Chanel's $101,298 second-hand shopping basket causes a stir on social media

  

Luxury fashion house Chanel has caused a stir on social media with the sale of a second-hand ‘shopping basket’ for an eye-watering $101,298.

The basket, which is part of the Autumn/Winter 2014 collection, is silver plated and wrapped with strips of black leather, and features the brand’s iconic interlocking Cs logo. The product is available in three sizes and was modelled on the runway by Kendal Jenner and Stella Tennant.

The bizarre item has been met with confusion and disbelief on social media, with many users questioning why anyone would pay such an exorbitant amount for a shopping basket. The listing for the basket on Farfetch's website reads: "For AW14, Chanel created its own supermarket to showcase one of the brand's most memorable runways. Forming part of said collection is this basket bag, wrapped with the maison's signature leather and chain-link straps."

While luxury brands are known for their over-the-top designs and exorbitant price tags, this latest offering from Chanel has raised eyebrows even among the brand’s most dedicated fans. It remains to be seen whether anyone will actually shell out over $100,000 for a second-hand shopping basket, but in the meantime, the product has certainly generated a lot of attention and sparked debate about the value of luxury goods.
