First off, let’s just acknowledge the elephant in the room: “overrun” usually means stuff that didn’t quite make the cut, right? Maybe a stitch is off, or a color is slightly wrong, or like, they just made too much and gotta offload it somehow. And Bottega Veneta? That’s supposed to be *luxe*. Handbags that cost more than my car, ya know? So the idea of “overrun” Bottega kinda feels… wrong. Like finding a slightly dented diamond. Still a diamond, but… hmm.
I mean, theoretically, it could happen. Maybe some dangly earrings didn’t meet their incredibly picky standards? Or a bracelet was like, *almost* perfect but got a tiny scratch. Things happen, right? Factories mess up. Even fancy Italian ones, I’d imagine.
But the thing is, finding legit overrun Bottega Veneta jewelry is probably like finding a unicorn riding a bicycle. You’d have to REALLY dig. And you’d have to be careful! Because the internet is crawling with fake Bottega. You think they *wouldn’t* fake “overrun” stuff to make it seem more believable? Come on, people are shady.
Honestly, my gut feeling is, if you see something advertised as “overrun Bottega Veneta jewelry” for a suspiciously low price, it’s probably a dupe. A really, really good dupe, maybe, but still… a dupe. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not judging. Sometimes a girl just wants the *look* without selling her kidney. But let’s be real, it’s probably not authentic.
Plus, think about it: Bottega Veneta is all about exclusivity. They’re not gonna just dump their rejects on some random website. They’d probably destroy it first, or sell it off to some super-secret, invite-only sample sale. Maybe rich influencers get first dibs on the almost-perfect stuff? I dunno, just spitballing here.
So, should you invest in “overrun” Bottega Veneta jewelry? Well, that depends. If you *know* it’s legit and the price is right, maybe. But do your research! Compare it to pictures of the real deal. Look for the craftsmanship (even if it’s *slightly* flawed). And for gods sake, don’t expect it to appreciate in value like the real thing.
