I mean, check out the FARFETCH blurb. They’re all, “Blending the finest Italian craftsmanship with a contemporary twist…” Yeah, yeah, yeah. Fancy words for “This belt is really, REALLY nice.” And honestly, they’re not wrong. Especially if you’re going for that minimalist chic look. Like, I saw some influencer rocking one with just jeans and a white tee, and she looked effortlessly cool. I could never pull that off, I’d probably just look like I forgot to accessorize. But still, the potential is there, you know?
Then you got this other blurb talking about “Designer Gürtel für Damen” – that’s German for “designer belts for women,” for those of you playing at home. It mentions the triangle logo being a “protagonist” of a new jewelry line. Which, okay, makes sense. The triangle *is* iconic. But see, that’s the thing! Even when they’re talking about the *lack* of the logo, they’re still talking about the LOGO. It’s inescapable!
And THEN, you have the “Prada Belts for Men” description, which casually drops the fact that the triangle logo, which isn’t even on the “No Logo” belt, originally appeared on TRUNKS designed by Mario Prada back in 1913. Like, who even knows that? Honestly, I feel like I’m learning about fashion history while simultaneously trying to figure out if I can justify spending $500 on a belt that *doesn’t* have the logo plastered all over it.
