While some people can’t get enough of high fashion, there are plenty of regular folks who just don’t get it, and that’s certainly the case with Louis Vuitton’s latest line.
The luxury fashion brand has become a laughing stock on social media over their recent collection, which includes a blue sweater with knitted animal puppets attached all over. The sweater, which has about 14 puppets, including a panda bear, flamingo, scorpion, mouse, and more, sells for a whopping $8,100. And those aren’t the only puppet items Louis Vuitton is selling. There’s a $6,100 “puppet baseball” jacket and a $7,450 hoodie.
As you can imagine, the Internet is having a field day over the ridiculous items.
- “How hard can attaching your old stuffies to your sweater be?” one person tweeted, while another noted, “The pandemic did this.”
- Others suggested it would be easier and cheaper to simply make one themselves.
- “I think I can get all the components at Walmart and after a few stitches I can make it for 24.99!,” another person noted. “I sell it for $50.00 and I’m making a million.”
- Meanwhile, another person suggested, “Just roll around the ground of a nursery and this is what you would come out as.”
And if you can’t imagine anyone would actually buy the puppet sweater you’d be wrong. It’s apparently out of stock on Louis Vuitton’s Hong Kong store website, and their EU site notes folks have to call to ask about it since it’s “exclusively made to order.”
