So a typical cross body bag?

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago

No. Those can be useful. This can only hold your phone.

It'll just make idiots even more identifiable

It's pathetic that they ~~couldn't~~ refused to offer more than a handful of colors for their "piece of cloth". And "3D-knitted construction"? Fuck off.

Also, that thing looks like a pickpocket's wet dream.

Some people might find this shocking…. But a lot of knitting is already 3D. It’s not a very novel concept.

okay i hate apple but im actually upset about issey miyaki(also rip). like what the fuck happened?!

where's the interesting designs and the shit ton of zippers :/

This is a sock that has been sewn shut and a cut in the side. I love knowing people will buy somthing so useless for so much money. An actual small bag the can hold other items too is more functional and cheaper.

[–] Carnelian@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago

To be fair I looked into the pretentious fashion company behind this and they sell small bags for like >$600 so I guess this is kind of a bargain if you’re into that world
