First off, Bloomingdale’s is pushing it HARD. “Hourglass Wallet on Chain Mirror Effect,” they yell. Free shipping, free returns, pick-up in store… the works. It’s like, chill, Bloomingdale’s, I get it! You got a shiny wallet.
And then there’s the whole “on chain” aspect. I’m personally a *little* on the fence about chain wallets. Are we trying to bring back the 90s? I mean, I love a good throwback, don’t get me wrong, but I also don’t wanna accidentally look like I’m about to hop on a motorcycle with a biker gang, ya know?
Okay, so, the “mirror effect.” That’s the key part, right? It sounds kinda futuristic, kinda flashy. Like something a cyborg would carry. Or maybe a supervillain with impeccable taste. I’m imagining a polished, reflective surface… which, honestly, probably just means it’s gonna be a fingerprint magnet. *Ugh.* The struggle is real.
And the price? Don’t even get me started. I saw someone online selling it for like, a bajillion dollars. Okay, maybe not *a bajillion*, but definitely over $1450! For a *wallet*?! My rent is cheaper than that, seriously. But hey, it’s Balenciaga, so you’re paying for the name, the design, and probably some very fancy unicorn tears or something.
The shape too, this “Hourglass” thing. I think I dig it. The Reddit comment mentions “High-fashion connoisseurs” recognizing it by the shape even before the ‘B’. Which is probably true, I mean, I wouldn’t know. I barely know how to use chopsticks. But it *does* look kinda cool, all angular and stuff. Makes it seem… important? Like you’re carrying around top-secret documents instead of loyalty cards and loose change.
REVERSIBLE has mini bags too, which is cool, but we were talking about the wallet, weren’t we? My train of thought went off the tracks, sorry.
