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.
If it was cheaper I would have bought it and run around with it making plane noises..

...Why, Luna... dear, sweet Luna... It is a flight of... "Imagination"... ...Will this be cash or charge, madam? 😆

I say it doesn’t look plain enough to explain that outrageous price. What in the world can you even put in there? A pair of socks? Pride?
Load More Replies...A purse is a purse. None of them are worth more than $19.95 and you can bet not a one cost more than $5 to make. (adding jewels doesn't count because no one in their right mind would carry a purse with precious stones attached)
Designers at Luis Vuitton must be laughing their you-know-what off, just waiting to see how many of their idiot consumers will pay almost $40,000 for a hand bag you can't set down anywhere! RIDICULOUS STUPIDITY worse than the Dutch tulip bulb craze! Or toilet paper craze during covid! This should be made ILLEGAL! (not really, but you know what I mean). If people want to throw their money away, why not throw it away for a do-gooder charity, and ask them to make you a stuffed airplane bag with their own initials? Then you can brag about that!
That seems an awful lot of money to merely broadcast the fact you have more money than sense or good taste.
Given that a simple Birkin bag from Hermès cost 50000 to 500000euros, that's really cheap! That's a peasants bag my dear!
Ahhh first world problems/the 1% have it so bad syndrome... I now that all to well. 🤔🤔🤔😬
Load More Replies...This would be a cool novelty item at $39, $39k for a very impractical handbag is just silly.
39.000!!! that price is sky high! Its just a plane looking bag
This is even stupider than the $50,000 Luis Vuitton (LV) "Hobo" bag they came out with a few years ago that Beyonce (of course) modeled. Made with scraps and patches of leftover leather from other of their bags. Companies like this make me sick and people who buy from them make me even sicker! With the whole world falling apart, this is what they make? A stupid "stuffed airplane" bag that you could buy in a toy store for $10.00?
I once exclaimed a bad word in a department store when looking at purses. These looked like something I could get in K Mart for 20 bucks and I picked one up and it was almost $900.
The number of times I would accidentally hit people with the darn thing. I would find it really annoying
I can't believe how ppl can spend that much money on something so useless
It must be a joke. Or LV wanted to test how dumb their customers are. Very.
Their customers are on the “1000% dump” level meter!!
Load More Replies...When you have nothing better to do with $39,000, you buy this ugly LV bag. You really must love flying. Is this an overnight bag?
I am bit surprised that there is not a new post relatedd to covid now and countries like India and Brazil struggling for breath. When it was hitting US and other western countries, so many posts were here for help, empathy, etc.
These are 2 pay checks $78367 and $87367. that i received in last 2 months. I am very happy that i can make thousands in my part-time and now i am enjoying my life. Everybody can do this and earn lots of dollars from home in very short time period. Just visit this website now.--->>WWW.Money71.COM
Honestly, if it weren't for the LV logos all over it I would love it, I love military vehicles and I've never seen anything like this. I'd love to take a MUCH cheaper version with me to all the Air Shows I go to (pre-covid) I see a lot of comments saying it's ugly but I think it's adorable if it wasn't $39,000
Have I got enough poop bags with me? Check. And my other bag to put all my regular stuff in? Check. Oh look at the time! Must fly...
...You'd think at THAT price, they could do a little better than a Military Transport plane (C5-A)... These beasts used to fly over my house near Travis AFB in California... "Chic" they are NOT!
What you don't understand is that this is a real, functional airplane, with tiny seats for miniature people, a flap for your cellphone, and pop-down video screens.
That might be fun, some people lots of money fir that “service”!
Load More Replies...dont believe this one is real, LV is well known for not allowing their logo to hit a seam and it seems to happen at the nose of the plane. Could be wrong though , would not be the first time.
Well, you won't ever have to ask, "Now where'd I leave my purse! Come back to reality; we miss you! (I wonder if they'd let that thing on a plane?)
"No one ever went broke underestimating the American public." - H.L. Mencken
People by it because they CAN, not because they SHOULD. It’s their MONEY (dammit)! 🤣🤣🤣
but its made from the skin of newly slaughtered tyrannosaurus rex, am I right?
