When Balenciaga released a £1,125 shopping tote that looked very similar to Ikea's $0.99 Frakta bag last spring, all fashion hysteria broke loose. Ikea vs. Balenciaga memes instantly took over Twitter and the Swedish retailer later responded with some A+ trolling in a tongue-in-cheek ad.

But it looks like Balenciaga isn't done making luxury shopping bags just yet. The French fashion house unveiled another new shopping bag, this one even more expensive than its lookalike Ikea bag. Coming with a £1,405 price tag, Balenciaga's new tote is a luxe version of the store's actual paper shopping bag. The black and white logo tote is made with 100 percent calf-skin leather, leather handles, and silver metal hardware (a step up from the paper version).

You can shop Balenciaga's latest tote at Colette.

North Korea's suicide soldiers pose new challenge for Ukraine in war with Russia
After a battle in Russia's snowy western region of Kursk this week, Ukrainian special forces scoured the bodies of more than a dozen slain North Korean enemy soldiers. But it is among mounting evidence from the battlefield, intelligence reports and testimonies of defectors that some North Korean soldiers are resorting to extreme measures as they support Russia's three-year war with Ukraine. "Self-detonation and suicides: that's the reality about North Korea," said Kim, a 32-year-old former North Korean soldier who defected to the South in 2022, requesting he only be identified by his surname due to fears of reprisals against his family left in the North.
