Now, bear with me here, ’cause this is where it gets a bit… wonky. You see Balenciaga *everywhere*. And by everywhere, I mean *EVERYWHERE*. Their whole schtick lately seems to be slapping their logo, like, diagonally, all over everything. Blankets, scarves, hoodies, your grandma’s dentures (okay, maybe not dentures, but you get the picture).
So, you’d think finding a Balenciaga scarf *without* a logo would be like finding a unicorn that only eats kale and hates rainbows, yeah? Like, utterly impossible. But the internet, bless its chaotic heart, keeps hinting at it.
I see mentions of “Balenciaga Scarves” but then they all link to, like, logo-mania. Then there’s the “Allover Logo Blanket” which, let’s be real, could totally double as a scarf if you’re feeling dramatic and have a strong neck. And then there’s this “Oversized Scarf in Black” with a “Monogrammed Balenciaga logo on both sides.” Like, COME ON.
So, is there a No Logo Balenciaga Scarf? I honestly don’t know, dude. Maybe it’s a discontinued item? Maybe it’s a rumor started by fashion bloggers trying to sound edgy? Maybe it’s just a figment of my increasingly caffeine-fueled imagination?
The thing that gets me is… why WOULD Balenciaga even *make* a no-logo scarf? Isn’t the whole point of buying a Balenciaga item showing off that you bought a Balenciaga item? Like, you’re basically paying to be a walking advertisement for them. Which, I mean, no judgment, but it’s a thing.
Maybe… maybe the “No Logo Balenciaga Scarf” is code for “Any regular black scarf that you can convince yourself is Balenciaga because you’re cool and minimalist and above the branding hype.” Yeah, that sounds about right. Or maybe I should just give up and buy the blanket. At least then I can snuggle in a sea of diagonal B’s and pretend I’m a high-fashion burrito.
