JAKARTA - Balenciaga, a luxury fashion brand known for its unique and controversial design, is now in the spotlight with its newest product. Balenciaga has just launched a black funeral-style tie for 250 Euros or IDR 4.2 million.

This sadness is only available in black. Reported by VOI from the What's The Jam page on Friday, October 1, 2024, this tie is dubbed the funeral tie. This is because this tie is usually worn by mourners when paying their last respects to people who have died.

Balenciaga is made of lyocell material, a textile material that is produced sustainably in Italy. The lyocell fiber is artificial cellulose fiber without using chemical compounds.

In his description, Balenciaga explains that this product is a "dium in soft black cellulose poplin." The brand also affirms its commitment to sustainable and ethical management, with the aim of reducing environmental impacts.

Balenciaga claims to respect high standards for social and ecological responsibility at all levels and operational locations. In addition, Balenciaga also confirmed that they do not use exotic animal hair and skin in their products.

The price of Balenciaga's tie is indeed quite fantastic. However, the British supermarket, Asda, offers a similar tie at a more affordable price, which is 5 Euros or around Rp. 95 thousand. However, Asda's tie is made of 100 percent polyester that can be washed.

However, behind their seriousness and commitment to sustainability, many have questioned the price of Balenciaga's ties, especially when they find alternatives that are more economical and practical.

Balenciaga is known for its eccentric designs and often sparked debate. Previously, Balenciaga also drew controversy over the sale of skirts that looked like towels for 695 Euros or Rp. 11 million rupiah.

Balenciaga is in great demand by well-known celebrities, such as Kim Kardashian and Jack Grealish. Even so, Balenciaga also received criticism in 2022 for using bondage-themed children and teddy bears in their advertising campaign.
