Balenciaga’s controversial designs

These potato chip-inspired wallets aren’t Balenciaga’s first controversial release.

Over the past year, they have introduced a heavily tattered oversized shirt, a tape bracelet, and a towel skirt, all of which received criticism from the Internet.

 

In 2016, the brand also launched colourful, oversized shopping bags that look like those used in many countries across Asia.
