In the market for some jewelry? Here's Balenciaga's Tool Bracelet:
Yep, it's a hose clamp. Just one that's made from brass with a silver finish. The list price is $950, but it's currently marked down to $659.
The images clearly show "Made in France," but the product copy on Balenciaga's site says it made in Italy. With that kind of markup over the BOM and designer's fees, you'd think they'd take the time to double-check the copy.
- Platinum zip-ties
- Swarovski-crystal-encrusted 0-rings
- Gigantic nylon-insert lock nut bracelet
Any other ideas, please list them in the comments!
I’m a lapsed industrial designer. I was born in NYC and figured I’d die there, but a few years ago I abandoned New York to live on a farm in the countryside with my wife. We have six dogs.

Balenciaga's "Tool Bracelet"
"Tool" is right. smh
this feels very much like studiocult!
Chains are used to hold gates closed and worn by celebrities, just depends on what it's made of.
Diamond encrusted Butt End Connectors, finger trap style or single finger like a sleeve of sorts. Wearer's choice.
