<p>Balenciaga is sure having fun this year. Fresh off the, er, success of its US$2,145 (S$2,983)&nbsp;fake IKEA tote bag, the fashion house has decided to peddle a fancy version of its own shopping bag.</p>

<p>Except instead of paper, this bag made of calfskin and metal. And instead of "free with purchase so you can put your items in it," it's US$1,100.</p>

<p>Seems incredibly reasonable!</p>

<p>Here are a few reasons why someone might want to purchase a calfskin version of a paper bag.</p>

<div class="embed">[[nid:382932]]</div>

<p>The first reason: You are very rich and want to post what you have done online.</p>

<p>The second: You have misread the price and believe this bag to be US$11.</p>

<p>I can't think of anything else. Luckily, I don't have to, because this bag is already sold out. I assume the man below purchased all of them.</p>

<p>Fashion: It's good!</p>
