$690 flip-flops flummox frugal fashionistas: 'Can't wait to see who buys these'
Briefly

The Row, a minimalist brand created by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, has faced backlash for selling $690 rubber flip-flops. Fashion fans are divided on whether these shoes are worth the hefty price tag. Critics argue that the footwear, with its simple design and accessible materials, represents a disconnect between high fashion and everyday consumers. Despite the controversy, many sizes of the shoes are already sold out, indicating a demand that continues to blur the lines of affordability and luxury in fashion.
"The Row has lost it with the $690 rubber flip-flops they're selling," lamented one TikTokker, referring to Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's Dune Classic Sandal.
"It's not made for poor people," another person noted, adding that they also cannot afford The Row's items.
"They're just not for you, babe," one viewer commented. "Not your tax bracket and that's ok."
