased Virgil Abloh. So, in 2022, the fashion house gave the world a bag in the shape of a paint bucket ($2,850), and in 2023 – an accessory in the form of cookies with wishes ($2,310). By the way, the last bag from a certain angle did not look like a cookie at all, but rather like a butt…
Another well-known artist is Loewe’s creative director Jonathan Anderson, whose dove bag became famous because it was carried by Sarah Jessica Parker’s character in the TV series Sex and the City. After which Jonathan began to regularly replenish his “zoo”: after the dove, a canary, a toad and even a hedgehog appeared.

But perhaps the most outrageous brand is the Japanese brand Doublet. So, in 2023, together with Suicoke and Vibram, it launched strange sneakers, sewn as if they belonged to a neighbor’s cat. The price per pair was $430.

Another Doublet masterpiece that fashion lovers around the world will never forget is a bag in the shape of a rusty bucket. The retail price is $770. But it is better to look for an old bucket in the country house or in the dumpster.
The list of “finds” also includes a masculine accessory shaped like a donkey, apparently with a hint. How about a gift idea for your (not) beloved husband or boyfriend?
Of course, our review wouldn’t be complete without the Balenciaga brand we started with. In addition to the trash bag, on the fashion house’s official website you can find a bag that looks like a bag of chips. The appetizing accessory comes in different colors and costs $1,850.

In addition, Internet users still can’t forget the towel-shaped skirt: in 2023 it was sold at a price
$925 each. Many people laughed at the fact that one could simply wrap oneself in a bath towel after a shower…
And we will end our fashion streak with Teletubbies boots from the Christian Cowan x Teletubbies collaboration – perhaps these are the strangest shoes in the world. In 2023, acid-green boots were sold for $2,500 – you had to pay almost 223 thousand rubles to get the title of crazy city, because not everyone will understand such humor and creativity…
