Department Store Sells Leather-Wrapped Stones for $85 a Piece
Original article on OddityCentral.com – a blog on oddities and wacky news http://www.odditycentral.com/
American department store Nordstrom recently made international headlines for selling good ol’ fashion stones partially wrapped in leather at the insane price of $85. But that’s not even the strangest part. For some reason, people apparently loved them so much that the bizarre item is now sold out.
Called simply a “Medium Leather Wrapped Stone”, Nordstrom’s latest hit product is just that – a simple rock around 3 inches by 4.5 inches by 2 inches partially wrapped in a vegetable-tanned leather pouch. Frankly, the only special thing about it seems to be the price, a whopping $85. Why someone would want to spend that kind of money on a rock is anyone’s guess, and Nordstrom seem to agree.
“A paperweight? A conversation piece? A work of art? It’s up to you, but this smooth Los Angeles-area stone—wrapped in rich, vegetable-tanned American leather secured by sturdy contrast whipstitching—is sure to draw attention wherever it rests,” the online product description states.
As you can imagine, a lot of people originally thought this to be a prank, but reputable sites like CNN and The Huffington Post have contacted Nordstrom about it, and they confirmed that it is a real product, and a very popular one at that. After going viral on social media, the $85 leather-wrapped rocks were soon sold out online, with the only remaining ones available at Nordstrom’s Michigan Avenue store in Chicago.
Because these are real stones, made by Mother Nature, they all vary in shape and size, so if you fell in love with the pictures posted by Nordstrom, don’t expect yours to look exactly the same.
