Anyway, this makes me think about brandless Miu Miu. Hear me out! It’s kinda like… we all know Miu Miu. It’s Prada’s cool, slightly younger (and maybe slightly more broke?) sister. They do that quirky, girly-but-also-kinda-punk thing, y’know? So, imagine if you could capture that *essence*, that *vibe*, without the actual logo slapped all over everything.
Like, you could totally DIY this, right? Get some cheap-ish pearls (not the real deal, obvs, unless you’re rolling in dough), maybe some ribbon, some cute little charms from a craft store, and BAM! Instant Miu Miu-esque creation. You could even throw in some safety pins for that edgy touch they sometimes go for.
Honestly, sometimes I think the whole branding thing is just a scam. You’re paying for the name, not necessarily the quality. (Okay, sometimes you *are* paying for quality, I guess. But still!). So, why not just… fake it ’til you make it?
The real kicker is, Miu Miu jewelry IS pretty expensive. I mean, 10% off is nice, but still. My broke millennial self can barely afford the shipping, let alone the actual earrings. That’s where the “brandless” aspect becomes appealing. You get the look, the feel, the *aesthetic*, without emptying your bank account.
And honestly, who’s gonna know the difference? Unless you’re hanging out with Anna Wintour, probably nobody. They’ll just think you have good taste. (Which, let’s be honest, you do, ’cause you’re rocking the Miu Miu *inspired* look).
