I gotta say, first off, I’m always kinda suspicious. Like, if you’re gonna shell out the big bucks for CELINE (and let’s be real, we’re talkin’ *big* bucks), wouldn’t you *want* everyone to know it? I mean, that’s partly why you’re buyin’ it, right? For the flex? Or am I just being shallow? Prob’ly.
Anyway, I saw this, uh, blurb about a CELINE Triomphe Compact wallet with a detachable cardholder. Cool feature, I guess? Makes it, like, more versatile or somethin’. But the *no logo* thing still bugs me. Are we talkin’ a totally blank slate, or just, like, a super subtle debossed logo that you need a magnifying glass to see? ‘Cause there’s a HUGE difference.
Then I saw someone selling a Celine Logo Bifold Wallet (compact, leather, the whole shebang) on eBay for $196. Okay, that’s actually kinda tempting. Especially if it’s, like, legit. But eBay… you know. Always a gamble. Could be a super convincing fake. My grandma always says, “If it seems too good to be true, it prob’ly is,” and she’s usually right.
Honestly, I kinda prefer the ones from Saks OFF 5TH, even if they’re not *technically* “no logo.” At least you’re (hopefully) gettin’ the real deal. And up to 70% off? Don’t mind if I do!
See, the thing about CELINE is… it’s about that *vibe*, right? That understated Parisian chic thing. But isn’t that kinda ruined if you’re constantly worrying about whether people think your wallet is a knock-off? It’s like, “Oh, I’m *so* rich and sophisticated, I don’t need a logo!” But secretly you’re praying someone notices the subtle stitching or the way the leather smells. So, maybe the logo *is* the point?
