So, CELINE hats. Yeah, they’re kinda a *thing*. I mean, you see them everywhere online, especially if you’re like me and spend way too much time scrolling through Poshmark or Lyst. You’ve got the whole range, from panama hats that scream “I’m vacationing in the South of France” (even if you’re just going to the grocery store), to the more edgy, streetwear-y ones like those chapkas with the Triomphe patch. Seriously, that Triomphe logo is like, CELINE’s calling card, right?
And then there’s the “EU Stock” bit. Now, that’s where things get a little… murkier. What exactly *is* “EU Stock”? Does it mean they’re actually *made* in the EU? Or just, like, stocked in a warehouse in Germany somewhere? I dunno, and honestly, nobody seems to really clarify. I’m just thinking about the possibility of getting one of those hats, and then it turns out it’s shipped from some dodgy dropshipper in who-knows-where… Ugh. Nightmares.
Plus, the prices? Holy moly! We’re talking hundreds of pounds/euros/whatever currency you prefer to weep in. Is a hat *really* worth that much? I mean, it’s just a hat, right? But then you see someone rocking a CELINE hat and suddenly you’re like, “Maybe… maybe I *do* need to elevate my headwear game.” It’s a vicious cycle, I tell ya.
Stylight’s got some, Poshmark’s got deals (maybe), Lyst is showing off the fancy new stuff… and Vestiaire Collective is there for the secondhand hunters (like me, let’s be real). StockX, though? That’s where you go if you’re tryna flex that streetwear vibe. Honestly, it’s a minefield.
Oh, and don’t even get me started on trying to figure out if it’s real. There are SO many fake CELINE products floating around. I swear, half of the “CELINE” stuff I see online is probably made in someone’s basement. You gotta be super careful, check the stitching, the logo placement, all that jazz. It’s a whole investigation, and frankly, I’m not always up for it.
