First off, let’s be real – the name. Hermes. It just *sounds* fancy, doesn’t it? Like, you automatically feel a bit more sophisticated just saying it. And then you picture some swanky Parisian boutique, you know? Not, like, your local mall. And the buckles! Oh my god, the buckles. That big H. It screams, “I have money and I know what to do with it…or at least my sugar daddy does, LOL.”
Then there’s the whole “investment piece” thing. People are all, “Oh, it’s an investment!” which basically means they’re trying to justify dropping, like, a month’s rent on a freakin’ belt. But, honestly, maybe they’re onto something? I mean, they *do* seem to hold their value. And you can probably sell it later if you’re broke and need to pay the electricity bill.
And get this, I saw somewhere (probably on eBay, let’s be honest) about “AAA quality UK Hermès replica handbags, including Birkin, Kelly, and Constance, plus belts and scarves.” Okay, so, replicas. This is where things get dicey. Like, are we really trying to fool people into thinking we’re rocking the real deal? I dunno, seems a bit…sad? But hey, if you can’t afford the real thing, and it looks legit, more power to ya, I guess. Just don’t get caught!
Speaking of legit, I saw one listing blaring “Hermes Belt Prices In South Africa”. The price was like, thirteen million somethin’ something. Thirteen *million*?!?! For a BELT?! Alright, I’m officially out. That’s insane. I’d rather, I don’t know, buy a used car or something. Or maybe, like, a lifetime supply of tacos.
