First off, like, where DO you even *start* when you’re hunting for one? You see all these ads, right? “FARFETCH! Express Shipping! New Season Pieces!” And then bam, “Preloved Fashion!” It’s enough to make your head spin, honestly. Like, do I want brand spanking new, or vintage and, you know, *broken in*? I guess it depends on how much you wanna drop, right? Balenciaga ain’t exactly cheap, whether it’s fresh off the runway or been lovin’ly used.
And then there’s the whole EU thing. You see “Balenciaga GB official online boutique” and “Balenciaga BR official online boutique” (BR is Brazil, BTW… just in case). So, like, what *is* EU stock? Does that mean it’s only available in Europe? Does that mean it’s just *sourced* from Europe? I’m kinda leaning towards the latter, since they are all over the world as well, I think. It’s all a little hazy if I’m being real, eh?
I saw something somewhere about “classic city bag to stylish leather clutch” – that’s cool, I suppose, but what *kind* of leather? Like, is it gonna scratch the second I look at it wrong? And what about the sizing? Sometimes I swear bag sizes are just completely made up. What they call “small” could probably fit a small dog sometimes, y’know? Other times, its like, a teeny tiny coin purse.
Okay, and then we get into the Demna Gvasalia era. I mean, some of his stuff is straight-up *out there*. Like, intentionally ugly-chic. Which, honestly, I kinda dig. But it also makes me wonder if that “timeless silhouette” they’re talking about on StockX is actually timeless, or just… aggressively trendy right now. You know? Will I be looking at it in five years thinking, “OMG, what was I thinking?” Probably, let’s be honest!
