Bar Refaeli Wears Expensive Dress That Raises Questions Over Its Value

By מערכת וואלה אופנה
Translated & summarized from Walla by baba
The story · English

Israeli model Bar Refaeli has been sharing summer vacation photos on her Instagram account while spending time on a yacht, showcasing a Mediterranean vibe. Among her outfits, she wore a yellow-black bikini from Tropic of C, a well-known design available for about 300 shekels per piece on Factory 54's website. However, the focus shifted to two dresses she packed for her trip. One was a beige maxi dress with a fitted, ruched top and delicate tie straps, captured in a selfie against a sea backdrop. The other was a floral midi dress, which appears to be from Saint Laurent's Spring-Summer 2016 collection. This dress is currently sold mainly on vintage and secondhand sites for nearly 2,000 shekels. The article questions whether the high price is justified, considering similar floral prints are widely available in fast fashion stores. This raises curiosity about the value of such luxury items compared to more accessible alternatives.
