In a surprising fashion-world move, Saint Laurent recently introduced its own line of branded condoms, selling them for €2 EUR (about $2.20 USD) each at its Rive Droite concept store in Paris. The release quickly gained traction online, though luxury-inspired condoms are not entirely new. Over the years, brands like Alexander Wang and Marc Jacobs have promoted safe sex through designer-themed contraceptives, while fans have also created mock luxury versions inspired by iconic fashion labels.
Here are six notable examples of condoms receiving the high-fashion treatment.
Marc Jacobs “Remember, safety first! xxoo” Condoms
Back in 2008, Marc Jacobs-themed condoms appeared on eBay featuring the designer’s playful message: “Remember, safety first! xxoo, Marc Jacobs.” They were initially sold online for $1.99 USD each, while later reports noted they were also available at the Marc by Marc Jacobs store in Los Angeles for $1.50 USD.

Fan-Made “Louis Vuitton” Condoms
In 2012, architect Irakli Kiziria created a conceptual set of condoms inspired by Louis Vuitton branding for a design project. Although unofficial, the monogram-style packaging attracted major attention on Twitter and was reportedly sold online in packs of 12 for $68 USD.
