First off, those Rolando Hidden-Platform Pumps? I saw one listed on… somewhere… and it’s described as “brand-new, unused, and unworn.” Like, okay, who *buys* Louboutins to NOT wear them? Feels kinda sus, doesn’t it? Makes you wonder if they’re just sitting in a closet somewhere, collecting dust… or maybe someone bought them as an “investment” (eye roll).
And then there’s the whole fragrance thing. Eleven fragrances! Like, seriously? I watched this unboxing video, and honestly, I’m not convinced. I mean, sure, the bottles are gorgeous, all fancy and whatnot. But are the *scents* actually worth the crazy price tag? My gut says… probably not. I bet you could find a dupe that smells just as good for, like, a tenth of the price. Just sayin’.
But okay, ignoring the specific products for a sec. What’s the deal with the whole “Christian Louboutin” brand *experience*? Their website is all “exclusivity” and “new creations” and “free standard delivery.” It’s like they’re trying *so hard* to make you feel like you’re buying into something special. And, I gotta admit, it kinda works. I mean, even *I* feel a little tempted sometimes… even though I know I could probably pay my rent with the cost of one pair of their shoes.
Also, did you KNOW they do eyewear now? Eyewear! I feel like they’re just trying to get their red-soled hands on every single accessory market possible. Like, okay, shoes, fragrances, fine… but eyewear? I don’t know, feels a little bit like they’re stretching themselves too thin, maybe? Or maybe they’re just incredibly shrewd business people, I dunno.
