巴黎世家新品6000元？还是超市浴巾有性价比（讲解版）|E1127

▍原文

Balenciaga’s latest product offering has the company going toe-to-toe with IKEA.

The luxury brand recently launched a unisex, beige, terry-cotton towel skirt retailing at a whopping $925. According to their website, the towel comes in small and medium sizes, has two buttons at the waistline, and features a Balenciaga logo embroidered on the front.

IKEA, in response, hilariously highlighted its own VINARN bath towel through their UK Instagram, featuring a model striking a similar pose as the one featured on Balenciaga's store website.
