The clear plastic packaging reads: “ASOS discover fashion onilne”, instead of … Well, you’ve probably guessed.
Instead of reprinting them though (or worse, throwing them away), they’ve decided to roll with it and send them out anyway.

However, there is a slight concern – albeit very slight – that, in the age of Supreme bricks, the “limited edition” misprinted bags might end up selling for sky-high prices elsewhere online.

It wouldn’t be the first time that a seemingly innocuous, everyday item sold for a ridiculously high price. Last April, Balenciaga debuted its $2,145 Arena Extra-Large Shopper Tote Bag, which some reckon looks an awful lot like IKEA’s 99-cent Frakta tote.
