Think about it. LOEWE, right? High-end, fancy pants stuff. They’re churning out reversible bucket hats and cotton baseball caps, all that jazz. And you know how fashion is. Trends come and go faster than my attention span. So, what happens to all those hats that don’t *quite* sell? That’s where the “overrun” comes in, I reckon.
Now, you can find ’em all over the place, seemingly. StockX is selling ’em at “market prices” – whatever *that* means in the world of high fashion. Seems kinda like gambling to me, tbh. Then you got The RealReal, claiming up to 90% off… which, honestly, sounds too good to be true. I’m always a little skeptical when I see those kinda deals. Are they *really* real LOEWE? Or just… really good fakes? Gotta be careful, folks!
And then GOAT’s in the mix, assuring authenticity. See, this whole hat thing is a *maze*. You got Loewe South Africa, Hotel Gasthof Löwen (wait, what’s a hotel doing selling hats?!), and the official LOEWE online store slinging jacquard and calfskin Anagram bucket hats like they’re going outta style (which, let’s be honest, they probably *will* eventually).
The descriptions are all… artsy fartsy, right? “Artisanal prowess,” “unique designs,” “handcrafted by artisans.” Give me a break. It’s a hat. A *nice* hat, sure, probably with some fancy stitching and maybe made of, like, unicorn tears or something. But still. It’s a hat.
Honestly, I think the whole “overrun” thing is probably just a clever marketing ploy. Scarcity breeds demand, right? Make people think they’re getting a super-exclusive, slightly-cheaper-than-usual LOEWE hat and BAM! Sales go through the roof. I mean, who *doesn’t* want a little piece of luxury, even if it’s just a hat that wasn’t cool enough to sell at full price?
