Balenciaga gets called out for its shoelace earrings

Balenciaga recently introduced their latest earrings that, as per several critics, are "simply shoe laces tied into a bow". The earings are given the shape of a bow and are simply glued to earring backs. Netizens cannot digest the price of the earrings as the fashion brand has priced the accessory at $250. 

Balenciaga's latest earrings collection is not just called out by the masses but it has become a trending topic of discussion among fashion critics and other fashion-related websites. Highsnobsociety, an Instagram page that posts things related to ongoing fashion trends, shared an image of Balenciaga's new earrings and wrote, "Every so often something lands on our desk that’s just too stupid to let lie."

"Regardless of whether MATCHESFASHION describes them as an example of 'Demna’s ability to incorporate everyday objects into the house’s jewellery collections,' they simply are shoelaces with earrings glued to them," the fashion page mentioned.

But as long as people buy it….no problem." While another user stated, "THANK YOU for calling this out. Sometimes we need people within the industry to remind others of humanity."
