First off, you gotta decide *where* you’re gonna buy it. Obvious, right? But hear me out. You’ve got the direct DeMellier site (duh!), where you can browse all their bestsellers, like those shoulder bags everyone’s drooling over. They’re all about that “designed in London, handcrafted in Spain with integrity” vibe. Which, okay, sounds fancy, and probably means it’s gonna cost ya a pretty penny. But hey, at least you know it’s (supposedly) made well.
Then there’s FARFETCH. Now, FARFETCH is like the Wild West of designer goods. You can find a DeMellier there, sure, and maybe even snag it on sale (fingers crossed!), but… it’s FARFETCH. Sometimes the shipping is weird, and sometimes you’re wondering if you’re *really* getting the real deal. (Just sayin’, do your research, people!) Also, they’re advertising that you can pay in like, 12 installments? Kinda tempting, but also maybe a sign I should just stick to my trusty tote bag. Just a thought.
Speaking of price, let’s be real. DeMellier isn’t exactly cheap. You’re paying for the leather, the “London design,” and the whole “luxury” thing. Is it worth it? Honestly, that’s up to you. I’ve seen some that are absolutely gorgeous, especially those suede ones, but I’ve also seen some that, like, look kinda… basic? For the price, anyway.
And the “ICONS 2024 Collection”? I saw that mentioned. Five reimagined somethings? I’m guessing bags, but honestly the description is so vague. Sounds cool, though. Maybe. Depends on what they’ve *reimagined*, I guess. Are they going for a retro vibe? Are they just adding more zippers? The suspense is killing me!
