Reaction trails Balenciaga’s N800k bag of chips

Balenciaga has once again left fashion fans buzzing with mixed reactions over one of their products.

It is no news that the fashion house is big on social experiments, and this time is no different following the release of a line of leather bags designed to look like packets of potato chips.

According to the fashion Instagram account Diet Prada, they could cost about N800,000 ($1,800) each.

Check out the photos below:

The bags were made in partnership with Lays, a popular American potato chips company.

On their Instagram page, photos of models walking the runway, clutching different ‘flavours’ of the chip bags have been shared.
