Designer £185 Menswear Brown Paper Bag Sells Out Worldwide

Fashion-conscious men have been clamouring to Shell out a massive £185 on a designer brown paper bag it seems, after the accessory sold out.

Jill Sander's £185 designer paper bag has sold out

Jil Sander's menswear autumn/winter 2012 'Vasari' bag is made of '100 per cent coated paper' and encompasses stitched seams.

The glorified paper bag hit the catwalk in the designer's menswear show back in January.

In an indication that people will buy anything with a designer label on it, the must-have accessory has now sold out, despite costing almost £200.

London boutique LN-CC is the only stockist of the bag, and ran out of the medium-sized model in just three weeks.

Furthermore, consumers desperate to get their hands on one of the bags can no longer purchase it from Jil Sander's official ecommerce site either.

The designer was also forced to ask for stock back from external retailers.

People of the opinion that asking £185 for a brown paper bag is a bit rich could instead opt for a leather version of the accessory, but this will set them back almost £500.

This is not the first time Jil Sander has given an everyday item a designer make-over, as her 2011 acetate shopping bag sold out in spring/summer 2011.

Apparently it is the "Smell" of the paper that is the attraction ;)

There's no answer to that... sniffing a man's bag..
