Did you or your grandma have these classic landline telephones at your home, with the curly telephone cord? Little did I know that few years down the line, we would see some retro fashion accessories inspired by this common household appliance. Read on to know more.
Luxury fashion brand Bottega Veneta is selling necklaces resembling our old telephone cords. As per their official website, the necklace made with enameled sterling silver, retails for $2,000 (Rs. 1,45,000 approx.) and comes with a hook fastening.
The range also includes rings and earrings costing ¥ 58,300 (Rs 40,000) and ¥ 93,500 (Rs 65,000) respectively, Times Now reports.
Needless to say, people online were not impressed. A page compared the necklace’s price to actual phone cords available in the market worth $5 (Rs. 362) only:
Here’s what others had to say:

Meri daadi ka landline cord wapis karo bhai!
2. Yeh toh ghar pe DIY friendship bracelet banaya tha bachpan mein!
3. Way too expensive! How even?!
This reminded me of other fashion products like Balenciaga’s transparent ‘blanket bags’ that resembled our kambal bags and Louis Vuitton’s luxury face shields with golden studs. Which bizarre trend surprised you the most? Tell us!
