First off, finding one that isn’t gonna bankrupt you? Good luck. Vestiaire Collective seems to be the spot for second-hand ones, which, frankly, is probably the way to go unless you’re swimming in cash. I mean, a brand new Balenciaga hat? Ouch. My wallet’s crying just thinking about it. Plus, you get that cool vintage feel, you know? Like it has a *history*. Even if that history is just someone else’s bad hair day.
FARFETCH is always throwing around new collections and the whole “express shipping” thing, which is tempting, I admit. But is it *really* worth the extra dough? Maybe. Depends how desperately you need that hat, I guess. Like, is it a “I’m having a crisis and need to hide my face” kind of day? Then maybe, yeah, splurge on the shipping.
And then you got Neiman Marcus with the whole “Men’s Balenciaga Cap” situation. Okay, so, are we saying these are *exclusively* for dudes? I don’t think so. Fashion is fashion, right? Who cares about labels? If I like it, I wear it. End of story. Seriously, don’t let some marketing department tell you what to do.
Harrods, bless their fancy little hearts, is always tempting with their “complimentary UK delivery.” But honestly, sometimes I just get lost on their website. So much stuff! And the prices? Good lord. That “Small Leather Le City Top-Handle Bag” for £1,750? Yikes. I’d rather just… you know… buy a *bunch* of second-hand hats.
