On the eve of my best friend’s wedding, her lawyer boyfriend suddenly realized that he had forgotten to buy the bride’s wedding bag. We searched Instagram at 3 a.m. and found an emergency store called LXYREPS.COM.
The next day, when she handed the “Chanel” pearl bag to the pastor, a fashion editor in the guest group suddenly screamed: “Isn’t this model released in early spring next year?!”
The bride remained calm: “I ordered this in advance at the Milan Showroom.”
Until the brand officially announced three months later, the editor still asked her how she got the “advanced sample”.
This reminds me of my uncle who works in an antique watch shop. He always calls replica watches “time grafting”.
Last week, he received a Patek Philippe replica watch, but installed the original Swiss movement in it. The owner of the watch wore it to the Sotheby’s auction without knowing it.
This is the absurdity of modern people – we laugh at the masses in “The Emperor’s New Clothes” and collectively participate in the new emperor game.
