The Lidl x Nik Bentel Croissant Bag has been created in collaboration between the retailer and the designer as a chic fashion accessory with a decidedly ordinary inspiration. The bag consists of a croissant purse that comes with a golden zipper and trolley coin, which is encased inside a takeout bakery bag that merges the aesthetic of a roll top clutch purse with that of a paper bag. The bag comes with two strap options to work well day or night and is being offered for just £50 via Bentel's website starting August 29 at 3pm.
Bentel commented on the Lidl x Nik Bentel Croissant Bag saying, "I’ve always believed that design should take the mundane and make it memorable. Working with a brand like Lidl for our first UK partnership, that is so well-known for its witty and humorous relationship with its customers, was a no-brainer. Throughout the creative process, we looked at tying together the cult-status bakery item from Lidl, with our love of celebrating the norm – this gave us an opportunity to think deeply and create something truly unique."
