Back in 2017 Italian fashion house Prada was mercilessly mocked for selling a ‘paper clip’ for £145 well it seems inflation affects everthing even the weird and wonderful as the item is now being sold for a whopping £340..
When you think of Prada you think haute couture fashion not stationary but like most fashion house these days Prada has taken to grabbing headlines for novelty and the somewhat bizarre – think Pharrell Williams £2,460 Louis Vuitton leather sandwich bag.
Made of 925 silver and measuring just 6.25 centimeters in length and 2.25 centimeters in width the paperclip is just the same as any other paperclip so whilst Prada claims the item is a “sleek money clip with engraved lettering logo” I think we’d rather buy a box of 200 paper clips from WH Smiths and have change!
