So, you see these ads, right? They’re all “Shop Miu Miu hats for women! Baseball caps, wool hats, bucket hats, and *more*!” More what? More ways to spend a month’s rent on something that sits on your head? Don’t get me wrong, some of them are cute. That black and white denim one I saw… kinda dig it. But $192? For a *hat*? Come on!
And then you start digging around on sites like Vestiaire Collective, and it’s all “Buy second-hand patent leather MIU MIU hats!” Patent leather? On a hat? I mean, I guess if you want your head to sweat profusely and look like a disco ball, go for it. I just… I don’t know. Maybe I’m just not high-fashion enough to *get* it.
The whole thing feels a bit… disjointed. Like, you’ve got this high-end brand, right? Miu Miu. Known for being all edgy and kinda quirky-chic. Then you see these hats, and some of them are just… normal. Like, you could probably find a similar bucket hat at Target for, like, $15. Okay, maybe not *identical*, but close enough that the average person wouldn’t notice the difference.
And then there’s GOAT. Yes, GOAT. Apparently, they’re selling Miu Miu hats too! “Buyer protection guaranteed!” they scream. Which, okay, good. Because if I’m dropping serious cash on a designer hat, I want to make *damn sure* it’s not a knock-off made in someone’s basement. Though, honestly, at this point, I’m starting to think a cleverly disguised, well-made knock-off might be the way to go. Shhh, don’t tell anyone.
Look, I’m not saying Miu Miu hats are *bad*. I’m just saying… they’re a bit much. The price point is insane. And the variety? It’s all over the place. Denim, wool, *patent leather*… It’s like they threw a bunch of different ideas at the wall and saw what stuck. Honestly, I think I prefer a baseball cap I got for free at a charity event, you know? Simple, comfy, gets the job done. And, most importantly, it didn’t leave my wallet weeping.
