Don’t want your vacation to ever end? Maybe, just maybe, if you take a piece of it back with you, you can hear faint whispers of palm tree leaves bristling against one another and breathe in light notes of suntan lotion. Balenciaga’s unconventional items have a way of making people loco like that.
The latest accessory is rather minimal by Demna standards, but that’s not to say it lacks excitement. This Jumbo Tote Bag embodies, of all things, hotel towels, and it even comes stamped with ‘Balenciaga Hotels & Resorts’ branding.
As opposed to other inspired items like Bottega Veneta’s brown ‘paper bag’ that’s really crafted from calfskin leather, the towel tote is, indeed, constructed from towel fabric. The bag is also lined with cotton canvas for durability, and has two pockets so you can take your, say, AirPods around and *soak up* some great vibes.
The tote bag, made in Italy, measures 25.9 x 13.7 x 4.7 inches, offering more than enough space for your toiletries, yoga mat, sunglasses, flip-flops, and other objects to make every day feel like a summer vacation.
If you have a habit of bringing home a bathrobe or slippers from the hotel, this tote bag might be up your alley. Or not. Those things are free, which is arguably what makes them so alluring. The Jumbo Tote Bag, on the other hand, is priced at US$1,250.
