In the past, we’ve shared many instances of luxury clothing items that resemble everyday items but with ridiculous prices, including the ‘pothole’ t-shirt and the ‘tape’ bracelet by Balenciaga.
Now, luxury footwear being sold in Saudi Arabia have gone viral globally for looking exactly like bathroom slippers, or as we Malaysians call them, Selipar Jepun.
RM5,700 luxury sandals in Saudi Arabia that look exactly like Selipar Jepun
Shared by Kuwait Inside on Instagram, the ‘trendy sandals’ in various colours were on display at an undisclosed luxurious clothing boutique in Saudi Arabia, before the staff pulled out 1 in white and blue to show them off to the camera.
As the staff, who was wearing black gloves to protect the footwear, carefully pulled out the sandals, their price tag became visible, revealing the SAR4,590 price or approximately RM5,700.
The staff then carefully showed off the delicate design and features of the footwear, including the texture of the soles, the flexibility and more.

Meanwhile, another commenter joked that these sandals are not meant for wearing but instead used by mothers to throw at their children when they misbehave.
