A towel wrapped around the hips can be a luxury product.
In the fashion world, crazy things also appear from time to time, which make even fashion journalists roll their eyes. This time, the Spanish top fashion house Balenciaga has torn.
The brand has launched a toweling skirt made of terry cloth for 695 e. You read that right: the luxury brand sells the Saturday night accessory familiar from fathers for several hundred euros.
This is how top fashion house Balenciaga’s vision of a terry skirt looks. Balenciaga
It’s a real terrycloth towel skirt, which you can now pre-order to make your own weekdays and sauna evenings happy. The only thing that separates it from a simple towel is the fastening buckle, a few buttons and the Balenciaga logo patch on the inside of the skirt.
The unisex skirt in question is available in grey, dark gray and black. It can be put on either as a skirt, over trousers or just how you use a loin cloth.
Over the years, Balenciaga has made headlines in the fashion media with its various and special products, which would be easy to implement even in a DIY style at home. The selections have included, for example, a leather garbage bag for 1,700 euros, earmuffs made of shoelaces and already dirty sneakers, i.e. special products at a price of tons.
Waist towel, wrapping towel, skirt towel – there are many names. This is also a great gift idea for a buck box with a few tens, not hundreds. If you hope to get even cheaper, you can get a towel skirt just by wrapping a towel around your hips, as Ikea proves. The Swedish furniture giant realized in his own style and appropriately tongue in cheek his own version of Balenciaga’s skirt with only a Vinarn towel.
