The article discusses the unreasonably high price of the Dune Classic flip-flops from The Row, a designer label by the Olsen twins. Initially derived from Japanese zori sandals and modernized post-WWII, flip-flops are now priced at $670, igniting discussions about luxury branding in fashion. While some find it outrageous, the footwear isn't viewed as revolutionary but rather as an exaggerated example of high fashion's disconnect from ordinary consumer values. Notably, these flip-flops also mark the entry-level pricing for The Row, with leather variants costing even more.
These are flip-flops in the purest form, and yet they come encased in this luxurious price tag that only the fashion elite can truly appreciate.
Fashion's elite really do throw around astronomical sums for items that, let's face it, are just elevating an everyday necessity to an outrageous level.
