This Prada paper clip costs more than a one-way flight to Mexico

Prada is known for its Italian luxury fashions. But it’s recently added office supplies to the lineup, and those are just as expensive as some of the brand’s more popular items.
The company is selling paper clips, and you can purchase one for a whopping $185.
Described as a money clip on Barney's website, the little tools are crafted in Italy, made out of sterling silver and stamped with the signature Prada logo.
And it could all be yours for just under 200 bucks. That’s pricier than a 1.7-ounce bottle of Prada’s Candy perfume, which retails for about $60. And it’s even more costly than a one-way flight from Atlanta to Cancun, Mexico for $173.

Sure, you can grab a box of 100 paperclips from Office Max for about $3 and one from Staples for about $2, but isn't it better to keep your forms and files organized with a designer one?
Twitter doesn’t seem to think so. Many were baffled by the price tag.

Others wondered if the product was magical or did more than clip papers together.

Then there were a few who pondered what else they could purchase for $185.
Do you know how many bags of hot cheetos I could buy with $185 ?
