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!

those vibram five fingers, I know them, my former boss wore them for jogging (apparently really comfy). Didn't know they existed with a heel though.
Anna Banana 3 years ago
I thought the heel part was some kind of display technique! Those shoes were controversial quite a few years ago so I didn't know what the big deal was (aside from price tag) until I read your comment.

Normal vibram toe shoes are nowhere near that expensive, I guess it’s because it appears to be a collaboration with Balenciaga.

The only way these would be worth $1,290.00 is if they launched you into the air at each step like you're walking on the moon.

I have boots with Vibram soles that are over 20 years old.....and I mean BOOTS, Gortex the whole waterproof shebang and still with heavy use are still in great shape.....they cost me $60. on sale.

I've seen Vibram toe socks before, my partner had a pair, but they were nothing like this price. Why are they so expensive, are they made from seal fetuses?

Whatever they are, I'm sure they're worth the money, and there's the $40 bonus for going into debt over it. What's to lose?

Long time ago I was hiking in bridge to nowhere and a man was walking with one of those, I confess was really cool, he step on the water and keep going, then I check on the internet and I was shocked how expensive was. But I want
Loki’s Lil Butter Knife 3 years ago
You can save over $1,000.00 USD and just get a pair of really nice hiking boots and waterproof them instead.

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.

I'm surprised there wasn't anything from Goop. That's always a fun one for overpriced ridiculousness.
Loki’s Lil Butter Knife 3 years ago
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.
