Luxury designer Balenciaga is selling a men’s “T-shirt Shirt” that is literally a shirt sewn on top of a shirt. It’s selling for $1,290.

This doesn’t sound like the buy one – get one we’re accustomed to.

The shirt offers two wearing options, according to the product details: “wear the short sleeves shirt with front drape effect or the long sleeves shirt with back drape effect.”

Made in Italy and isn’t a friend of the laundry machine. It’s hand-wash, or dry clean-only.

Welcome to 2018, the year of the “less than smart” decisions LOL!

Mainstream Media is still running articles about this $1,290 #Balenciaga “T-Shirt Shirt” Did Balenciaga do this on purpose or does the media have a point? 💭

Twitter responded and people aren’t having it:

Balenciaga is a social experiment to see what ridiculous things people with money will do if you put an expensive price tag on the said madness
