Now, hold up. What *is* “overrun stock”? Basically, it’s stuff that factories make *more* of than they were supposed to. Maybe they got the order wrong, maybe they had extra materials, who knows? The point is, it’s technically authentic, but maybe didn’t pass the super-duper picky quality control that the brand usually has. Think like, a slightly wonky stitch, or a teeny tiny scratch.
And you can find, like, wholesalers selling these Fendi belts! This one ad even mentioned a price of $5.20 per piece if you buy at least 10. FIVE DOLLARS?! For a Fendi belt?! Okay, that sounds almost TOO good to be true. Definitely screams “proceed with caution” territory. I mean, come on.
This ad from a Bangkok wholesaler… says “FENDI Original Overrun Stocks”. Original? Overrun? The grammar’s a little…off. But hey, maybe that’s just the language barrier, right? *Right*? They want you to contact them on Instagram. Classic. Always a little sus when they only offer one contact method, especially a social media platform.
Look, I’m not saying these are *definitely* fake. Maybe, *maybe*, you could snag a legit Fendi belt for practically nothing. But let’s be real, the chances are… slim. Like, winning-the-lottery slim.
Think about it: Fendi’s a HUGE luxury brand. They’re not exactly known for accidentally overproducing stuff and then selling it off for pennies on the dollar. It just doesn’t… jive.
So, what’s the deal? Could be a few things:
* Really, really good fakes: Like, so good they’re almost indistinguishable. But still fake.
* Factory rejects: Maybe *technically* “Fendi” because the materials and factory are legit, but didn’t meet the brand’s standards. Still, buyer beware.
* Straight-up scams: They take your money and run. Poof! No belt, just a hole in your wallet.
