Daylight Robbery: Balmain’s £532 belt
OK, so it's a nice enough belt. We have no issues with the design. But… that design? We're sure we've seen it somewhere before. Like, lots of times before. In high street chains, designer boutiques… What we're trying to say here is that it's hardly a groundbreakingly original concept, is it? And we're pretty sure the metal parts aren't platinum.
Why, then, does it cost almost $900?
Oh yeah: so that Balmain can commit Daylight Robbery. Unless you can think of another reason?

Balmain stuff does generally tend to be amazingly, amazingly expensive..! It is indeed daylight robbery.
someone’s gone mad..
this is really a joke.
you can’t reeeally tell from this picture, but it doesnt actually even look like leather, it looks like that cheap plastic imatation leather..
Looks more like a dog collar
