How much would you be willing to pay for a brown paper bag?<\/p>\n
Unless it is £185, then you are not going to be interested in the latest accessory from German fashion designer Jil Sander.<\/p>\n
She is seeking to give the item – which was first displayed back in January on the catwalk – a couture makeover.<\/p>\n
Despite the staggering price tag, sales have been very good and stores are starting to run out of the bag.<\/p>\n
However, it is not the first time Ms Sander has turned an everyday item into a must-have accessory, as her acetate shopping bag sold out in spring\/summer 2011.<\/p>\n
This highlights how people are willing to buy anything that has a designer label, regardless of how useful or practical it is and anyone who feels like treating themselves can get a leather version for around £500.<\/p>\n
It begs the question what will be next in line for the high-end fashion treatment, perhaps a black bin liner as a jacket?<\/p>\n
