First off, let’s be real, Dior is *expensive*. Like, mortgage payment expensive. So, naturally, people are always looking for a deal. I’ve seen those ads that promise “branded wholesale products’ excess lines, stock lots, liquidation stocks, clearance stocks” from Europe. Sounds kinda sketchy, right? Like, are you *really* getting authentic Dior, or are you gonna end up with something that looks like it was made in someone’s basement? You gotta be careful, that’s for sure.
Then you see Klarna ads shouting about Dior sales, “up to 50% off!” and you’re like, “Okay, maybe I can actually afford this.” But then you click through, and either the selection is tiny, or everything’s already sold out, or… well, you know how it goes. Online shopping can be a real bait-and-switch sometimes.
And don’t even get me started on the websites that are clearly translated with Google Translate. You know, the ones that say stuff like, “Dior offers apparel that is created with precision, dedicating itself to sourcing and using only the finest materials and .” Like, okay, I get it, it’s fancy, but can you just *talk* to me?
I also saw something about vintage wholesale. Now, *that* could actually be cool. Finding a legit vintage Dior piece? That would be amazing! But then you’re signing up for emails, and they want your phone number for SMS marketing… it starts feeling like a little too much. Plus, you never know what kind of condition vintage stuff is in. Could be amazing, could be… not so much.
Oh! And then there’s all the stuff in other languages. I saw some Korean site with beautiful pictures of the Lady Dior bag. Now *that* bag is iconic. But I can’t read Korean! So, I’m just drooling over pictures I can’t buy. (Unless I magically learn Korean, I guess?)
