Okay, so I saw this thing online, right? Poshmark. Selling Chloé wallets – supposedly. And they’re all like, “70% off!” Which, alarm bells should be ringing, y’know? 70% off a Chloé? Sounds kinda sus, ngl. Now, I’m not saying they’re all fake, but *come on*.
Then there’s this other thing, this “Wallet On Chain IcOnic”…I mean, the name alone screams “designer trying too hard,” doesn’t it? It’s “Iconic” but with a capital “O” in the middle. Yeah, okay. And it’s only in stock at ONE store? That’s either super exclusive, or they just haven’t sold any, LOL. It is what it is.
And then! (Oh my gosh, the chaos of trying to find a decent wallet…) There’s the Alphabet Trifold, which, admittedly, sounds kinda cute. But trifolds? Are we still doing trifolds? My grandma had a trifold. No offense to grandmas, but, y’know, it ain’t exactly cutting edge.
Okay, so, overrun stock… that usually means, like, excess inventory, right? Stuff that didn’t sell, maybe from last season, or maybe slightly damaged. It could also, and this is just me being cynical, mean it’s, you know, *not* the real deal. Just sayin’.
Like, imagine those Marcie wallets. Grained leather. Sounds nice, right? But if it’s overrun stock, maybe the grain isn’t *quite* as lux as it should be. Maybe the stitching is a little…off. Maybe it’s been sitting in a warehouse somewhere getting all dusty. I mean, you don’t really know. It’s a gamble, really. A fancy gamble, but a gamble nonetheless.
Then you’ve got OTTODISANPIETRO, which sounds Italian, I guess? They claim to curate “lighthearted luxury,” which is just a fancy way of saying “we sell expensive stuff that’s kinda fun.” But what *entices* customers? They don’t even say! What a tease! Like, is it the quality? The brand name? The slight feeling of superiority when you pull out a Chloé wallet to pay for your coffee? I need answers, people!
