Could this R7k Prada paperclip be the perfect back-to-work accessory?

Could this R7k Prada paperclip be the perfect back-to-work accessory?

Remember that time Prada designed those shoes that looked a lot like school shoes? Well, this time things are slightly more weird, but not so much, if that makes any sense. 

Prada offers a sterling silver paperclip-shaped money clip for $400. That's a whopping R7,603.40. 

Now, at first glance, you would think who would want to spend that much on something that you can get for a couple of Rand? 

But when you have a little think about it, money clips have become something of a trend amongst people. With Hip Hop artists and Pop Culture references to the use of money clips, these accessories have become something of a statement piece.

"Measuring 6.25 centimeters long and 2.25 centimeters wide, Prada’s high-end paper clip costs just over $50 (R950) per square centimeter. Despite its luxurious aura, Twitter users express skepticism about the $400 paper clip, questioning its utility and price." (Instagram)
