Right, LOEWE. Fancy scarves. Everyone and their grandma (if their grandma’s got *serious* style) knows Loewe. I saw something about them on Mytheresa – “finest edit of women’s luxury fashion” they said. Which, let’s be real, translates to “really, really expensive but oh-so-soft scarves.”
But tax-free? Where’s *that* coming from? Okay, so I’m digging around, and I find bits and pieces. FARFETCH has LOEWE scarves, and they mention “free pick-up returns.” Hmmm, not tax-free, but hey, returns are good, right? Especially if you accidentally spill your coffee on your alpaca and wool Anagram scarf (been there, done that… ugh, the dry cleaning bill…).
Then there’s this weird bit about faulty articles on the Korea/Singapore site. LOEWE will “repair, replace, reduce the price…” So, if your super-expensive, supposed-to-be-amazing scarf unravels after, like, *one* wear, maybe *that’s* your ticket to a discount. Not exactly tax-free, but a reduction in price ain’t bad either. It’s kinda like getting a mini-tax break on a defective item, if you think about it sideways.
Okay, wait a minute. Maybe the tax-free angle isn’t *explicitly* stated, but think about it: if you’re traveling internationally (and let’s face it, who *isn’t* dreaming of a trip to Singapore right now after reading about that art installation??), you might be able to snag a VAT refund on your purchase. That’s, like, *kinda* tax-free-ish, right? Depends on the country, of course. Don’t quote me on that. I’m just some random person on the internet rambling about scarves.
And that submarine one! “Appliquéd with a submarine and logo-embossed leather patch”! Who even *thinks* of that? It’s so quirky and unexpected. I low-key wanna buy it just for the sheer absurdity. But, again, $$$$.
