Maybe I’m missing something. All the snippets I’m seeing online talk about silk, silk, silk. Vintage silk, new season silk, silk on sale at Lyst.com (apparently a happening place for scarves, who knew?). And then there’s some RealReal action, promising authentic Celine scarves at, like, ridiculously discounted prices. You gotta wonder, though, about “authentic” when you’re talking 90% off. Just sayin’.
Then there’s that Polish online store… droning on about “meticulous attention to detail” and “sumptuous cashmere weaves.” Cashmere! Not leather! My brain is starting to hurt.
Okay, okay, back to the supposed *leather* thing. Maybe it’s a typo? Or maybe it’s a super niche item. Like, CELINE does some weird, experimental stuff sometimes, right? I remember seeing a runway show once with, like, chainmail dresses. So, a leather scarf wouldn’t be totally out of left field, I guess. But would it be *premium*? I mean, leather scarves can be kinda… well, *itchy*. You’d need some serious, like, super-soft, lambskin-butter leather to make that work. And then, how do you even *wear* it? A silk scarf, you can drape, tie, fold… the possibilities are endless. A leather scarf? Does it just…hang there? Like a weird, fashionable bib?
And the price! Even a *silk* CELINE scarf can set you back a pretty penny. $178 on sale? That’s just the starting point, folks. So, a premium leather version? You’re probably looking at enough to put a down payment on a used car. Seriously.
Thinking about it, maybe it’s not a scarf made *entirely* of leather. Maybe it’s a silk scarf… with *leather trim*? That actually sounds kinda cool. Like a little edgy, a little rebellious, but still classy. Yeah, I could see that. A silk scarf with little leather tassels or a leather border. Okay, my brain is starting to make sense of this now.
But, the whole “premium” thing still bothers me. Because what makes a leather scarf *premium* anyway? The type of leather? The stitching? The… I don’t know… the *smell*? It’s all so subjective, isn’t it?
