Thing is, are they actually worth the hype? I mean, you see these ads flashing up – “VIPSTATION – BALENCIAGA DEALS!” and then Vestiaire Collective screaming “Second-hand Balenciaga Wallets!” which kinda makes you wonder, doesn’t it? Are people just desperately trying to offload them after realizing they’re, I dunno, just…wallets?
Then there’s the whole “official online boutique” thing. They’re pushing the “Cash 2.0 Mini Wallet,” which, let’s be real, probably costs more than my entire grocery bill for a week. And it’s *mini*. Like, what am I supposed to fit in there? My hopes and dreams? A crumpled five-dollar bill?
And FARFETCH, bless their heart, is promising me “100s of new season pieces” and “express shipping.” Sure, FARFETCH, take my money! (Just kidding…mostly.) The lure of a Balenciaga wallet, though, is kinda strong. I’m not gonna lie.
But then I stumble across this snippet: “BALENCIAGA LEATHER CARD CASE, CARD SLOTS ON FRONT AND BACK, ICONIC BRAND MONOGRAM CONTRASTING ON FRONT. UNI. Height: 7 cm, Length: 9 cm. Gender: Men.” Okay, hold up. So, it’s…a card case? And…for men? I mean, I guess anyone can use it, but the way they’re positioning it feels kinda weird. And “UNI”? What does that even mean? Universally overpriced?
And finally, the “Kaufe und verkaufe Accessoires von Balenciaga Wallet auf StockX,” which is just German for “Buy and sell Balenciaga Wallet accessories on StockX.” See? Even the Germans are flipping them! (No offense to any German readers, of course. You guys make amazing cars).
