For those of you that don’t know, pricey fashion brand Balenciaga recently released a new bag. Worth $2,145. But that’s not the funniest part. No. The funniest part is that it bears a striking resemblance to another bag, namely IKEA’s iconic Frakta tote bag. You know, the big blue durable one that costs 99 cents.
Needless to say, the internet had a good laugh about the whole thing, but now IKEA has also joined in the fun by mocking Balenciaga’s new bag in their own special way. Enlisting the help of ACNE, a Stockholm-based Swedish creative agency, the furniture giant has released a hilarious advert that helps people to differentiate between IKEA’s original Frakta and Balenciaga’s expensive impostor. See for yourself below.

The only problem is that, well, it looks a lot like IKEA’s iconic Frakta tote bag

What do you think ?
Let's have a round of applause for IKEA :) well done!!! 2200 bucks for a Schtroumpfs bag??? wtf...
I'm tired, and I read that as: Let's have a round of applesauce for IKEA.
who would actually buy this though? 2200 for a bag am i high last time i checked 4/20 passed nope nope
A Kardashian! Nuff said. 😂
All the celebrities that have to have the latest and best
Then you'll find them in the local Hollywood thrift shops... For like $1500 or less.
I got a bunch of Food City plastic bags, and you can have them all or 3500 each,a real steal, the original FC grocery bag.
What idiot at Balenciaga thought up this blue bag ? Proves snobs will buy anything with a designer label
Nancy E, I don't believe we're allowed to post things in the comment section here so.....Nordstrom is selling jeans, caked in mud, front and back, for men and women. Only 425.00 USD!!
Hey! After a record rainy season here in the US Pacific NW, you can come over to my farm, and wallow in pristine, organic mud, and coat your jeans AND shirt AND jacket, and take home a bucket of mud for re-application, if you will donate $5 of groceries to our local food bank!
OMG you weren't lying 😶. What the fuck is wrong with people?!
Hahahaha what in the world? I looked them up and they look like they should be an April Fool's Day joke but they're not. They're called "Barracuda Straight Leg Jeans" if anyone else wants to take a look on Nordstrom's website. I also looked at those window Mom jeans with the clear vinyl knee patches and that's just weird. I don't understand fashion.
what is wrong with people?
Have you seen the Nordstrom / topshop "window mom jeans"? They have absurd clear plastic panels on the fronts and they cost a pretty penny
I used to run heavy equipment and work in the mud, time to sell some jeans. Rick people I tell you, they would pay $450 for a pair of jeansjust so they can look like they actually work.
Nordstrom was selling a rock in a leather pouch for $$$ at Christmas time. People are crazy.
I bet if I came in a Nordstrom wearing those jeans, not only would I not get waited on, I'd have all kinds of leers/stares from the customers! -_-
I don't understand the criticism. They're not targeting the general market. I can't afford it but if someone wants to spend money on it then they are free to do so.
Ain't that the truth! Ridiculous AND ugly!
Hilarious :D I like their sense of humor
