According to the website of the company, these earrings are made in Italy and have Balenciaga’s logo engraved on a plate.
This is not the only time luxury fashion brands have faced the ire of internet users.
Last year, fashion house Gucci became the target of much criticism after it introduced a dress resembling an Indian kurta priced at about Rs 2.5 lakh. The images of the dress went viral, and internet users had a field day posting humourous comments.
