In what might be the most unexpected fusion of produce and haute couture, luxury fashion house Moschino has unveiled its latest accessory that’s leaving fashion enthusiasts and critics alike scratching their heads: a celery-shaped clutch with a price tag that could feed a family for months.
Priced at an eyebrow-raising $4,470, Moschino’s new “Sedane Bag” is the latest entry in luxury fashion’s growing catalog of unconventional accessories. The clutch features a hyper-realistic design mimicking a fresh celery stalk, complete with three-dimensional effects and meticulous craftsmanship.
According to Moschino‘s official description, the bag showcases “a digital print that has a three-dimensional effect. The leaves and branches in nappa leather are meticulously handcrafted in two shades of green to add depth, harmony, and realism to the accessory. Its unique shape represents the symbol of Moschino’s irreverent spirit.”
Social media reaction
The internet’s response has been swift and largely humorous. Social media users have been quick to point out the absurdity of carrying a vegetable-shaped luxury accessory:
“Inspired by nature 😂,” wrote one user.
Another user quipped, “Imagine taking that bag to a supermarket..and leaving it near a celery counter😂.”
The trend of unconventional luxury
This isn’t the first time a luxury brand has pushed the boundaries of conventional fashion accessories. The celery clutch joins a growing list of unusual luxury items, including:
- Baguette-shaped bags
- Distressed sneakers
- Balenciaga’s recent potato chip packet-inspired bag
Industry impact
The release raises questions about the fashion industry’s continuing trend of transforming everyday items into luxury statements. While some view it as creative expression, others see it as an example of luxury brands testing the limits of consumer willingness to embrace unconventional designs at premium prices.
The Sedane Bag’s debut comes at a time when the fashion industry is increasingly blurring the lines between everyday objects and luxury accessories, prompting ongoing debates about the definition of luxury in modern fashion.
