Saks OFF 5TH, eh? That’s what the internet snippet says, anyway. Listen, Saks OFF 5TH is like… the outlet mall of Saks. Think slightly-last-season, maybe a tiny scratch here or there (but hopefully not!), and *potentially* a decent discount. Up to 70% off, they say. Now, don’t get *too* excited. “Up to” is the key phrase. You’re probably not gonna find a brand-new Zippy wallet for, like, twenty bucks. Let’s be real.
But, seriously, that Lou wallet they mentioned? “Lou is the new bifold wallet that unites compact dimensions and substantial capacity…” Okay, marketing speak aside, a bifold is usually a good choice if you want something not *too* bulky. And the Monogram canvas with colorful leather? Actually sounds kinda cute. I’m picturing maybe a bright pink or a sunshine yellow accent. I dig it.
The thing is, with “cheap” Louis Vuitton… you gotta be careful. There are SO many fakes out there. If the deal seems too good to be true, it probably IS. And honestly, even at Saks OFF 5TH, you’re probably still gonna be dropping a decent chunk of change. Is it *really* worth it to get a slightly-less-than-perfect LV wallet when you could get a really *nice* wallet from another brand for the same price (or less!)? Hmmm. Food for thought.
Personally, I’m kinda on the fence about this whole thing. On one hand, I get the allure of the LV. On the other, I’m like… is it *really* about the brand, or do I just need a functional and aesthetically pleasing wallet? Maybe I should just hit up Etsy and support a small business, y’know? They probably have some super cute leather wallets with unique designs.
