Visiting Balenciaga’s web store is always an eye-opening experience, especially when you land on a product page selling a wrap-around towel skirt for nearly $1,000.
Yup, the often-tendentious Balenciaga fashion house has finally uploaded its extremely avant-garde Towel Skirt for pre-order for the generous price of $925.
The Towel Skirt, which was first showcased as a part of Demna Gvasalia’s in Paris earlier this year, arrives in an all-over beige colorway with Balenciaga’s logo embroidered tone-on-tone at the front.

So when it comes to the Towel Skirt — a garment that gives someone scurrying across their hallway because they forgot to take their pants to the bathroom – it’s hardly surprising.
What’s funnier, though, for me anyway, is that as soon as you arrive onto Balenciaga’s webstore, a pop-up instantly appears asking: “Do you have any questions?” Because truthfully, I have an absolute tonne of them, but we’d be here all day.
