People Show The Ridiculous Items They Found While Shopping High-End, And Each Of Them Is Funnier Than The Other (30 Pics)
Online shopping is full of regrets. But it can be really entertaining too.
A few days ago, Lexi Brown from Minnesota made a tweet, saying "A hobby of mine is finding ridiculous items for sale at Nordstrom's." Brown also attached a picture of her best find yet—a Pavé Chair Bag.
If you also can't understand the purpose of this sparkling little chair, don't worry. Its sellers are as clueless as we all are. "Always have a front-row seat thanks to this sparkly pavé folding chair made in collaboration with lifestyle brand Myreality," they wrote in the product description. "Shown on the runway at New York Fashion Week, this bedazzled object d’art doesn't actually carry anything, except for a conversation." And people loved it.
The tweet instantly blew up, receiving nearly 170K likes and inspiring others to share their hilarious discoveries as well. Continue scrolling and check them out!

You have got to be joking. $39,000 bloody dollars is just insane.

Why would you carry it AT ALL. Is there a point to this that I am missing?

Can you have a recording of the person talking too. Kinda make it like futurama style.
Nordstrom is an American luxury department store chain. Founded back in 1901 by John W. Nordstrom and Carl F. Wallin, it originated as a shoe store and evolved into a full-line retailer with departments for clothing, footwear, handbags, jewelry, accessories, cosmetics, and fragrances.
Some stores feature home furnishings and wedding departments, and several also have in-house cafes, restaurants, and espresso bars.

And the sad thing is there are people dumb enough to buy this useless crap.
Nowadays, no wonder Nordstrom has so many "WTF" items—as of 2021, it operates 100 stores in 32 U.S. states, and 3 Canadian provinces since entering the market in 2014. One location in Puerto Rico was in operation from 2015 through 2020.
The corporate headquarters and flagship store are located in the former Frederick & Nelson building in Seattle, Washington; a second flagship store is located near Columbus Circle in New York City. Its subsidiaries include the off-price department store chain Nordstrom Rack and the members-only online store HauteLook.
Nordstrom has long been an early adopter of e-commerce, especially among its department store peers. That ethos will serve the upscale retailer well as it weathers the biggest storm in its history, which sent an even bigger chunk of its business online.
The company said at its virtual investor day that sales in Q4 2020, including the key holiday season, fell by a low 20s percentage, capping a devastating year in which the pandemic temporarily shut all of its stores and its clientele eschewed the fashion wares for which Nordstrom is known.
But another big result of the COVID-19 upheaval is that the percentage of sales Nordstrom gets online has risen to about 50% and the company expects that to stick. Which may be the reason why people have been finding so many ridiculous items lately!

Is this supposed to look like a Shivling? I am making the assumption because this product is called "Shiva". Very disrespectful and ignorant towards the Hindu religion to make something shaped like a penis and call it Shiva which is also the name of a Hindu God. Not a religious person myself, but this is not cheeky or clever.

This looks like a child made it. For that price it would be better if it looked like the real thing. No sale.

MEMPHIS GROUP!!!!! You guys don’t understand how awesome they are. Everything about 80s design that we remember is in part because of Memphis. Look up “Memphis style 1980s” and tell me it isn’t cool AF.
W.G. SamKito - bored 3 years ago
Finally someone who knows! Thanks! - and yes, humor was an important part of their design. So yes, feel free to laugh!

Phallic art has been around for literally thousands of years, this is just a very poor quality interpretation of the aesthetic.
Ara Noguera 3 years ago
The creator of the original design was Ettore Sottsass, an Italian architect and designer. Though he was founder of the Memphis Group, this vase was created more than 10 years before the Italian design group.

I kinda do the same with AliExpress after I started getting their ads recently. It started because the ad was for a waterpark slide for $390,000. Like a 5-story, metal and fiberglass, several hundred foot long slide from a theme park. Shipping to the US was a mere $58k.

Some of the stuff on those sites is intended to be sold to other businesses - I've also seen industrial tools on there. Though you could also get an inflatable water slide for $1000-2000 if you want one for your backyard.

If I need a daily dose of "surreality", I go onto Goop's website and pretend I am a filthy-rich multimillionaire trophy wife and try to find the most ridiculous item. My personal favourite is the psychic vampire repellent that you spray around your "aura" to protect from harm.
