Inflation affects even absurdly luxurious products. In 2017, Prada sold a single paper clip for $160; this price has now ballooned to an eye-watering $400.”


There are the rich, and then there are those who can and will buy a $400 Prada paper clip. This luxury brand’s silver money clip, measuring 6.25 centimeters in length and 2.25 centimeters in width, won’t hold your life together or be a lucky charm. However, it can serve as a reminder that you can afford one $400 paper clip instead of 30,000 regular ones. Made of 925 silver, this sleek money clip features an engraved logo.


The Italian design house released the product back in 2017 for $180. Those who acquired it nearly seven years ago were fortunate, as now this tiny paper clip is affected by inflation and costs an eye-watering $400. It’s hard to justify the use of this product. Perhaps it could be used to hold together high-profile divorce papers or life-changing million-dollar deals. Still, the Prada paper clip received a fair amount of criticism on Twitter.

It was joined by another fashionable item, the “Sandwich Bag” from Louis Vuitton, resembling the paper lunch bags from your grade school years. This leather bag, adorned with the brand’s signature ‘Maison Fondée En 1854’ lettering, is selling for $3,200.
