Every now and again, a fashion item comes around that divides the nation.

From Juicy Couture track suits to those plastic Topshop jeans, sometimes the weirder side of fashion can cause a major debate.

This week, the fashion world is trying to pass of some very amusing looking tote bags as haute couture, but the bags reminded Twitter of something a little closer to home.

Tweeters have been comparing the €2,900 Balenciaga bags to those plastic zip-up containers that duvets come in, and they're not wrong. 

The only difference is, instead of having Balenciaga stamped on the corner, those plastic blanket bags probably say "king-sized" or "single."

There are probably about four of them stacked in your parent's hot press, so if you want to be totally on trend, ask you mam if you can borrow her guest room throw. 

The bags are getting quite a bit of ridicule online, but we're sure the world of couture won't be paying any notice.

Oh, and while we have you; don't forget to have your say in the inaugural SHEmazing Awards this May! It's time to vote, and you can do it right here!