What moron in their right mind would, a) make the thing, b) buy the thing?
things like this give credit to the conspiracy that high fashion is pure money laundering
I mean, if you can sell what looks to be an ugly toddler toy to some rich person for 40k then good for you.
It uses less leather than your typical LV but keep in mind you're paying for the craftsmanship. Louis Vuitton is the have all end all of designer handbags for a reason. They flawlessly made and last forever.
The bag isn’t even that nice......(in my opinion please don’t attack me ❤️)
All that money and it doesn't even fly!!! If I'm so rich, I'm not carrying it.
If you want to diss that bimbo at least get her name right otherwise you look like just another dumb sheep who hates her only because CNN and your college "professors" told you to.
Load More Replies...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!
I can totally see the Real Housewives of the Yukon rocking a pair of these.
who would even go online shopping and think "you know what, i'll buy some really weird lensless glasses"
Everyone's missing the point. These are all million dollar pencils. You only need to sell one.
Came here to say the same thing! That’s what makes it so brilliant!
Load More Replies...I wouldn't be surprised if these companies have also listed "taste" on their sites for a few thousands
Load More Replies...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.
Load More Replies...Every time I see things like this, I only have one thought: How can I get myself into the business of selling ridiculously overpriced things?
Wow I'm so expenisve i got a gucci bag!!! Wait why is everyone laughing at me? 04328fb1d6...03d191.jpg
The hairy eyeball kind of threw me, not going to lie.
Load More Replies...I'm surprised there wasn't anything from Goop. That's always a fun one for overpriced ridiculousness.
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.
Load More Replies...Sure, they seem a tad pricey at first glance but when you factor in the free shipping on most of them......
i actually couldn't finish this- it was too stupid. i could literally feel the brain cells leaving my body, along with the little hope for humanity i still had...
Guys, I think it might be time to break out the f*****g guillotines.
I loved this - with coffee and brioche - flew to Paris to add my comments -$$$$$$$$$. But worth it
I think this sort of thing really got rolling when Republicans saw to it that the rich would no longer pay their share of taxes. It's time we returned to the tax charts of the good old days. Come on Democrats, it's past time to end.minority rule.
Oh the days when Nordstrom's was a simple shoe store in Seattle....
Some people have more money than sense... Even if I had unlimited amounts of money, I would still not buy any of this senseless cr*p, but buy durable things at the best price and invest the rest of the money in charities I find worthwhile.
It's a status thing. Like, you don't need a million dollar wristwatch to see it's time to watch the Kardashians. My $8 does the same. But I don't watch the Kardashians, I f***ing hate them.
Load More Replies...Stupid s**t for people with more money than brains. I get that it's their money and they can do what they like with it, but people who spend tens of thousands of dollars on useless crap like this while others are going hungry make my ass tired.
Reminds me of those bags. I think they're Mochismo bags, they look like a baguette/croissant. They cost over 1k dollars. Des-sacs-M...f451ed.jpg
Yeah Barbara, that's true these days...So where are you from and I must say like your gray hair
Load More Replies...Lexi, the person that originally asked the question on twitter, is married to an NHL player. So she was probably asking in order to curate her shopping list.
Combine “money cannot buy taste” & “a fool and their money will soon be parted”, and you get these things.
you would think ... but no, today it seems to be more like ''a fool and his money be par-ty-ing''
Load More Replies...i just want to to say thankyou to all of you for the great comments i laughed my ass off!!! the accessories are just ridiculous let alone the price..
Next thing you know they will be selling 5,000 dollar barbecue grills with pretty pink princesses on it for kids.
Not heard of Nordstrom before, but looks like it's a shop for people with way too much money and certainly more money than taste.
Not one of these items would I take if you gave to me for free. The fact that people pay for these over priced gadgets shows how little common sense they have.
Yeah I understand but gadgets has grade and some are worth the price, don't you think Barbara? I must say you have a beautiful smile
Load More Replies...What is truly mind blowing is not only do people think up this crap, they are paid to do so.
they only put this online because people are buying them....???/!!!/XXX!
Dose someone need to save the models..? Or can we just leave them to make cash?
