What are safety pins for? The little metal pins help to keep a drape together. It's a knight to avoid and manage wardrobe mishaps. The best part? You get a bunch of pins for just Rs 10 or Rs 20. If it is attached to a brooch, it costs more (depending on the design).
The reusable pins are a part of every woman's accessory bag, and many even carry them in their handbags (just in case). If you meet old Indian women, you will find a safety pin hanging from their bangles. Like Sheldon (from The Big Bang Theory) said, "It's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it".
Since these pins are affordable and accessible, people won't give a thought if they lose one. However, if you want to own Parda's safety pin, you might have you get insurance for it (just like Apple care).
Prada's Safety Pins Cost More Than Rs 69,000
The luxury fashion brand sells accessories at an exorbitantly high price. But no one thought that a single metal safety pin brooch with knitted-thread detail and a tiny Prada charm could be priced at $775 (Rs 68,758 approx).
Many brooches are studded with diamonds or rare gems, which is why the price could be in lakhs, but Prada's brooch is merely a golden safety pin with colourful threads wrapped around it.
