Google Is Now Selling Clothes?

Google's tech nerd Marissa Mayer turned fashionista, and it looks like her taste for designer clothes is rubbing off on the search giant.

Google is selling “Google-inspired” scarves and other clothing to the public that were designed by emerging designers. Last year, designers who participated in a Vogue and Council of Fashion Designer program were asked to create a one-of-a-kind item inspired by Google in some way that reflected Google’s aura. Google transformed the final creations into iGoogle Artists themes but selected three of the designers to produce and sell their Google-inspired couture.

Here’s the description of some of the items:

Flora Gill designed an oversize, multi-yarn, intarsia hand-knit scarf incorporating silk bias trim with wool and nylon yarn. Inspired by Google’s multi-functionality and diversity, the scarf features Google’s signature colors and is designed to be worn in several ways.

The scarf displayed in the picture is going for $300. I don’t know about you, but I rather invest $200 more and get an iPad.

You can also purchase Peace “Vintage” T Shirt inspired by the point on a Google Map that will set you back by $85. And for any jewelry fans out there, Google is peddling a $200 Old Fashioned Magnifying Glass Pendant, meant to be inspired by Google’s search.
