That’s correct, brand new Balenciaga bags were advertised for $200 or less. Insanity.
Because fashion people are crazy, everyone went nuts, and the site was taken down after 45 minutes. The #fashion community on Twitter went totally batshit, as if $200 Balenciaga bags are a standard civil right listed by the Human Rights Commission.
Did you miss out on this bargain?
Apparently customers that managed to nab a $200 Balenciaga had their orders cancelled shortly after.
. @BALENCIAGA canceling my order because you fucked up is such garbage and I hate you so much #rude cc: @NicoleRae65

So all in all, nobody won the battle, but there was many casualties, including:
– you because you missed out on a hella cheap iconic Giant bag,
– Balenciaga’s PR team,
– fashion crazies with Twitter accounts making damn fools of themselves when their orders were cancelled, and
– whichever Balenciaga employee whose job it was to list the online store items. May God have mercy on their soul and employment status.
