Gucci is selling denim overalls with grass 'stain effect' for $1,400
[NYPOST] Luxury brand Gucci is selling strategically stained denim overalls for a whopping $1,400 — perfect for poseurs who want to look rugged but are really just rich."This denim overall is crafted from organic cotton and specifically treated for a stained-like, distressed effect," reads the description of the dirty dungarees, which debuted on the runway as part of a grunge-inspired collection back in January and are now available in stores and online.And even though the splotchy streaks probably aren’t real grass stains, the brand is keen to point out that the piece is being made with our good green earth in mind. "It is produced through cultivation and manufacturing processes that don’t involve harmful chemicals, pesticides or artificial fertilizers," a description on Gucci.com reads. But real farmers think these fancy pants should be put out to pasture. "For [that much money], I’m thinking, ’What’s the equivalent of that in second-cut hay bales?’ That’s the currency I’m most interested in," farmer Lauren Gitlin, 40, told The Post. Although the former New Yorker, who runs Vermont dairy farm Villa Villekulla, said her biggest sartorial splurge was a pair of insulated Carhartt overalls (which start at about $70), she’d know just what to do with the Gucci set.
