So, I’ve been doing some digging, right? And it seems like this “overrun stock” thing is kinda…shady. You see whispers of it online, especially when you’re hunting for deals on, like, those iconic Opyum heels (the ones with the YSL logo as the actual heel? Ugh, *dreamy*). People are scouring eBay, hoping to snag something “new or used” but let’s be real, everyone wants “new.” And the allure of “free shipping” on select items? It’s like a siren song.
But here’s the thing that gets my spidey senses tingling. Saint Laurent (or Yves Saint Laurent, YSL, whatever you wanna call ’em) is *luxury*. Capital L, capital U, you get the picture. They’re known for being all fancy and exclusive. So, the idea of a bunch of “overrun stock” just… floating around… doesn’t quite sit right, does it? I mean, wouldn’t they just, like, *burn* the extra stuff before letting it devalue the brand? Okay, maybe not burn it, that’s a little dramatic. Donate it? Re-purpose it? I dunno, something that doesn’t involve random eBay sellers.
And then you see these “Saint Laurent Shoes Outlet” situations. Which, like, okay, outlets *exist*. But are they *really* pushing out massive amounts of stuff that would then somehow end up as “overrun stock?” It feels a little… convoluted. I mean, go check out the official Saint Laurent site, they’ve got sandals, pumps, mules, boots, the whole shebang. And they’re not exactly *cheap*.
I was even looking at Saks Fifth Avenue earlier, drooling over some crepe satin platform sandals. Seriously gorgeous. But it makes you wonder where the “overrun stock” even *comes* from if their regular stuff is already priced accordingly, you feel me?
Then there’s the whole sneaker thing. The Court Classic, all simple and neutral, blah blah blah. I mean, they’re nice, I guess. But even *those* are probably not getting “overrun” in the quantities some of these sellers are suggesting.
My gut feeling? Be careful. *Super* careful. If a deal on YSL shoes seems too good to be true, it probably is. You might end up with a really convincing fake, or some reject that *should* have been destroyed. Or, you know, just nothing at all after you send your money.
