Here Are 3 More Mind-Blowing Accessories"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

From $1,000 tin cans to carabiner heels (you can\u2019t make these things up), we\u2019ve shortlisted some of the quirkier accessories you can find on the Internet in case you\u2019re a purveyor of the finer, odder things in life. <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

ICYMI, Mothership recently wrote an article about a $760 earring<\/a> (yes, singular) that\u2019s driving the Internet wild. What\u2019s so special about it, you ask? Apart from its ridiculous price tag, this earring would probably come in handy if you needed an extra clothes peg for your laundry \u2014 because that\u2019s literally what it is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This got us thinking about what else is there on the virtual shelves of the World Wide Web. After all, many expensive yet relatively useless items were very<\/em> well-received in the past. Remember when Supreme sold bricks and when Gucci sold pre-ripped leggings? Yeah. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We took the liberty to source for some fun, impractical and expensive accessories just in case you have some extra dough to spare. (And if you\u2019re all in, check out our shortlist of the 10 most expensive beauty items in the market<\/a> while you\u2019re at it. Because, why not?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Carabiner Heels by Filling Pieces <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If we\u2019re being honest, this is one sick pair of heels. Is it impractical? Yes. Odd? Slightly. But you can\u2019t deny that it’s most definitely a head-turner if that\u2019s what you\u2019re gunning for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At a whopping \u20ac350 (~S$566), these boss heels definitely walk the talk. Crafted using smooth, luxurious black leather, these 10cm-tall heels are also fitted with easy-to-fasten magnetic ankle straps for extra comfort. The star of the show is, of course, the carabiner heel that\u2019s been embossed, bearing Filling Pieces\u2019 iconic logo. Modified ever-so-slightly to ensure that it can hold your weight and keep you in balance, the carabiner remains functional. So you can technically use your heels as you scale a rock wall, or if you decide you want to parachute at some point in your life. The possibilities are endless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Yes, you\u2019re looking at a tin can that\u2019s priced at US$1500 (~S$1998). Unlike the ones you typically throw once its contents have been emptied, this piece by Tiffany & Co is made entirely from sterling silver and vermeil. It even comes with their iconic Tiffany Blue\u00ae enamel accent, just to give this otherwise boring piece a classy, modern look. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While we\u2019re not entirely sure why they chose to recreate the humble tin can, at least it has some utilitarian value. Use it to hold your stationery or turn it into a fancy coffee cup; whatever you do, just make sure no one mistakenly throws it away! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
