Because, the whole POINT of a Fendi belt (and frankly, why you’re dropping the kinda-scary amount of cash they want for ’em) IS the branding. That FF logo, man. It’s like, the bat signal for fashionistas. You see that, you *know*. You know someone’s willing to shell out, and probably has a really nice walk-in closet. I mean, FARFETCH is pushing ’em hard, right? Black, brown, grey, REVERSIBLE even! Reversible. For when you want to subtly flex… or not so subtly.
And The RealReal? 90% off, they say. Now that’s tempting. Still probably, like, mortgage-payment tempting, but hey, worth a peek, right? I’d be checking the authenticity, though, like, *obsessively*. Especially if it’s a “brandless” Fendi belt. Because, come on, a *real* brandless Fendi? That’s either a super-rare, super-early design prototype (unlikely) or… well, let’s just say the street vendor next to my old apartment sold “Prada” bags that looked… suspiciously like they were made of something that used to be a grocery bag.
Then there’s this thing about “bespoke” Fendi belts with interchangeable buckles. Okay, now *that’s* interesting. So you could theoretically, I guess, get a plain, non-logo buckle. But would you? Would you REALLY pay Fendi prices and then deliberately hide the logo? Feels… counterintuitive, doesn’t it? It’s like buying a sports car and then only driving it in the slow lane.
And then there’s this random bit about a pink calf leather belt, size 80 cm, with gold-tone hardware and the FF logo. Just kinda thrown in there. Makes you wonder, are we even talking about the same thing anymore? This whole “brandless Fendi belt” thing feels like a thought experiment gone wrong.
