See, the thing is, you stumble across these listings – Poshmark screaming “70% off!”, The RealReal bragging about “up to 90% off!” (which, let’s be real, is probably one super obscure style nobody wants), and then you get lost in this whole rabbit hole of “vintage celine wallet” searches. And BAM! Handmade options start popping up.
Now, are they *actually* handmade by Celine? Probs not. More like handmade *inspired* by Celine. And I’m not knocking it! Listen, a girl’s gotta save a buck, and sometimes that means hitting up Etsy or, you know, those little vintage shops that smell faintly of mothballs and potential treasure.
But that’s where the fun starts, right? Finding that *one* piece that looks like it was lovingly stitched together, maybe with a slightly wonky seam here or there (character!), that screams “I’m bougie, but I also appreciate the artistry of a skilled artisan” (even if that artisan is just someone with a sewing machine in their garage).
And speaking of bougie, let’s not forget the “Wallet on Chain Triomphe.” Okay, Celine, we see you. Fancy name, fancy price tag. But is it *really* worth selling a kidney for? Probably not. Unless you’re seriously obsessed with the Triomphe logo, then maybe… I dunno. Don’t listen to me. I’m just a girl who likes shiny things.
StockX gets involved, too, which is weird because aren’t they usually about sneakers and, like, streetwear stuff? But hey, supply and demand, I guess. Someone’s out there flipping Celine wallets like they’re the latest Yeezys. Wild.
And then… oh god, there’s the “Over 700+ Badass Leather Biker Chain” thing. I’m… honestly not sure how that connects to Celine wallets. Is it like, a suggestion for a super edgy wallet accessory? Maybe someone’s trying to cross-promote some biker gear? My brain hurts.
