You're missing the Balenciaga logo, yours is barely worth $100 /s

This is how Balenciaga does marketing and all of you are falling for it.

Ambush released a line of zip ties sellling for many hundreds of dollars. We are living in a coocoo clock

[–] urushitan@kakera.kintsugi.moe 19 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

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?

[–] sangriaferret@sh.itjust.works 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

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.

They sold at least one

[–] DrBob@lemmy.ca 50 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

God at that price please tell me the screw mechanism works to adjust it.

[–] theunknownmuncher@lemmy.world 38 points 20 hours ago

Doesn't look like the teeth are the correct size for the holes in the band... so... probably not...

If it does it's honestly excellent design, even if questionable as a fashion accessory.

[–] grapefruittrouble@lemmy.zip 12 points 17 hours ago

wow that’s the 2022 version. old news. check out the 2026 version for $1.2k!

[–] Z745812939054@lemmy.zip 40 points 21 hours ago (3 children)

the stupid product isn't as stupid as the fact that people will definitely buy it

[–] Fondots@lemmy.world 17 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 13 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] waz@feddit.uk 3 points 20 hours ago

A buddy of mine had one of these years ago, I really liked it and you’ve reminded me I need to get one from aliexpress. ;)

[–] Godort@lemmy.ca 5 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

The customer is always right.

If people buy the thing, then it wasn't stupid to make or sell.

[–] Blibly@lemmy.world 15 points 21 hours ago

Nah it's still stupid even if you found morons to buy it.

[–] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 7 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

So, there are no stupid products, only stupid customers?

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 14 points 20 hours ago

Both exist, and there's a strong correlation.

I love this kind of shit. Total mark. I’ll admit it.

I’m too broke for these brands and I’m not buying anything anyways so keep your hate to a minimum. Also, try to be funny. K thanks xo

[–] damnthefilibuster@lemmy.world 17 points 20 hours ago (3 children)

Y’all really gonna ignore that that is a cock ring?

[–] procrastitron@lemmy.world 10 points 19 hours ago

They literally named it the β€œtool bracelet”

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (1 children)

Ol' Ironsides

...find this and more at Cock Ring Warehouse.

Perfect for that special hoser, eh.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 5 points 16 hours ago

Just ordered mine

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 9 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

But the very next minute I proved he was wrong. For, just at that minute, a chap came along, and he thought that the Thneed I had knitted was great. He happily bought it for three ninety-eight.

I laughed at the Lorax, "You poor stupid guy! You never can tell what some people will buy."

"Luxury" fashion is just a con to get stupid rich people to fork over their money. People with style will not buy this. It's so unfashionable that it won't even be counterfeited.

[–] jtrek@startrek.website 5 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

"Luxury” fashion is just a con to get stupid rich people to fork over their money.

One time I was on the subway and my friend motioned at a lady sitting with a handbag on her lap. Friend asked how much I thought that bag sold for. It was a pretty basic looking bag, maybe real leather, a zipper. I said maybe a few hundred. They were like no, it's {some brand}, probably five figures.

Anyone who spends five figures on a bag that's not like a magical bag of holding should immediately be sent to therapy and community service.

[–] NoSpotOfGround@lemmy.world 4 points 17 hours ago

Was it a Birkin bag? They all look the same. I just found out about their existence recently.

I do hope this shows up in Harry Potter by Balenciaga 3

I actually don’t hate it. ~~I just don’t know who this is for. The kind of person who would want a hose clamp as a bracelet certainly isn’t the kind of person who’ll get a $700 bracelet.~~

Actually, I just realized while writing this, this is actually perfect for the kind of person with one of those pristine, enormous pickup trucks. It’s for people with wealth who want to larp as working class.

[–] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 2 points 16 hours ago

If you wear this out, you are a limousine punk of the highest order.

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 4 points 20 hours ago

It would be quite a flex to use these to clamp your car's radiator hose, though.
