First off, the whole “tax-free” thing usually points to duty-free shops, right? Like at airports. I saw somethin’ about Louis Vuitton duty-free prices, but nothin’ specific about Fendi IN duty-free. Dangit. It’s like, do they even *sell* Fendi wallets at these places? You’d think so, given the brand rep, but honestly, I haven’t seen it with my own two eyes. It’s all about luck and the specific airport, I guess. And don’t even get me started on figuring out if it’s *actually* a good deal, ’cause sometimes those duty-free prices are inflated anyway! Total scam!
Then you got the whole online thing. I saw all kinds of ads: “Fendi Wallets up to 90% off!” on The RealReal (which, let’s be real, is usually pre-owned, but hey, sometimes you find gold!), and Saks OFF 5TH screamin’ about “70% off!” with fast shipping. Sounds too good to be true? It probably is. You gotta watch out for fakes, especially with brands like Fendi. I mean, nobody wants to get stuck with a knockoff that falls apart after a week. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt, threw the t-shirt out ’cause it was a cheap imitation t-shirt.
Ebay’s an option too, saw that mentiond, but again, buyer beware! I’ve gotten some amazing deals on eBay, but also some seriously questionable stuff. And FARFETCH? They’ve got the fancy stuff, like the Baguette wallet-on-chain (oh, that’s tempting!), but I doubt you’re gonna find a HUGE tax-free discount there, ya know? Probably just the usual luxury markup.
And get this, I saw something about “Fendi bet deals”. I have N O idea what that is supposed to mean. Typo? An illegal Fendi gambling ring? Hmmm.
