I was just scrolling, you know, doing the usual internet black hole thing, and I saw these ads. One from Poshmark screaming about 70% off Dior women’s accessories and hats. The other? StockX, all serious about “market prices” and “StockX Verified.” And I was thinking, “Dior hats… why are Dior hats such a *thing*?”
Like, I get Dior. They’re, you know, *Dior*. Fancy. But hats? It feels kinda… specific. I mean, who’s actually shelling out serious cash for a Dior hat? Is it a “look at me, I’m rich” kinda flex? Or is there some secret society of Dior-hat-wearing fashionistas I’m completely oblivious to? (Probably. I’m usually oblivious to most things fancy).
And then there’s the whole Poshmark vs. StockX thing. Poshmark’s all about the deals, right? Hunting for that diamond in the rough, maybe scoring a *slightly* used Dior hat for, like, less than a week’s rent. StockX feels more… legit? Like, you’re buying from a *verified* source, so you’re (hopefully) not getting ripped off with some knock-off.
But see, here’s my problem. I’m inherently suspicious of anything that’s both “luxury” and “discounted.” It’s like, if it’s *really* Dior, why is it on Poshmark for pennies on the dollar? Did someone inherit a closet full of Dior hats and just want them gone? Or are we talking about some seriously convincing fakes? My brain just starts spinning.
And the “brandless” thing is weird, too. You’re searching *Dior* hats, but the StockX thing is talking about “Dior Caps.” Is “Cap” supposed to imply that all the products are not directly sold from Dior? Hmmm.
Honestly, I kinda want to buy one just to see what all the fuss is about. But then I remember I’m a starving artist (lol, cliché, I know) and that money would be better spent on, like, actual food. Plus, I’d probably just spill paint on it immediately.
