So, I’ve been digging around online (procrastinating, more like it), and it seems like the magic words here are “Tax Free shopping” and “VAT refund.” Apparently, if you’re a diplomat, you’re basically living the dream when it comes to getting your VAT back. I’m not a diplomat, sadly, but hey, a girl can dream of diplomatic immunity AND a discounted Chloé wallet, right?
FARFETCH seems to be throwing around the “Tax Free shopping” term a lot, especially when you’re eyeing up those Marcie and Alphabet wallets. And free returns? Come ON. That’s practically begging me to impulse buy. They’re also mentioning express delivery, which, honestly, is key. Waiting for that little leather piece of heaven? Ain’t nobody got time for that!
Now, *The Outnet* is saying something about deals on Chloé wallets and “SLGs.” I had to Google that (Small Leather Goods, duh). They’re promising discounted designer goodies. Discounted Chloé? Where do I sign?! I’m always looking for a bargain – even on designer stuff, lol. Gotta be budget-conscious, even when you’re trying to look bougie.
ShopStyle is boasting over 660 wallets…SIX HUNDRED AND SIXTY! That’s overwhelming, but also kinda awesome. And cash back? I’m a sucker for cash back. It’s like getting paid to shop! Plus, sale alerts? Yes, please. My bank account is already weeping.
Nordstrom is in the mix too, offering a “great selection.” They’re throwing in wristlets and zip pouches for good measure. And mentioning MCM and Fendi? Okay, Nordstrom, you’re playing dirty. Now I’m distracted by *other* designer wallets. The struggle is real.
Saks OFF 5TH says up to 70% off? 70%!?!? Are you KIDDING ME? That’s insane. That’s like, almost free. (Okay, not really, but still!). Fast shipping too? This is getting dangerous for my credit card.
Okay, okay, so how does the whole tax-free thing actually *work*? Well, from what I can gather (and I’m no tax expert, mind you!), it depends on where you live and where you’re shopping. Some places offer VAT refunds to tourists, so if you’re visiting Europe, for example, you might be able to claim back the VAT on your Chloé wallet when you leave. But don’t quote me on that, do your research!
