Fendi Overrun: Is It Real? And Should You Even Care?
So, listen, Fendi. We all know Fendi. Fancy bags, clothes that cost more than my rent, the whole shebang. But then you start seeing whispers online… “Fendi overrun.” What *is* that, even? Is it, like, Fendi rejects? Fendi’s oops-we-made-too-much pile? Honestly, it’s probably a mix of things.
You see all these listings, right? “FENDI Original Overrun Stocks Size 5-14 MOQ 10 per color Price 5.20$/pc.” Five freaking dollars?! For *Fendi*? Somethin’ smells fishy, and it ain’t the fancy fish from a Fendi-approved restaurant.
I mean, think about it. Fendi, a company that prides itself on, you know, *luxury*, isn’t exactly gonna be loudly advertising their “oops, we made too much” pile. Unless…unless they’re *not* advertising it. Unless someone else is. Like those wholesale guys in Bangkok (+66949424526, if you’re curious!).
Okay, so here’s my take. My *very* unprofessional, completely-based-on-internet-snippets take:
* It’s probably legit…ish. Meaning, it’s probably *related* to Fendi production. Maybe it’s stuff that didn’t pass quality control. Maybe it’s extra stock from a specific order. Maybe it’s even stuff made in the same factories *as* Fendi, but without the official Fendi tag. Who knows for sure? I don’t.
* The “Original” Claim…grain of salt, people. “Original” is a loaded word. Is it “original” in the sense that it came from the same supply chain? Maybe. Is it “original” in the sense that it’s the exact same quality and design as the stuff they sell in the Fendi boutique? Probably not.
* Quality is gonna be…variable. That’s putting it nicely. Remember that “Factory Branded Overrun Stock of Garments for Men’s Padded Jacket Stock Clothing LBH-0912C $5.50-10.50” listing? Yeah, that sounds about right. You’re getting what you pay for. Don’t expect the same level of craftsmanship as a piece that costs hundreds (or thousands) more.
* MOQ is your enemy (or your friend). MOQ means “minimum order quantity.” So if they’re asking for 10 pieces per color, you better have a plan for what to do with all those, like, size 8 pink Fendi-adjacent shirts. Unless you’re starting a very specific dress-up club.
So, should you buy it? Honestly, that depends on your risk tolerance and your expectations. If you’re expecting a Fendi-level experience for five bucks, you’re gonna be sorely disappointed. But if you’re looking for a cheap way to get a piece of clothing that *might* be kinda related to Fendi, and you’re okay with potentially getting something that’s less than perfect, then… go for it?
Just don’t come crying to me if your “Fendi” shirt falls apart after one wash. I warned ya. And maybe, just maybe, think twice before telling everyone it’s “original.” Just sayin’.
