First impressions? Their social media game is… well, it exists. All those hashtags, the “newin” and “fypシ” stuff – feels a little try-hard, y’know? But hey, gotta play the game, I guess. They’re definitely pushing the Chanel, Hermes, Dior thing hard, which, yeah, screams “luxury,” but also kinda feels predictable? Like, *everyone* wants those brands. Where’s the originality, eh?
Then I saw they’re based in Helsinki, which is cool. I’ve always wanted to visit Finland. Aand then, I saw something about “pre-loved” handbags. Okay, pre-loved can be code for “used,” and sometimes “used” is code for “slightly-falling-apart-and-overpriced,” so you gotta be careful. The reviews seem pretty good, though, a solid 4.8 average. 164 people saying they’re “excellent” is definitely a plus. Still, I’d wanna see these bags in person before dropping serious cash.
They mention Balenciaga, Cartier, Dior, the whole shebang. It’s like, a curated selection of super-expensive things. Which, you know, good for them, but also… is it *really* worth the price tag? I mean, a Dior bag is beautiful and all, but is it *that* much better than, like, a really well-made, independent designer bag? I dunno. My wallet definitely leans towards the latter.
And the whole “Luxury with a story” thing? It’s a good marketing line, I’ll give them that. Makes you feel like you’re buying more than just a handbag; you’re buying a piece of history, or a status symbol, or whatever. But honestly, at the end of the day, it’s still just a handbag. A very, *very* expensive handbag.
They have “worldwide shipping,” which is nice for all you international peeps. I wonder what the shipping costs are like, though? Probably outrageous.
