First off, “High Precision” – I’m guessing that’s just a retailer trying to sound extra legit. I mean, *all* Celine wallets SHOULD be high precision, right? You’re paying, like, a gazillion dollars! If the stitching’s wonky, you’re gonna riot. I saw one on The RealReal, supposedly authenticated, and it looked… well, let’s just say my grandma could probably sew a straighter line after her third sherry. (No offense, Grandma, you’re a queen).
Anyway, Celine wallets. They’re everywhere. You got the classic Triomphe canvas ones – those are, like, the Instagram darling, everyone’s gotta have one. Practical? Debatable. Stylish? Definitely. Then you got the alligator leather ones… which, personally, feel a bit… extra? I mean, I get luxury, but is it *necessary*? Plus, alligators deserve a break, ya know?
And don’t even get me STARTED on the price. Seriously. You could buy a decent used car for the price of some of these things. But hey, who am I to judge? If you got the cash and it makes you happy, go for it. Just promise me you’ll actually *use* it and not just put it in a glass case.
I saw some on YOOX too, which is always a bit of a gamble. Sometimes you find a legit steal, other times it’s like… hmmm, is this *really* a Celine, or did someone just slap a logo on a piece of pleather? Ya gotta be careful. Always, always check the authentication stuff. And maybe squint at the stitching. Just sayin’.
The whole “investment piece” thing? I dunno. Some people swear by it, saying they hold their value. Maybe. But I’m more of a “buy what you love and will actually use” kinda gal. If you’re buying a Celine wallet just to flip it on StockX later, well, good luck to ya. It might work out, it might not. The wallet game is a wild ride, man.
