The Ikea shopping bag madness continues-- this time with a hat
Today in stuff you don't need: a hat made from the Ikea shopping tote you filled with frozen KÖTTBULLAR last week.
When Balenciaga unveiled a $2,145 version of Ikea's blue $0.99 shopping tote in April, the internet was quick to mock. Even the Swedish furniture retailer got in on the fun with a tongue-in-cheek PSA that helps customers distinguish the original FRAKTA bag from its luxury lookalikes.
And yet, the homages keep coming. Case in point: a baseball hat constructed from the Ikea FRAKTA bag, courtesy of a crossover between online retailers Pleasures and Chinatown Market.
Per HighSnobiety, the hat will retail for $38, a more than 3,700 percent markup from the original bag.
It's an interesting idea, but for one dollar extra you could buy a TÄRENDÖ dining table instead! Or eight jars of SYLT LINGON lingonberry sauce! Or 38 boxes of DRYCK FLÄDER elderflower drink! Just something to consider.
