We’ve spent more time indoors and at home than perhaps ever before, which makes it even more important that our surroundings are befitting of the time we spend there.
Luxury fashion brands, during the pandemic in particular, have recognized this. Dolce & Gabbana introduced its first home collection earlier this year, while Hermès has dabbled in similar.
Balenciaga is not one to be left behind, having just unveiled a spread of dining accessories just in time for year-end festive hosting. Some offerings include champagne flutes, wine glasses, and coasters, alongside a water bottle and an expandable shopper bag.
But of course, these wine glasses and champagne flutes aren’t just your regular drink receptacles on offer. Stamped with a Balenciaga logo reminiscent of the Stella Artois crest, these are made from crystal with silver platinum rims. Both are priced at US$335 per set, with a pair in each.

Accompanying these are the silver-hued metal coaster, sporting phrases such as “Enjoy Responsibly” and “Crafted With Care—Premium Quality” engraved into them. These are, of course, nod towards more conventional alcohol branding, as noted by Hypebeast. Sold as a quartet, the coasters are retailing for a whopping US$650.
