Prada Has Made A Paper Clip That Retails For Dhs655
No, we’re not kidding
Just days after news broke that Balenciaga’s shopping bag, which retails for a hefty Dhs4,000, sold out, it has been revealed that Prada is selling a money clip, in the shape of a paper clip, for Dhs655 in Barney’s New York.
Money clips have been a part of the brand’s offering since 2012, however the paper clip design is a new addition.
Unsurprisingly, Twitter users swiftly made fun of the item, which is engraved with the brand’s name down the side:

The item is still currently in stock on the Barneys website, but considering the astonishing speed with which non-traditional (and sometimes downright baffling) fashion items are selling this season, you’ll need to move fast if you want to own one. There’s certainly an argument for it being a conversation starter…
