Luxury fashion retailer Farfetch has listed a ‘pre-loved’ Chanel shopping basket online for $101,268.
The XXL Shopping Basket bag from the Fall/Winter 2014 collection left many questioning the ‘crazy’ price of the second-hand item.
Several on social media pondered what that kind of money could buy—perhaps a new car, a boat, or even a down payment on a house—instead of a shopping basket.
Journalist Sophie Walsh shared images of the article on Twitter, later writing: “And in today’s edition of what the real shit is.”
Reporter Kate Creedon quipped, “But you’ll look so stylish in Woolies.”

Chanel created the bag to match her supermarket window display in 2014 that saw Cara Delevingne and Rihanna hit the runway.
According to the product description, the event was one of the brand’s ‘most memorable runs’.
Others on Twitter joined the conversation, with many making joking comments that they would buy several.
‘I’ll take two. One for each arm. Or would four be better? one wrote.
“Well that’s implausible lol,” added another.
TV presenter Michelle Stephenson even said, “I can’t wait until they do a Trolley version.”
Another suggested a DIY alternative.
I guess some spray paint and a few baskets of Bunnings and we’re off to an early retiree! the man wrote.

Surprisingly, the basket isn’t the most expensive item to appear on Farfetched.
The 2002 Hermès Kelly Doll mini bag costs a staggering $136,101 used, and appears to be quite small.
Some of the cheapest items on sale include a Dolce & Gabbana iPhone 12 case for $173, Jimmy Choo Dru flat espadrilles for $442, and a Polo Ralph Lauren shirt for $149.
Other brands sold include Balmain, Gucci, Prada, Off-White, Versace, and more.
