See, I was browsing, ya know, just casually looking for something, anything, to make me feel like I’m not completely broke and wearing the same t-shirt for the third day running (don’t judge me!), and BAM! Givenchy pops up *everywhere*. Official sites, Saks (fancy!), Nordstrom (slightly less fancy, but still!), Mytheresa (never heard of it, but sounds expensive), even… *tries to remember*… oh yeah, FARFETCH, though for some reason they’re being all mysterious and not letting on what the heck they actually *do*. Weird.
So, you got this Maison Givenchy, right? Sounds all posh. They’re pushing this women’s ready-to-wear thing, talking about classics and “new icons” which… honestly, I’m never sure if “icon” is actually used correctly anymore. Everything is an icon these days. My cat is practically an icon. Anyway, dresses, jackets, coats, the whole shebang. Seems elegant and all that jazz.
And then you got the Saks angle. They are screaming “FREE SHIPPING! FREE RETURNS!” which, let’s be honest, is the siren song of the modern consumer. I’m a sucker for free shipping, I won’t lie. And they’re shouting about “new arrivals!” all the time. So you know, it’s fresh. Supposedly.
Mytheresa is in the mix too. Supposedly exclusive. Fast delivery. Worldwide! Like, you could be in the middle of nowhere and still get a Givenchy top. That’s something, right? And oh god, they’re having a “Last Call: Extra 30% off” which is probably just a clever marketing ploy, but it works on me, okay? Don’t judge.
Now, here’s where it gets a little… well, confusing. Nordstrom.com is selling Givenchy tops too! But like, is it the *same* Givenchy? Are they getting the discounted stuff and marking it up? I don’t know! The internet is a confusing place. I just want a nice top without having to take out a second mortgage, you know?
And then you gotta wonder, what even IS “Top Grade” Givenchy? Is it like, the *top* top? The cream of the crop? Or is it just, you know, regular Givenchy that some store decided to call “Top Grade” to make you think you’re getting something extra special? This is the kind of stuff that keeps me up at night, seriously.
