Bottega Veneta sells telephone cord necklace worth Rs 1 lakh. Internet is not impressed

Italian luxury brand Bottega Veneta has gone viral for selling necklace resembling coiled telephone-cords for Rs 1 lakh. Netizens were not impressed with their jewellery piece.

Italian luxury fashion house Bottega Veneta is going viral online for the most bizarre reasons. The brand is selling a necklace that resembles a telephone cord. No, not the USB cables that we use every day. Rather, they look like a classic landline telephone cord - the old-school curly one. Additionally, they are worth USD 2,000 (Rs 1,45,189). Yes, you read that right. Popular Instagram page Diet Prada took to Instagram today to share a picture of Bottega Veneta's newest addition to their fashion collection. Called the 'Necklace', the coiled accessory is made with enamelled sterling silver and comes with a hook fastening. Moreover, the jewellery comes in three different shades of green, blue and white. Diet Prada shared a collage of the necklace worth USD 2,000 and coiled telephone cords worth USD 5 (Rs 362) to show the difference. "Bottega is the new Vetements (sic)," they captioned the post.
