A new Balenciaga item has gotten social media users into a frenzy. The new clothing item was posted on Instagram on 15 November for the first time and had social media users talking.
WOW! NETIZENS REACT TO NEW BALENCIAGA TOWEL SKIRT
The Balenciaga towel skirt is said to be part of the brand’s 2024 Spring Collection, TMZ reported. It retails for a whopping $925 (an estimated R17 376). According to the publication, the high-end clothing brand said the new towel skirt is held up by two buttons inside the waistline and has an adjustable belt with a buckle inside.
The Italy-made skirt is a regular fit and is knee-length in size. It’s also said to be one of those items that need to be well-taken care of with dry-cleaning from time to time as it’s made from terry cotton.

Taking to their feed, Balenciaga said the towel skirt is from their unisex collection and has an embroidered logomark at the front. According to Vogue, the eyebrow-raising skirt comes months after Balenciaga’s creative director Demna shared that he was planning to turn away from gimmicky pieces.
“It’s a serious job, you know, to make clothes. It’s not about creating image or buzz or any of those things,” Demna was quoted as saying
Unsurprisingly, the towel inspired some strong opinions on social media.
