Gucci’s Big Pants & Pillows

Remember Bridget Jones’ ‘absolutely enormous panties’? Well, Italian fashion house Gucci is flogging a cotton bra and pants set that wouldn’t look out of place in Bridget’s lingerie drawer. This underwear set contains a pair of giant knickers for an eye-watering £670.

The firm’s website reveals: ‘Crafted from embroidered GG tulle in ivory and completed with a light pink elastic Gucci stripe, this bra and briefs set completes several looks from the Spring Summer 2020 fashion show. A beautiful cliché of sexiness’.

If oversized underwear isn’t for you, Gucci has also created a £2,555 back pack – to cart around a pillow. Pointless when we’re on lockdown (and indeed when the next plane journey might not be until 2021), but you could always lug it from the lounge to the bedroom.

But for their monster investment, buyers do get a white cushion with pale blue stripes, with the firm’s famous monogram logo thrown in. And fashionistas clearly love the must-have accessory for sleepovers. So much so that the firm has sold out.

The backpack consists of leather straps plus a metal horse-bit design. Gucci comments: ‘Presented on the Spring Summer 2020 runway, the pillow holder brings a fashion element to the Gucci 1955 Horsebit line.

The front is further enriched with the line’s distinctive Horsebit hardware, an equestrian-inspired House code formed by a double ring and bar.’

If the world wasn’t mad enough right now.
