So, I’ve been scrolling through The RealReal lately, obsessing over potentially scoring some authentic Bottega Veneta gold and silver pieces. Like, imagine finding a vintage Bottega Veneta bracelet for, like, 90% off? *Swoon*. I mean, that’s the dream, right? A little slice of luxury without, you know, completely emptying your bank account.
And then you see Bottega Veneta themselves showcasing their *fine* jewelry collection and you just *know* that’s out of your budget. But, the *idea* of it, the glitz and glam of it all, it’s just *chef’s kiss*. Plus, they’re doing *watches* now too? I always thought Bottega Veneta was mainly about leather and that gorgeous woven Intrecciato style, but jewelry? I’m here for it.
But let’s be real, even thinking about the real stuff makes me want to check out Amazon, just in case. I mean, those “designer dupes” are getting kinda good lately. Maybe I could snag something that *looks* the part, you know? Fake it ’til you make it, right? But then I feel guilty cause it’s not *real*, and I’m contributing to some fast fashion garbage. Ugh. The struggle is real.
Speaking of real, did anyone else see that Bottega Veneta is doing men’s bracelets now too? Gold, silver, *leather* even. And they’re calling it “luxury?” I mean, I guess. Seems kinda… basic? For Bottega Veneta, anyway. Maybe I’m just being a snob. IDK.
Oh! And I saw something in… Chinese? About Bottega Veneta rings. Something about ‘shining mood’ and ‘unique fashion charm.’ Google Translate, do your thing! Okay, it looks like they’re promoting rings in China for some kind of special day. Cool, I guess. It’s just kinda thrown in there. Marketing, ya know?
