For the mega-rich, clearly, a regular plastic grocery bag is too drab.

Céline, a France-based luxury clothing brand, unveiled a transparent plastic shopping bag [during Paris Spring/Summer 2018 fashion week in January](https://hypebae.com/2018/1/celine-plastic-shopping-bag-lambskin-purse-set). The bag has since been spotted in a Nordstrom pop-up store in Seattle, retailing for $590. (That is approximately $589.95 higher than what a regular plastic bag costs to produce.)

Women's fashion site *[Hypebae](https://hypebae.com/2018/2/celine-nordstrom-seattle-pop-up-plastic-bag)* first reported seeing the Céline bag in stores, along with other exclusive pieces designed by the brand's longtime artistic designer, Phoebe Philo.

Philo left the company last December, according to [*The New York Times*](https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/22/fashion/phoebe-philo-celine.html), becoming the fourth high-profile designer to leave a major fashion brand in late 2017.
