The luxury goods market is definitely interesting.
I mean, I’m as guilty as the next person of spending my hard-earned money on ridiculous things.
But there are definitely some items for sale that make you go “what?”
Last month, mother and hockey fan Lexi Brown, PhD, went viral for her Tweet about random and ridiculous luxury items, spawning a thread of similarly themed responses.
Lexi found a… well, they call it a “bag” (but it doesn’t actually hold anything) shaped like a diamond-encrusted folding chair, and the reviews were hilarious.
A hobby of mine is finding ridiculous items for sale at Nordstrom’s. This might be my best find yet. pic.twitter.com/racNtYs0jB

Users were similarly dumbfounded by the weird little purse:
WHY WOULD YOU CARRY IT WITHOUT THE STRAPS?! pic.twitter.com/buorU6g4nU

Lexi’s post went viral, and soon her followers were chiming in with ridiculous finds of their own.
User Raahina Somani shared a similarly bizarre purse that I’m still trying to wrap my head around, but check out that price tag!
This is, by far, the most ridiculous item I’ve ever seen. Given the price tag, at least there’s interchangeable fruits pic.twitter.com/d2JaaWLhAp

But it gets better. Zaza Chilvers found a Louis Vuitton bag and I honestly LOVE it, but it costs more than my car.
This LV bag costs $39,000. pic.twitter.com/nPZEnSogT5

And for people who really love their veggies, there’s this hideous broccoli bag.
Girl yes. pic.twitter.com/5bMuLPU3v8

But I think I’ll take the broccoli purse over the shrimp cocktail one.

Danielle P. chimed in with another absurd bag she found at a different online shop:
not from nordies, but today i found a bra shaped purse. pic.twitter.com/JoDrSLVFv5

Moving on from bags, there was the $280 (each) hair-roller for wealthy grandmas the world over.
But Lexi, have you seen….the Golden Roller? pic.twitter.com/gD4Cg4lV9K

And Greg never does explain why he owns this, but it comes with its own little pocket.

And then @Kristin_wrote was perplexed by this unusually shaped ping-pong table, but I guess it would add another level of complexity to the game.
YES. I have been doing this at Anthropologie for years. My favorite find so far is the ping pong table shaped like Easter Island. $4000. pic.twitter.com/aPvaGDPsxh

Getting into the spirit of mocking Nordstrom, one user shared diamond-lined ski goggles.
I don’t think this tops the chair, but this showed up in my FB ads one day. I don’t ski, but from what I understand about snow reflection, this is a really terrible idea. pic.twitter.com/KoYgrTnC1z

Several users found something to balk at from Tiffany, where nothing comes with a small price tag.
Did anybody post the oversized paperclip or soup can from Tiffany’s yet? pic.twitter.com/P06qRP8PW3

And don’t forget the lovely but possibly useless sterling silver greenhouse.
Tiffany & Co slaps their name on anything and says “that will be $275,000” pic.twitter.com/YrKLzMGvLh

One that really set the bar was shared by @thaisaustin.
Who, in their hour of grief, wants to commemorate their lost love with a 3D version of their head for the mantle?

No price tag here, but I’m guessing these don’t come cheap.
The winner of Twitter that day, though, was definitely @MsModernity who added Bernie Sanders to the OP.

I’ve seen all I need to see.
I honestly can’t even with most of these. What’s the most ridiculous (and ridiculously expensive) thing you have ever seen? Tell us in the comments.
