Balenciaga’s “Tool Bracelet”

In the market for some jewelry? Here’s Balenciaga’s Tool Bracelet:

Yep, it’s a hose clamp. Just one that’s made from brass with a silver finish. The list price is $950, but it’s currently marked down to $659.

The images clearly show “Made in France,” but the product copy on Balenciaga’s site says it made in Italy. With that kind of markup over the BOM and designer’s fees, you’d think they’d take the time to double-check the copy.

Ideas I’d pitch at the next product meeting:

- Platinum zip-ties

- Swarovski-crystal-encrusted 0-rings

- Gigantic nylon-insert lock nut bracelet

Any other ideas, please list them in the comments!
