I was browsing, like, FARFETCH (because, you know, gotta dream big!), and then The RealReal (because, okay, maybe a *little* more realistic), and I started thinking about this whole logo thing. I mean, Prada *is* Prada, right? The Saffiano leather, the craftsmanship… it’s all there. Do you *really* need the little triangular badge to know you’re rockin’ a quality wallet?
Then I stumbled on this blurb: “Crafted from premium materials, these wallets feature exquisite detailing that adds a touch of sophistication to any ensemble.” See? It’s all about the details! The way the leather feels, the stitching, the *subtlety*. That’s where the *real* luxury is, ya know?
But… and this is a big BUT… is it still a Prada wallet if nobody knows it’s a Prada wallet? Like, is it worth the premium price tag if you’re basically just paying for the brand *without* the brand? My brain hurts just thinking about it.
Okay, so StockX is selling them… which implies people are buying and selling them. Hmmm. Maybe I’m missing something. Maybe it’s an “if you know, you know” kinda thing? Like a secret handshake for the ultra-rich? Ugh, I hate secrets.
And the whole men’s section being so small? What’s up with that? Only a few wallets and a random J Brand jacket? Someone needs to step up their game.
