It's going to take you a while to let the price of the bag sink in.
Page Six quoted a Hypebeast report to say that the bag would retail at around $1,800 (Rs140,000).

According to Page Six, fans of the chips bemoaned the fact that the Flamin' Hot variety was reportedly sold out in many stores, and that the luxury bag comes sans chips.
Most recently, the company also sold the "most expensive garbage bag in the world" for $1,790 (Rs147,000).
Balenciaga is known across the world for its eccentric accessories and kooky designs. Even Kim Kardashian is a great fan of the fashion house.
