God at that price please tell me the screw mechanism works to adjust it.
Doesn't look like the teeth are the correct size for the holes in the band... so... probably not...
If it does it's honestly excellent design, even if questionable as a fashion accessory.
the stupid product isn't as stupid as the fact that people will definitely buy it
I'm not really a jewelry-wearer, and certainly not an expensive jewelry wearer
That said, I think it's kind of fun. If I were the kind of person to wear jewelry, I might consider this. I'm a pretty hands-on, DIYer type of guy, I find myself fucking around with hose clamps pretty often, and hell, I might even say I have a bit of affection for them, I've solved a lot of problems with them.
That price seems steep to me, but I feel that way about most jewelry. I don't know what material it's made out of or how big it is, maybe that's a fair price for how much silver or whatever is in it, maybe it's horribly inflated.
While we're at it, then, let me point out that cynical Chinese knockoffs of the Leatherman Tread bracelet are totally things that exist and nowadays are readily available for suspiciously small amounts of money.
I've got one. I had to remove one link from it to keep it from falling off of me all the time, but it is indeed boss. I would not advise getting into a motorcycle wreck while wearing it, though.
A buddy of mine had one of these years ago, I really liked it and you’ve reminded me I need to get one from aliexpress. ;)
People can be far stupider still.
How long before people are wearing real hose champs.
How long before a "cheap" knock off is produced.

The customer is always right.
If people buy the thing, then it wasn't stupid to make or sell.
Nah it's still stupid even if you found morons to buy it.
So, there are no stupid products, only stupid customers?
Both exist, and there's a strong correlation.

Ambush released a line of zip ties sellling for many hundreds of dollars. We are living in a coocoo clock
It's been that way for so long. Pre-ripped jeans, kanye west's destroyed clothes, cheap jumpsuits but incredibly overpriced because they have a logo on them.
Also zip ties as a fashion statement from a company called ambush?

This is how Balenciaga does marketing and all of you are falling for it.
Ok, I realize it looks ridiculous, but you can tell this isn't actually a hose clamp, right? It's super thick and has a hinge and is made of silver and just LOOKS like a hose clamp. It's probably one of the least bullshit products Balenciaga has made in years. They're normally charging $2000 for a nylon windbreaker made of the same shit you'd buy at Target

When I see shit from Balenciaga I'm reminded that climate change actually makes total sense.
Look at this dumb shit. The people selling and buying this live in a world totally removed from the rest of us. I'm having like, a visceral reaction to this - I would look at someone wearing this like I would a venomous spider.
wow that’s the 2022 version. old news. check out the 2026 version for $1.2k!
I at first thought this was the Lemmyshitpost community. 😭
Perfect for that special hoser, eh.
take off, eh?
Sorry
I love this kind of shit. Total mark. I’ll admit it.
I’m too broke for these brands and I’m not buying anything anyways so keep your hate to a minimum. Also, try to be funny. K thanks xo
But the very next minute I proved he was wrong. For, just at that minute, a chap came along, and he thought that the Thneed I had knitted was great. He happily bought it for three ninety-eight.
I laughed at the Lorax, "You poor stupid guy! You never can tell what some people will buy."

I do hope this shows up in Harry Potter by Balenciaga 3

"Luxury" fashion is just a con to get stupid rich people to fork over their money. People with style will not buy this. It's so unfashionable that it won't even be counterfeited.

One time I was on the subway and my friend motioned at a lady sitting with a handbag on her lap. Friend asked how much I thought that bag sold for. It was a pretty basic looking bag, maybe real leather, a zipper. I said maybe a few hundred. They were like no, it's {some brand}, probably five figures.
Anyone who spends five figures on a bag that's not like a magical bag of holding should immediately be sent to therapy and community service.

I actually don’t hate it. ~~I just don’t know who this is for. The kind of person who would want a hose clamp as a bracelet certainly isn’t the kind of person who’ll get a $700 bracelet.~~
Actually, I just realized while writing this, this is actually perfect for the kind of person with one of those pristine, enormous pickup trucks. It’s for people with wealth who want to larp as working class.
Just ordered mine
you know theres probably gonna be a sucker out there wanting it to make himself feel like blingin handydweeb

It would be quite a flex to use these to clamp your car's radiator hose, though.
Jesus fuck everyone here is mad at the design but im over here wondering who the fuck is paying hundreds of dollars for fuckin brass jewelry??? You could fuckin make it from a $2 roll of nickels.
