For many, owning luxury brand bags or shoes is not uncommon. While the appeal of these brands is inevitable, the price can easily burn a big moon-sized hole in our pockets . 

Unless you have a well-paying job or are organised with money-saving habits, buying from luxury brands can be challenging.

These brands leave no stone unturned with their launches and coming up with styles with a staggering price tag.

This pair of slip on is sold by Indian Retail chain STAR Market for $1.2. problem is, entire locality wears the same slip-on and hence avoid them.

They think their brand is only for the rich....

The sliders look similar to crocs, the only difference being the G-motif all over and the heel height of the pair. Moreover, the perforated rubber adds luxury appeal. 

The monogram appears as a cut-out motif on the sandals for a highly effective and precise detail.

This is not the only time Gucci has received backlash for selling such sky-high products. 

The brand faced flak for selling an embroidered kurta, inspired by desi aesthetics that cost Rs 2 Lakh. 

A kurta can be bought at a meagre cost in India, but Gucci's price left people scratching their heads. 

Before this, Gucci had also launched inverted or upside-down effect eyeglasses. The unconventional style retailed for Rs 56,000 approximately.
