You'll have to chip into your savings if you want to get your hands on Balenciaga's new Lay’s-inspired handbags.
The luxury fashion house just debuted several purses that look just like bags of potato chips — but they're a lot more expensive than the salty snack ($1,500, to be precise).
Much like a bag of Lay's, the leather clutches have a shiny, crinkly texture and come in different colors that represent various chip flavors. In this case, the bags bear the name Balenciaga instead of an individual flavor.
It’s clear from the packaging that the brand had a hankering for several Lay’s flavors, including the following fan favorites: Salt & Vinegar, Limón, Classic and Flamin’ Hot.
According to a Balenciaga press release obtained by TODAY Food, each zippered bag (or L.O.L. Clutch, if you want to use the official product name) is made of leather “that has been treated to resemble chip bags, with a highgloss finish and crumpled effect."
Balenciaga’s creative director, Demna, recently showcased the collection on Instagram, giving his followers a look at the bag's silver interior and the nutritional information detailing on the back. The brand also debuted the bags during a recent fashion show.
