People keep asking the question of young enfant terrible designers like Denma Gvasalia with his VETEMENTS collective "are we being trolled?" Honestly, the question should be "How badly are we being trolled?" If pieces like this Teddy Bear Backpack don't demonstrate that these guys are literally laughing their collective (pun intended) asses off then nothing will.
This is actually only half the story, there is in fact a pair of Teddy Bear VETEMENTS slippers as well for £550, however, they are wearable. Wearable in the sense they are no worse than market bought cheapo ugly chunky slippers you can get, so they are justifiable as a luxury version of the same. This teddy Bear backpack on the other hand, well, it's different,
Measuring a bold 23.5" by 11" by 14", it's useable storage space as a backpack on the tiny zipped compartment will carry about what you can get in your jean pockets, or a large wallet. And made from Cotton, wool and mohair blend, the faux-fur tan Teddy is the star of course, even though it's less well constructed than a bear you could get in a petrol garage for a tenner.
And the price of this item? Which is sold out at both SSense and Net-A-Porter? A mere £855. like we said, "How badly are we being trolled?"
