Everyone loves the famed Ikea blue tote bag, so much so that Balenciaga copied the design and sold it for $2,000. We’ve seen streetwear companies turn the versatile bags into baseball hats, and now they’re getting a holiday-inspired redesign.
According to Mashable, British shop Bootleg Baubles transformed Ikea’s tote bags into blue holiday stockings. The “Swedish Stockings” are going for £20 ($27).
“Nobody knew they wanted this and suddenly here it is,” the website’s description for the stockings says, which definitely seems like an accurate summation.
The company only made a limited run of 50 stockings, and as of now, they are all sold out. There’s no telling if the success of the stockings will prompt the company to release another round, but it’s an interesting idea to say the least. We guess for those of us that are super obsessed with Ikea (I can’t get enough of my SMÖRBOLL chair), these stockings are a hot commodity.
What will the iconic bag be transformed into next? We’re betting big on fidget spinners and iPhone cases.
