First off, where DO you even start? I mean, you got StockX, eBay, Harrods…it’s like Burberry belt bag mania out there. StockX is good if you’re worried about fakes, you know? They kinda “verify” stuff, which gives ya a little peace of mind when dropping serious cash on a fancy bum bag (lol, sorry, “belt bag”). But, hey, eBay can sometimes have steals if you’re willing to roll the dice a little. Just, like, *really* look at the photos and seller feedback. Don’t be a sucker!
Then there’s the whole “which one” situation. The Cason? The Sonny? What even *is* the difference? Honestly, sometimes I think Burberry just makes up names to confuse us. The Cason seems to be the classic check deal, maybe a bit more “posh,” ya know? The Sonny sounds a bit more…street? “Washed nylon cotton twill”? Sounds durable, but also, kinda casual. Depends on your vibe, I guess.
And the *price*! Ouch! $870 for a reversible TB belt at Harrods? Come on, Burberry, I got rent to pay! (Okay, maybe not *that* belt, but still! Belt bags aren’t cheap). You gotta hunt for those sales, man. StockX might be your best bet for scoring something below retail, especially if you’re okay with a pre-owned one. Which, honestly, who cares? It’s a belt bag! It’s gonna get scuffed anyway.
Honestly, I’m a little torn on the whole belt bag thing in general. Are they still “in?” Are we gonna look back in five years and cringe? Probably. But, hey, fashion’s all about embracing the awkward, right? Plus, it’s actually pretty practical. Keeps your phone and wallet safe, and frees up your hands to, like, hold a coffee or something.
