Summary
-
ZA/UM and Atelier have collaborated to sell a $ 160 berry design at Harrys from Disco Elysium.

It is extremely expensive, but if you really want to use it for practical reasons, it is more sustainable than Kevlar.
Look, I get that fashion and cosplay can be expensive, especially when you buy from a brand, but I have to pull the line here. $ 160 for a single carrying bag? If you want a souvenir from the game there are more beautiful souvenirs, and if it is for cosplay you can get a package with 75 Yellow carrying bags online for $ 10. If it's for style … Why?
As reported by Rock Paper Shotgun, ZA/UM and Atelier sell the same carrying bag that Harry Du Bois uses to collect bottles that he later deals for cash. 159 € is not only because it is licensed merch, but because it consists of an expensive dyneema “15x stronger than steel” (and stronger than kevlar).
I'm not sure what shopping requires fabric 15X stronger than steel, but it's not the kind of shopping you would do with a plastic carrier bag anyway. And this thing is very small, Because it is supposed to be a marsh standard plastic bag, so you wouldn't fit anything heavy enough to rip it anyway. I guess you can at least save you from being shot in Big Tesco.
This is the “last carrying bag you will ever need”
According to the website, this disco Elysium-style carrying bag “is the last thing you will ever need”, and I hope so. At about £ 130, in the UK, you can buy 1,320 transport bags for that price. If you were shopping once a week and use a single carrying bag (it would be an easy store), it would take you 25 years to get so many plastic bags.
It is a strange piece of merch that basic misunderstands themes for disco Elysium in the middle of a storm of controversy, layoffs and spiritual successors. Everything feels a little awesome, and I'm not sure Harry would react so well if you went up to him with a $ 160 berry while rushing for bottles to come by.
Disco Elysium was first launched in 2019 and sees that you play the role of a detective who is investigating a murder. Critically acclaimed for their themes, art style and largely combat -free games, with a more complete version of the game, The Final Cut, was launched in 2021.
