Luxury brands have a way of selling their products at hefty prices – give it to their name, marketing, or the actual product. While we have seen everything from the Gucci kurta to the Balenciaga trash can, another high-end brand is following in its footsteps by releasing a pair of bathroom slippers that costs around PKR 10,000. However, this isn’t even the actual price. The pair, without the sale, is costing almost PKR 20,000 and netizens have lost it.
The Viral SlippersÂ
The picture of the slippers went viral on social media and netizens indeed had a lot to tell. The first reaction in most people was very similar. Many compared the pricey slippers to the evergreen Hawaii chappals found in every Desi household. Needless to say, Twitter is having a field day.

“It’s a bathroom slipper dude!!!!” wrote one user on Twitter. Another stated, “Bathroom chappals getting their day in the sun.” A third user commented that you could find the same pair of slippers in Chor Bazaar for Rs 50.”

People were appalled by the lazy, prosaic design of the slipper and course, the price tag that seemingly did not match the creativity and thought put into designing the product.

Consequently, many opined that they would not pay more than Rs. 150 for a pair of slippers that looked like that. “Even if I become a millionaire, I won’t buy a chappal for this amount,” said one user.
