In 2014, the late Karl Lagerfeld designed a shopping basket as part of Chanel's 2014 collection
The bag, made from brass and covered with calfskin, was retailing for a whopping N5.5 million
Following a resurfaced video that talked about the resell value, several internet users have shared their thoughts about the design

Up until he died in 2019, Karl Lagerfeld was well known for creating pricey novelty handbags - including a grocery basket so expensive, you won't be able to afford anything else.

As part of Chanel's autumn/winter 2014 accessories collection, which was shown at Paris Fashion Week in March, he designed the shopping basket, which retailed for a staggering N5.5 million ($12,500).

The collection, which was shown in a Chanel-themed supermarket with shelves full of Chanel-branded food products, also included bags shaped like milk cartons with pearl-studded 'lait de Coco' branding, Daily Mail reports.
