Moschino adds a playful touch to haute couture with its latest creation, the Celery bag, large celery style clutch. Would you spend almost INR 4,98,032 on this?
Crafted from nappa leather, the bag aims for a hyper-realistic effect with 3D shading in various shades of green to add depth and texture. The “leaves” and “stems” are reinforced with a wire rod, allowing them to move naturally like fresh celery.
The clever design even includes a hidden magnetic closure for added security and a seamless look. This release is a clear nod to Moschino’s trademark humor and whimsy, and is available on their website for USD 5,921 (INR 498,032).
However, the bold design won over not everyone. Some fashion enthusiasts wonder if vegetables and luxury accessories should be combined. One commenter pointed out on the viral video God-holySingaporean fashion site, “Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.”
British supermarket chain Aldi even joked by introducing real celery for “only 75 pence (S$1.29)” in a parody post.
For those familiar with Moschino, this is not an isolated whim. Moschino, known for its whimsical food-themed accessories, has already introduced bags like the Baguette Bag (US$1,716 or INR 1,44,337) and the Rosetta Bag (US$1,199 or INR 1,00,851), a hyper-realistic rendition of the staple bakery products.
Moschino is not alone in this trend either. Other luxury brands like Balenciaga and Saint Laurent tried unconventional designs, including potato chip-style bags and takeout boxes.
With each bold release, Moschino continues to redefine the boundaries of luxury fashion, combining art and humor in a way that challenges traditional notions of luxury accessories. These items are not just bags; they start a conversation and show the playful possibilities of fashion. The Sedano bag and others like it, whether seen as wearable art or seen as a daring novelty, spark a dialogue about the role of whimsy in luxury goods—a reminder that high fashion doesn’t always have to take itself seriously.
