Ikea’s bright-blue Frakta bag might be the Swedish furniture company’s most iconic design–and for good reason. The 99-cent tote is big enough and strong enough to haul pretty much anything your two hands can carry. But our obsession with Frakta has hit peak eye roll, thanks to a $2,145 leather bag from Balenciaga that’s a spitting image of the tote and a number of fan hacks that have gone from witty to woeful recently.
Considering how uncomfortable garments made from brittle plastic are, the only solace from this design crime is the discomfort level of whoever is dense enough to don a Frakta thong. Sweat and chafing guaranteed.
