“For AW14, Chanel created its own a supermarket to showcase one of the brand's most memorable runways. Forming part of said collection is this basket bag, wrapped with the maison's signature leather and chain-link straps,” reads the description of the bag as mentioned on the site.

Called shopping basket handbag, the item was launched as a part of Chanel's autumn/winter 2014 accessories collection, reports Daily Mail. The bag is made of brass and is covered with calfskin.

Journalist Sophie Walsh also took to Twitter to share a post about it. “And in today’s edition of WTAF,” she tweeted and shared screenshots from the website highlighting the product and its price.

The post soon accumulated different comments from people. Just like this person who posted, “And it’s pre-owned.” Another one joked, “Is there a discount for buying in bulk?” A third commented, “OMG!” A fourth wrote, “Well that's farfetched lol.”
