Manufacturer: Justin Cignac

Category: Tchotchke
Price: $ 50
Lust Factor: Hot
Description: Up front: It’s well packaged garbage. Step back from it, and it’s beautiful branding. If you find the right people to buy this, it creates a community of NYC Garbage owners. Only a finite number of people will ever own this, and this is most likely a very exclusive group of people that fuels the brand desire. To prove my point, in the Timeout New York Article a few months back, Cignac was originally selling his creations for $10, and now you can get one for no less than fifty. Why? Desire, my friends.
Do I smell the second coming of Jeff Koons? Or was that just the garbage?
