Here’s How The Internet Reacted To Prada Releasing A Paperclip For $185 (10+ Pics)
There are many things in life that $185 will get you, including an insane shopping spree at your local dollar store, but of all the things to spend your money on, we can’t think of anything better than this $185 paper clip from Prada.
Yes. That’s right. A paper clip for the bargain price of $185. It’s made from sterling silver and, unlike normal boring paper clips that only hold documents together, this one holds your money, or whatever money you have left over after buying one of them. Sounds awesome, right? Well, not according to the internet, because people on Twitter were clearly not impressed by Prada’s latest release. See for yourself below. What do you think? Snazzy fashion statement or ridiculously overpriced nonsense? Let us know in the comments!

First prada has a bag designed like the Ikea plastic bag and now it's a paperclip. So little imagination from this bling-bling company. What next, a garbage bag made in leather for the very rich?

oh! but it's not a paper clip... i's a paper clip shaped money clip! big difference!

I think if you can afford it and you want it and think it right for you, who is to say anything? Some people are label whores and buy anything which shows they have the ability to purchase what everyone else may not be able to purchase with their disposable cash. Often people waste money on stupid, excessive, ridiculous, ostentatious items, so what is the difference? If you want to hold your bills in a paperclip by Prada, I say have at it and enjoy. You can just about imagine, your neighbors, The Jones won't be copying your purchase.

So it's a larger stronger paperclip. So you can clip your paper money together, if you have any left after blowing it on paper clips.

I'm twisted. Imagine having this chi-chi money clip? Going to a bar, reaching into your pocket, making sure your money was folded just so, and making sure the bar tender/waitstaff/customers all saw that you had a Prada Paper Clip?! Holding it in the light, just so, so people could see it? Otherwise, what's the point?

Healthcare here in my country has gone sky high. For now, the government helps those who don't have the means to pay for it. Just hope this will last. Healthcare is privet and cost around 500. SFR per person. The real average salary is between 3'200. SFR to 5'000. SFR. Yet the federal government has taken all salaries and has come up with this unbelievable average of 10'500.- SFR. This not true, there is no minimum salary here. Switzerland is a haven for the very rich not for the working class.

*sighs* once again, something for the poor rich kids to lord over each other, while millions starve. What is this world coming to?

Meanwhile there are people dying from starvation while someone spends $180 on a paper clip. This world is f****d.

In a sense, this is a free advertising anyway. Even if those writers didn't intend that.

I wonder if people would go so nuts over it, if it wasn't shaped like a paper clip. Quick Google search for silver money clip brings up lots of top end silver money clips at that price and higher (but also some cheaper, Guess it depends on the quality and caret of the silver). So a clip at that price isn't uncommon. IDK usually you buy someone else a money clip (that you save for) as a special gift for a significant occasion rather than buy one for yourself on a whim. No judgement either way, just thinking a loud.

Ok.. let me see if I get this: So, people with money, want to spend $185 on a money clip that looks like something common and cheap, and they think it looks "cool, fashionable and trendy"? Something that looks like an ordinary stationary supply, will give them status? Sorry... I can't. My commoner mind cannot process this $hit.

So true! It's like spending a grand on a pencil that is basically a normal pencil, but with real chunks of silver in the lead! You might spend loads on it, but it still looks like a 99p pencil!

I'm 100% sure that someone at Prada said "Let's make this f*****g thing look like a paperclip. Some idiots will buy it because it's Prada and we can make bank without even having to come up with an original design".

From a distance would it not look like a rich guy really is using just a cheap paper clip?

I don't understand money clips anyway. I have a wallet. The wallet is too chunky to carry? I have pockets.

I could make and sell this exact same thing for 10-20% of the price. There's no significant materials involved and it literally takes about 2 minutes to make. If they were made of white gold, okay, $180 sounds like a pretty reasonable price. But at most they're probably made with about $2-3 worth of silver. Big Brand name products are typically a total scam.
