You can always count on Balenciaga for an opportunity to stunt on plebs. The fashion houseโs predilection for โelevatedโ versions of everyday items has yielded $850 pool slides oozing with summer steeze, $2,845 lunchboxes weโve fantasied about rocking up to the worksite with (sacred Fourโn Twenty rat coffin + Oak choccy milk combo included), and now, something that stands head-and-shoulders above them both in terms of daily flexes: your very own Balenciaga Expandable Grocery Bag to show people what youโre all about during that next Woolies run.
Made from 100% nylon, bragging rights and style aside, good person points are also up for grabs. As part of the brandโs ongoing commitment to sustainability, this particular shopping bag is 100% recycled. And really, the more you think about the function/purpose of a reusable shopping bag, the more youโll come to question why using recycled materials isnโt standard practice.

โThe bagโs collapsible design and all-purpose clasp make it conveniently transportable, making it easy to always have on hand to use instead of disposable carriers,โ notes the official press release.
โIt becomes wallet-sized when folded and zipped into a round pouch and can hook onto almost any strap or loop. The intent of the Balenciaga Grocery Shopper is to help reduce single-use plastic.โ
The Balenciaga Expandable Grocery Bag is now available to purchase for US$325 (AU$415) in three distinct colourways โ red, black, and plaid. Given the price and label, youโll probably never forget to bring a reusable shopping bag again.
