This Balenciaga Bracelet Looks Exactly Like A Roll Of Tape, Internet In Disbelief

High-end fashion brands have a reputation for coming up with the most unique ideas for their products. This time, luxury fashion brand Balenciaga which is often in the news for its quirky products, launched a bracelet that looks exactly like a tape. The product looks like a regular roll of clear tape, however, it is branded with the Balenciaga logo and adhesive.

The clear packing tape-inspired bracelet was launched during Paris Fashion Week's Fall/Winter 2024 collection earlier this month. The buzz first grew after media brand Highsnobiety uploaded a TikTok clip and Instagram Reel featuring the item in question. 

The product has left internet users shocked, who are mercilessly mocking it on social media websites.  One user wrote on X, ''The luxury fashion house Balenciaga has once again sparked debate with its latest accessory, a bracelet designed to resemble a roll of clear tape, complete with the brand's logo and a hefty price tag of approximately $4,000! This is just insane.''

hand up. I love on brand stuff. Balenciaga selling tape rolls and calling them either bracelets or bangles for $3k+ fits perfectly. the fashion industry remains unmatched.

There is no marketing strategy that beats brand image!

The way you position your brand really speaks a lot about what you sell.

This newly released bracelet from Balenciaga would be considered a trash or just the regular tape if it were a regular business!#Balenciaga pic.twitter.com/6Z9ihVYlBo
