Céline is selling R9,000 plastic bags because... fashion
Updated | By East Coast Drive
Famous French fashion house, Céline, are selling grocery store plastic bags for $762 a pop. Yes, you read correctly. You can now carry your groceries in designer plastic bags for R9,000!
Every few years or so, a designer label pauses from creating trend-defying tailored suits, exquisite couture gowns, and trendsetting patterns to showcase a weird sense of humour, and create something very tongue-in-cheek. And that's precisely what Céline has done with a shopping bag with a very couture price.

The plastic bags made their official debut at Paris Fashion Week in October 2017 during Céline's Spring/Summer '18 show.
R9,000 for something that will carry your apples and milk...
