Balenciaga selling 'used' festival-inspired bracelet for $4K: 'So insane'

Balenciaga releases "raver bracelet" that looks like a worn festival friendship bracelet. It's priced at thousands of dollars, sparking comments from users on social media.

Balenciaga is once again making waves in the fashion world, this time with a simple accessory that comes with a hefty price tag.

The "Raver Bracelet" may look like a typical festival friendship bracelet, but according to the description, the "manufacturing process requires a full day's work for each piece."

In colors of pink, blue, and black, the new wristband costs nearly $5,000.

The luxury brand has also released the "Raver Used Bracelet" which is described as the "distressed version" requiring "the skills of an artist to imbue it with a worn and aged look" that costs a thousand dollars less at nearly $4,000.

The pricey piece is made from polyester and cotton with metallized details and sterling silver.

The bracelet is from Balenciaga's 53rd Couture Collection and is made in France.

"These embroidery styles, used individually or in combination, create a wide range of textures and effects, making each piece unique and intricate," it adds.
