Finding the “best batch” implies you’re looking at replicas, doesn’t it? I mean, if you’re buying from Fendi directly, you’re getting the *actual* Fendi batch, no? Unless…are they secretly running different quality batches? Conspiracy! (Okay, probably not. But imagine!).
So, let’s assume we’re talking dupes. The thing is, “best” is totally subjective. What’s “best” to you? Closest to the real thing? Cheapest? Most durable? Most likely to fool your rich aunt at Thanksgiving? These are crucial questions, people!
Honestly, sifting through all those links is gonna give you a headache. You’ll see the official stuff, sure, but then you’ll stumble on sites promising “wholesale” deals that are probably too good to be true. Rule of thumb: if it sounds too good, it probably IS.
The “CNFANS SPREADSHEET”…that’s the key, isn’t it? I bet it’s a crowd-sourced list of sellers, with ratings and reviews. But be warned! Those reviews might be biased, or even fake. It’s the Wild West of replica fashion, baby!
My personal opinion? (And you asked for it!) Just buy a nice, stylish hat that *isn’t* trying to be Fendi. You’ll save a ton of money, you won’t have to worry about getting called out for wearing a fake, and you’ll probably find something that actually suits you better. Plus, you’ll avoid the whole ethical dilemma of supporting the replica industry.
