So, I was kinda poking around online the other day, you know, just seeing what’s what, and BVLGARI shoes kept popping up. Netshoes, TikTok (weird, right?), Saks… everywhere! And they all seem to be pushing this “top grade” thing, or at least implying it. Like, are all BVLGARI shoes not supposed to be top grade? That’s kinda the point, isn’t it?
I saw some stuff about ‘shoe pattern grading’ which… okay, sounds super technical and kinda boring, ngl. But I guess it’s how they make the different sizes. I mean, duh, but it’s still cool to know the process. Also, someone was selling “original” BVLGARI shoes in Brazil with like, a “Certificate of Authenticity” and free returns… which makes me wonder, are there a lot of fake BVLGARI shoes floating around? Scary thought!
And then there’s this whole “OEM Grade” thing. I have no idea what that means. Is it like, almost-BVLGARI but not quite? Like, the Bvlgari you buy when you’re on a *budget* budget? Someone please enlighten me on that one. My guess, it’s a shoe that is not the official bvlgari product, could be a knock-off, could be made by another company that are authorized by Bvlgari to make it, who knows really.
Selfridges.com has a whole “BVLGARI Mens” section… which is good to know if you’re a dude looking for fancy footwear. I’m not, but hey, options are good.
Honestly, all this online stuff makes me think: getting “Top Grade” BVLGARI shoes is a bit of a minefield. You gotta dodge the fakes, figure out what “OEM Grade” even *is*, and navigate all the different retailers yelling about discounts and free shipping. It’s exhausting!
