I was browsing online the other day, trying to find a killer brooch (because let’s be real, brooches are making a comeback, and anyone who says otherwise is just wrong, okay?), and I stumbled across a bunch of LOEWE jewelry stuff. Some of it was clearly, like, mass-produced designer stuff from places like Saks and Mytheresa, which, you know, is fine. Totally fine. But then I saw some stuff that was like, “Check out our LOEWE jewelry box selection for the very best in unique or custom, handmade pieces from our jewelry boxes shops.” And I was like, hold up.
Is LOEWE actually *doing* handmade stuff? Or is this more of a… *inspired by* kinda situation? Because, like, you can find all sorts of “handmade” things online, but sometimes it’s just someone with a glue gun and a dream, slapping a brand name on it. Not that there’s anything wrong with that! Everyone’s gotta hustle, right?
Then you got places like The RealReal, selling authenticated LOEWE jewelry at, like, up to 90% off. Which is tempting, I ain’t gonna lie. But then you’re not getting the “handmade” aspect, are ya? You’re getting secondhand…pre-loved. Which is cool too, don’t get me wrong! Sustainable fashion and all that jazz.
And then there’s this “ANDREA925 Store Ufficiale Online: Handmade” thing… which, tbh, I’m a little suspicious of. “Ufficiale”? Sounds kinda…offish? Like maybe it’s trying a little *too* hard to sound legit. But hey, maybe they’re the real deal! You never know.
So, what I’m gettin’ at is… this whole handmade LOEWE jewelry thing is a little bit of a rabbit hole. You gotta really dig to figure out what’s genuine, what’s “inspired,” and what’s just… well, let’s just say “enthusiastically crafted.”
Also, Paris street style? What’s that gotta do with anything? I saw something about “7 Cool Trends That Defined Street Style in Paris” and it’s like…okay, cool, maybe they were wearing LOEWE jewelry, but is it handmade LOEWE jewelry? The world may never know.
