Trust Balenciaga to keep everyone on their toes with their outrageously expensive and eccentrically designed accessories. From destroyed sneakers to crocs with heels — the luxury fashion brand sure knows how to push the envelope and get everyone talking.

In keeping with this trend, Balenciaga recently launched its ‘Trash Pouch’ for sale, months after it was first showcased at creative director Demna Gvasalia’s Winter 2022 show. Inspired by a garbage bag, it retails for $1,790 or €1,400 and can be purchased from the brand’s boutiques and websites.

Made from calfskin leather with a glossy coating, the Trash Pouch comes in four colour combinations — white and red, black, blue and black, and yellow and black. “We find everything from the bag’s drawstrings to the interior constructed from calfskin. A delicate coat has been added to give the accessory an irregular shininess, replicating the glossy black bags you line your bins with, while subtle branding is printed onto the front,” according to Hypebeast.
