First off, it seems like EVERYONE is selling them. FARFETCH, The RealReal, GOAT (yeah, the sneaker place!), Mytheresa… even some random “skm online 新光三越線上官方購物平台” which, uh, no idea what that is, but apparently, they got LOEWE hats. Talk about saturation, huh?
And the price points? Woof. The RealReal says you can get ’em up to 90% off… *authenticated* LOEWE hats. Which kinda makes you wonder, like, how many fake LOEWE hats are floating around out there if they gotta have *authentication*? Scary thought.
Then you got GOAT hyping the Loewe Patch Cap ‘Black’, the Loewe x Suna Fujita Intarsia Beanie ‘Green/Multicolor’ (that name is a mouthful!), and the Loewe Bucket Hat ‘Natural’. Honestly, the bucket hat is kinda cute, but I’m a sucker for bucket hats in general.
The thing that keeps getting repeated is that they’re “made in Italy.” Like, okay, Italy makes good stuff. We get it. But does “made in Italy” automatically equal “worth mortgaging your house for”? I dunno. Depends on the hat, I guess.
Mytheresa is pushing the *men’s* hats, which is interesting. So, LOEWE’s a unisex hat game, I guess? Or maybe they just assume guys like fancy hats too. Which, hey, power to them. No judgement here.
Look, bottom line? LOEWE hats seem… fancy. They’re designer. They’re probably well-made (because, you know, “made in Italy”). But are they *high precision*? That sounds kinda weird, like you’re expecting laser-cut precision from a hat. I think the draw is more about the brand and the look.
Maybe I’m just a cynical old (ish) woman, but I need a hat to *do* something. Keep the sun out of my eyes, keep my head warm, maybe hide a bad hair day. Paying a fortune for a hat just for the *name* seems… excessive. But hey, if you got the money and you love the look, go for it! Just… maybe don’t tell me how much you spent on it, okay? My budget’s more in the “Target clearance rack” zone, thanks very much.
