Moschino is adding a playful twist to haute couture with its latest creation—the Sedano bag, an oversized celery-inspired clutch. Would you spend nearly INR 4,98,032 on it?
Crafted from nappa leather, the bag aims for a hyper-realistic effect with 3D shading in various green hues to add depth and texture. The “leaves” and “stalks” are reinforced with a wire core, allowing them to move naturally, just like fresh celery.
The clever design even includes a hidden magnetic clasp, adding both security and a seamless look. This release is a clear nod to Moschino’s trademark humor and whimsy, offered on their website for USD 5,921 (INR 4,98,032).
The bold design, however, hasn’t won everyone over. Some fashion enthusiasts question if vegetables and luxury accessories should mix. One commenter noted on a viral video by Bagaholicboy, a Singapore-based fashion site, “Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.”
British supermarket chain Aldi even poked fun, introducing real celery for “only 75p (S$1.29)” in a parody post.
For those familiar with Moschino, this isn’t an isolated whim. Known for quirky, food-themed accessories, Moschino has previously introduced bags like the Baguette Bag (USD 1,716 or INR 1,44,337) and the Rosetta Bag (USD 1,199 or INR 1,00,851), hyper-realistic renditions of bakery staples.
Moschino isn’t alone in this trend, either. Other luxury brands like Balenciaga and Saint Laurent have dabbled in unconventional designs, including bags styled as potato chips and takeaway boxes.
With each bold release, Moschino continues to redefine the boundaries of luxury fashion, blending art and humor in a way that challenges traditional perceptions of high-end accessories. These pieces aren’t just bags; they’re conversation starters and statements on the playful possibilities of fashion. Whether embraced as wearable art or seen as a daring novelty, the Sedano bag and others like it invite a dialogue on the role of whimsy in luxury goods—a reminder that high fashion doesn’t always have to take itself seriously.
