Now, Balenciaga has come up with their version (albeit a glorified one) of the ‘blanket bag’—the packaging we usually throw out after removing the actual product—for Spring 2017. And yes, they’re called ‘Blanket Square’ for real.

It seems like Pasar Malams and Mustafa might be the next high fashion inspiration.

And the internet loves it. I mean, really. Just take a look at the comments:
