Gold mask straps in Thailand
When the pandemic hit, masks became both a health and fashion staple – everywhere you turned, you’d see someone wearing the coveted item. Even high fashion brands released their own iterations of the safety item.
When masks proved they were here to stay, next came the rise of mask straps. We’ve recently discovered a design perfect for high-rollers: solid gold mask straps.
Let’s see how much one of these chains cost.
