We’re all for trying to save the planet by drinking out of reusable straws rather than plastic ones – but do we really have to spend more than £100 to do so?
Dior has revealed it’s selling a six pack of hand-painted and hand-blown glass straws. And they’ll set you back £120 – that works out at £20 a straw.
Three of the straws are gold tone, while the other three have a spiral motif. But no matter how fancy they look, we can’t help but think they’re far too expensive and delicate to warrant putting in your G&T on a Friday night.

Stainless Steel Straws, Yes I Want It, £5.99
This set of four works out at just over a quid per straw – and the pack comes with a cleansing brush to keep them sparkly clean. We’re into the metallic colours: pink and blue two-toned, stainless steel, rose gold and gold.
Collapsible Reusable Straw, Amazon, £6.99
If you don’t need to buy a pack, opt for a single straw that’s collapsible and even has its very own carry case. Easy to chuck in your bag so you don’t forget it – and it comes with a cleaning kit, too.
Reusable Organic Bamboo Straws, Mamoq, £12
Or, go for bamboo straws instead with this pack of eight. The straws are made from sustainably sourced bamboo, and are reusable, recyclable and compostable. Just give them a quick rinse under a tap or a soak in water and they’re good as new.
