There are some things in life that just dont need a designer counterpart.
And yet, major fashion houses throw their name on some pretty ordinary things.
Previously weve seen Jenga sets, volleyballs and pencil cases from Louis Vuitton.
But now Yves Saint Laurent is getting in on the action.
The luxury French retailer is offering condoms at £5 a pop on its website and it hasnt gone unnoticed on social media.
Fashion enthusiast Chalukya who goes by @balenciogre on Twitter spotted it and shared the images with her followers.
She wrote: Why am I so tempted to buy these YSL condoms when Im not even going to use them, I just want to collect them for the sake of fashion.
Anyone else tempted to buy the stuff can choose between six different prints.
The options include checkered, cob, zebra, leopard, heart and the YSL monogram printed on a black cover.
Chalukyas mood was immediately relatable with other users who liked and commented on her post in their droves.

Thats the level of extra I aspire to be, wrote one while another said: Imagine hosting a party and having a bowl of these in the bathroom.
Others noted the disappointment of expecting another more fancy item from YSL but getting the condom instead: Just imagine your man saying he bought you some YSL and he pulls this out.

Of course, some had jokes. One person quipped: Karl Marx couldnt have predicted this form of capitalism.
To that, another wrote: I think hed enjoy that theyre controlling the means of (re)production.
