I mean, look at all these scarves, man. “Bottega Veneta® Women’s Cashmere Scarf in Mid grey. Shop…” and then “Bottega Veneta® Men’s Cashmere Scarf With Leather Patch in Navy melange. Shop online now.” It’s all just about quality, see? The brand name is there, sure, but the actual scarf itself? It’s shouting “luxury” without screaming it in your face with a giant BV plastered all over it.
And the cashmere, oh man, the cashmere. You just KNOW it’s gotta be buttery soft. I saw one description that said “Charcoal melange,” which, like, I don’t even know what that means exactly, but it sounds expensive and fancy. And that’s the point, isn’t it? You’re buying into this whole vibe, this understated elegance.
Plus, you can find used ones on Vestiaire Collective… second-hand silk Bottega Veneta scarves, for women. So like you can be sustainable and bougie all at the same time, which is always a win.
It’s funny, though. Even the “Intreccio Wool Scarf in Navy” sounds fancy. Intreccio… I’m guessing that’s some kinda weaving technique? Probably super complicated and done by, like, Italian artisans or something. That’s the whole appeal, I think. You’re paying for the craftsmanship, for the quality of the materials, not just for the brand name.
And that ’employee sales and regular products cannot be purchased at the same time’ thing? Lol. So basically, if you work at Bottega Veneta, you can’t be greedy and hoard all the discounted scarves for yourself. Fair enough, I guess.
Actually, thinking about it… Maybe *not* having a logo is the ultimate status symbol, right? Like, you’re so confident in your style and your wealth that you don’t need to flash a label at everyone. You just *know*. And everyone else knows, too. It’s the silent flex. Which is, ya know, the best kind.
