My first thought is: are we talking about *actual* batches of shoes? Like, are some batches of D&G shoes better made than others? Kinda like how everyone’s always arguing about which year of Creed Aventus is the “best batch” (total fragrance nerd talk, I know, but hear me out). People obsess over batch codes, hoping for that *perfect* blend of smokiness and pineapple… it’s wild.
See, the thing is, with perfumes, you get variations. Apparently, some folks swear that the “ITA” (Italian-made) batch of D&G The One EDP is *supposed* to be better… but one person says it smells different and doesn’t last as long! Go figure. It’s like, what even *is* the truth? Are they gaslighting us with these batches? Is there some secret shoemaker society tweaking the stitching ratios on their shoes? I mean, probs not, but it’s fun to think about.
And then you got the whole batch code thing. Like finding a hidden treasure, or something. People are out there trying to decode these codes, wondering if they’re gonna end up with a vintage gem or some mass-produced dud. I saw one thing that mentioned a 4-digit code, but then another was talking about analyzing codes in general, like for any Dolce & Gabbana product. So, like, which is it? It’s all kinda confusing.
Honestly, I’d bet any perceived “batch” difference in shoes is probably just down to manufacturing tolerances and maybe some slight material changes over time. And let’s be real, maybe some people just have different preferences, or even got sold a fake! There’s a whole world of fake perfume out there, I mean, “Wild Kitty” (great name btw) was talking about maybe a 5oz bottle being potentially legit just cause it’s an uncommon size to fake.
