Luxury brands have an uncanny ability to turn the ordinary into the outrageous. Take a ₹20 household item, slap on a designer logo, and suddenly, it's a ₹2 lakh must-have. Just when you think they’ve run out of ways to test the limits of wealth and common sense, along comes a ₹4 lakh Lamborghini baby stroller—because why should luxury be wasted on people who can actually drive? Meanwhile, Balenciaga wants you to fork over ₹1.5 lakh for a handbag that looks exactly like a packet of Lays chips, minus the actual snack. If you thought high fashion couldn’t get more absurd, prepare to be proven wrong.
*prices are approximate
1. Raf Simons Duct Tape
Price: ₹17,000 per roll
Raf Simons turned a ₹100 roll of duct tape into high fashion by using it to "belt" coats on his AW17 runway. It comes in black or white, with bold red text like “RSYP YOUTH PROJECT” and “WALK WITH ME.” And for just ₹17,000, you too can experience the thrill of paying couture prices for a glorified stationery supply.
2. Prada Paperclip Money Holder
Price: ₹15,000
Prada took an office paperclip, plated it in sterling silver, called it a "money holder," and slapped on a ₹15,000 price tag. The internet laughed, but luxury collectors still bought it—proving that brand loyalty sometimes trumps financial literacy.
3. Louis Vuitton Jenga Set
Price: ₹2.5 Lakh
For those who find regular game nights a little too…pedestrian, Louis Vuitton offers the “Monogram Tower,” a rainbow-tinted, logo-engraved Jenga set housed in a monogrammed leather case. Because nothing says “fun with friends” like playing with blocks that cost as much as a down payment on a house.
4. Gucci Dirty Sneakers
Price: ₹59,000
Gucci tried selling "pre-dirtied" sneakers for ₹59,000, claiming they were a throwback to the '70s. The look? Like you ran through a muddy field and forgot to clean your shoes. The twist? You could get the same effect for free by stepping outside.
5. Louis Vuitton Face Shield
Price: ₹70,000
Pandemic, but make it fashion. Louis Vuitton's ₹70,000 face shield features gold studs and a photochromatic visor that darkens in sunlight—because if you’re going to survive a global crisis, you might as well do it in style.
6. Supreme x SOG Collapsible Shovel
Price: ₹15,000
A red, Supreme-branded collapsible shovel for ₹15,000. Whether you're digging a hole for camping or to bury your financial regrets, at least you'll be doing it in hypebeast-approved fashion.
7. Hermès Leather Horse
Price: ₹40 Lakh
Hermès decided plush toys weren’t extravagant enough and made a life-sized leather horse sculpture instead. Price? ₹40 lakh. Purpose? Unclear. Target audience? Anyone whose home decor budget could fund a small village.
8. Balenciaga Lays Handbag
Price: ₹1.5 Lakh
Balenciaga, known for its commitment to high-fashion trolling, released a ₹1.5 lakh handbag modeled after a Lays chips packet. It’s made of calfskin leather, which presumably makes it more luxurious, though it still won’t come with any actual chips.
9. Bottega Veneta Telephone Cord Necklace
Price: ₹80,000
Bottega Veneta reinvented the coiled telephone cord as a luxury silver necklace. At ₹80,000, it's perfect for anyone nostalgic for landlines but unwilling to accept that those cords were, in fact, free.
10. Balenciaga Destroyed Sneakers
Price: ₹1.6 Lakh
Balenciaga outdid itself with pre-destroyed sneakers that look like they barely survived an apocalypse. Price? ₹1.6 lakh. Availability? Sold out. Proof that irony, like fashion, is expensive.
11. Louis Vuitton Sandwich Bag
Price: ₹2 Lakh
Louis Vuitton transformed the humble brown paper lunch bag into a ₹2 lakh leather accessory. Practicality? None. Absurd flex? Absolutely.
12. Lamborghini Tractor
Price: ₹30 Lakh+
Before making supercars, Lamborghini made tractors—and still does. These high-performance farm machines ensure that even your wheat fields can have a touch of Italian luxury.
13. Volkswagen Sausages
Price: ₹500 per pack
Volkswagen manufactures more sausages than cars. Originally made for factory workers, these currywurst sausages have developed a cult following. They even have an official VW part number, making them more exclusive than some actual Volkswagens.
14. Rolls-Royce Picnic Set
Price: ₹38 Lakh
Rolls-Royce doesn't do ordinary picnics. Their handcrafted hamper, priced at ₹38 lakh, includes teak, saddle leather, and leaded crystal glassware. Because why enjoy nature if it doesn’t come with bespoke luxury?
15. Lamborghini Bluetooth Speakers
Price: ₹21 Lakh
These speakers are made from actual Lamborghini exhaust pipes and carbon fibre. Costing ₹21 lakh, they promise loudness in both sound and statement.
16. Bentley 6-in-1 Baby Stroller
Price: ₹4 Lakh
If the Lamborghini stroller wasn’t up to the mark for the ultra-elite toddlers, Bentley offers a six-in-one trike stroller with quilted seats and replica Bentley wheels. At ₹4 lakh, it's the only push ride more expensive than most first cars.
