Made in China – The Illusion of Luxury
"The absurd is born in the world of thought when logic can no longer account for reality." – Henri Bergson
What is real? What is an illusion? In a world where we wrap ourselves in the comfort of labels, where we chase after the mirage of exclusivity, there exists a truth so blatant, so absurd, that few dare to acknowledge it: everything is made in China. Even luxury. Even desire. Even these shoes.
Made in China is not a shoe; it is a paradox. A whisper of transparency, a caress of air and mystery, delicately caged in an intricate python print. The sheer mesh vanishes against the skin, a second breath, a promise of weightlessness. The laces—painstakingly threaded through the fabric of deception—hold everything together, as if to keep a secret locked between the curves of the foot and the towering elegance of the heel.
These heels are a masterclass in illusion. The world may believe they were handcrafted in Italy, born from the fingertips of an ancient artisan in a hidden Parisian workshop, or delicately assembled in the golden streets of New York. But the truth? The truth is that luxury is a game of perception, an elaborate dance where reality is the last thing that matters.
Because logic tells you that a luxury shoe should come from an exclusive atelier. But reality? Reality laughs in the face of logic. Reality tells you that these very same hands, the ones that construct couture dreams, are the same that stitch the fabric of the world’s most extravagant delusions. And yet, we play along. We pay the price—not for the shoe, but for the story.
So why hesitate? Why resist? Slip your foot into Made in China and embrace the absurdity. Accept that nothing is what it seems, and that perhaps, just perhaps, that is the very definition of luxury.
