This is how Balenciaga does marketing and all of you are falling for it.

If you wear this out, you are a limousine punk of the highest order.

I love this kind of shit. Total mark. I’ll admit it.
I’m too broke for these brands and I’m not buying anything anyways so keep your hate to a minimum. Also, try to be funny. K thanks xo

God at that price please tell me the screw mechanism works to adjust it.

Doesn’t look like the teeth are the correct size for the holes in the band… so… probably not…

If it does it’s honestly excellent design, even if questionable as a fashion accessory.

the stupid product isn’t as stupid as the fact that people will definitely buy it

I’m not really a jewelry-wearer, and certainly not an expensive jewelry wearer
That said, I think it’s kind of fun. If I were the kind of person to wear jewelry, I might consider this. I’m a pretty hands-on, DIYer type of guy, I find myself fucking around with hose clamps pretty often, and hell, I might even say I have a bit of affection for them, I’ve solved a lot of problems with them.
That price seems steep to me, but I feel that way about most jewelry. I don’t know what material it’s made out of or how big it is, maybe that’s a fair price for how much silver or whatever is in it, maybe it’s horribly inflated.

While we’re at it, then, let me point out that cynical Chinese knockoffs of the Leatherman Tread bracelet are totally things that exist and nowadays are readily available for suspiciously small amounts of money.
I’ve got one. I had to remove one link from it to keep it from falling off of me all the time, but it is indeed boss. I would not advise getting into a motorcycle wreck while wearing it, though.

The customer is always right.
If people buy the thing, then it wasn’t stupid to make or sell.
Blibly@lemmy.world 4 hours ago
Nah it’s still stupid even if you found morons to buy it.
KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 4 hours ago
So, there are no stupid products, only stupid customers?
wiccan2@thelemmy.club 4 hours ago
People can be far stupider still.
How long before people are wearing real hose champs.
How long before a “cheap” knock off is produced.

"Luxury" fashion is just a con to get stupid rich people to fork over their money. People with style will not buy this.
It's so unfashionable that it won't even be counterfeited.dismay3915@lemmy.world 2 hours ago
Guys… This is actually cool tho

I cheer when a noname brands and small companies do this. Take money from the rich, give them an overpriced trinket, then inevitably spread it with the community (you’re not selling garbbage to the rich to buy garbage for the rich, arent you?). So yeah, buy those cool rusted zipties and five-figure speaker stands and shoes or whatever, they’re so cool man I envy you so much.

It would be quite a flex to use these to clamp your car’s radiator hose, though.
FRYD@sh.itjust.works 3 hours ago
I actually don’t hate it.
I just don’t know who this is for. The kind of person who would want a hose clamp as a bracelet certainly isn’t the kind of person who get a $700 bracelet.Actually, I just realized while writing this, this is actually perfect for the kind of person with one of those pristine, enormous pickup trucks. It’s for people with wealth who want to larp as working class.
