A new trend has recently come about and everyone’s joining in on it. You’ve might have seen some photos of it online — people have started making clothes out of IKEA bags. It all started when Balenciaga released a $2,145 bag that literally looks like an IKEA bag. Why pay over two grand for something that you can get for 99 cent? It created uproar on the Internet and as a result, started a new trend. Some of the creations are kind of ridiculous, while others actually look quite functional. Check out some of the creations below. You can just wipe any spillage off instead of having to throw it into the washing machine. This is brilliant!

This one’s great production! It looks like a very functional lightweight messenger bag.

A cute little purse to hold all your everyday items, as long as they’re small.

These remind me of the old Asian lady hats that my grandmother wears.

A creative version of what I would have assumed someone’s version of “Ikea trousers” would be.

Don’t think it’s a good idea to put this pair of underwear on your body….

Does it have RFID protection? If so, I want one.

One of the more relevant pieces as chokers have been so popular lately. Wouldn’t be surprised seeing girls rocking this one.

For some reason, this cap looks like it would protect you from the rain.

This one actually looks like a legit backpack that would be on sale at a store!

Ok this is just gross and looks incredibly unsanitary. Why would you put this on?

Perfect for Asia, where everyone wears face masks to avoid getting sick.

As long as it gets its job done, it looks like it would be a great wear on a rainy day.

Such an awkward pose. It looks like she’s about to scratch a certain area.

Did someone say Nikea? I sense a new collaboration coming soon.

She looks like she’s about to go sell some fish in the wet market.

Combined with a Chanel phone? Now that’s classy.

Nice and simple! Who said you have to use the whole Ikea bag to make something wearable?

A play off of the comme des garcons play patch. It actually looks like it could be the real thing!
