Fashion critics will tell you that you could stick a designer label on the most mundane, everyday item and some silly fashion victim will pay big bucks for it. Well, sadly, they may be right.

Following on from spring/summer 2011's sell-out acetate shopping bag, Jil Sander is now flogging a glorified brown paper lunch bag for a whopping £185.

The bag, which is made of '100 per cent coated paper' and features stitched seams, was carried by office-ready male models during the designer's autumn/winter 2012 menswear show in January, and has proved such a hit that it's been selling out all over the world.

Independent London boutique LN-CC is the only UK stockist of the bag and has already sold out of their stock quota of the medium-sized version just three weeks after it first went on sale. Similarly, it's no longer available on Jil Sander's official ecommerce site, and the brand was reportedly forced to ask for stock back from outside retailers as they were running low. But, you can still pick up the smaller version; although it will still set you back £175.

I heard about this on the radio, but had no idea that it actually looked like a paper bag.
People who buy this shit deserve everything coming to them.

Rule #1 ( Never buy a bag that cost more then the amount of food you can put in it.)

Human stupidity knows no limits... Sometimes I wonder if I'm a member of the same species as the idiots who buy something like that. What a bunch of douchebags. :larf:

Is it that expensive because it's suppose to be a throwback to the old brown bag of years past that was used for many things like to carry lunches or takeout food ,or what,and now it's back in style?

On the other hand... The stupid is not the one who asks but the one who pays. Still, abusing peoples stupidity with selling shit to peasants is wrong. Easy money makes people do that, and on the other end, there's ton of trendy idiots who are willing to do anything to stay trendy.

Buy a 150£ paper bag, if that's what it takes. :yerright:
