Honestly, it’s kinda overwhelming. But also, kinda intriguing? I mean, they’re definitely aiming for that “effortlessly chic, but also kinda quirky” vibe, which, lets be real, is *exactly* what I’m going for… on a *good* day.
You can find it all over too. The RealReal seems to have tons of authenticated stuff – which, you know, is good because who wants a fake designer something? MilanStyle.com is yelling about free shipping (tempting!), and ShopStyle is throwing cash back at me. It’s like everyone’s in a Miu Miu jewelry frenzy.
But here’s the thing… is it *actually* worth the hype? I mean, some of it IS kinda cute. I saw a ring on The RealReal that was…sparkly. Very sparkly. And I’m a sucker for anything sparkly. But then I saw the price and nearly choked on my coffee. I mean, come ON. It’s just… metal and some shiny bits, right? How much *can* it cost? A lot, apparently.
And then there’s the whole “upcycled” thing. Mytheresa is pushing that hard. Is that just a fancy way of saying “we took some old Miu Miu bits and glued them onto something new”? Or is it *actually* creative and cool and…sustainable? I honestly don’t know. I’m so confused.
And the “bijoux fantaisie”? Excuse me? I’m not even sure what that is. Probably just fancy French for “fake gems, but make it fashion,” if I had to guess.
Honestly, all this information is just making my head spin. Rings, brooches, bracelets… cash back, free shipping, expert authentication… upcycled, pre-loved, bijoux fantaisie… It’s too much!
