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.

A few months ago, their striped ‘Bazar Shopper’ was also trending on social media for its remarkable similarity to a Thai carrier bag.

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:

Love It or Hate It

If high fashion is all about making a statement, then these guys sure nailed it.
