First off, you see Miu Miu plastered *everywhere*. Online, offline, your grandma’s magazine… It’s all over the place. And what ARE they even selling? One minute it’s “Visite Nossa Loja Oficial Miu Miu Online” (which, okay, I *think* is Portuguese for “Visit Our Official Miu Miu Online Store” – thanks, Google Translate!), and the next it’s about some fancy schmancy “MíU Tri-Ply Stainless Steel Wok.” A WOK?! Miu Miu makes cookware now? I’m genuinely asking. This is, like, throwing me for a loop.
Then there’s this “Miu Miu L’Eau Rosée” perfume. Which, yeah, okay, makes sense. Miu Miu does perfume. But then BAM! Trendyol.com wants to sell me “Generic Twist By Miu Miu Eau De Parfum Women 100ml with very special discounts!” GENERIC Miu Miu perfume? Is that even a thing? What does “generic” even *mean* in this context? Is it, like, a knockoff? A dupe? The mind boggles.
And the shoes! Oh, the shoes. FARFETCH is all “Explore o melhor da Miu Miu” and showing off miniskirts and ballet flats (which, tbh, I kinda want), but I’m still stuck on the generic perfume situation. Like, are we supposed to be excited about real Miu Miu while also contemplating buying, uh, *less* real Miu Miu? My brain hurts.
And THEN there’s the bags. R$ 44.890,00 for a “Miu Miu Arcadie Matelasse Nappa Leather Bag Black.” That’s, like, a small fortune! No thanks. Seriously, I could buy a decent used car for that price. And I could *definitely* buy a REALLY nice wok.
