‘Tis the season for extravagant and obscenely expensive advent calendars.
Despite haute couture getting into the festive spirit, beauty lovers are fuming after another disappointment from a major fashion house, slamming Dior’s pricey advent calendar.
TikToker Jackie Aina has been seen unboxing the $3,500 La Collection Privée Trunk of Dreams calendar on TikTok, giving her followers a glimpse of what’s behind each door.
While it should be a luxe experience, the 35-year-old and her followers have been less-than-impressed with what she’s uncovered so far, with the make-up guru describing the contents as “weak” and “an insult” to the customers.
“So far it is what is is,” Aina said on the twelfth day of unboxing the so-called designer gifts. “It ain’t that great.”
The advent calendar features 24 drawers, designed to look just like the iconic Dior boutique at 30 Avenue Montaigne in Paris
“Much more than an Advent calendar, this marvelous, miniature universe is ready to welcome your precious objects and elevate your interior,” the description on the website reads.
So far, the popular influencer has received miniature soaps, a coaster, sample-sized fragrances — which, the TikToker pointed-out, comes free with full-sized purchases anyway — and a scented candle.
But the prize value had plummeted by day six, when she unboxed what appears to be a lid to the candle. One follower summed it up as “deeply offensive.”
“I swear these luxury brands be SO stingy,” another claimed.
“Door 24 better be a refund,” joked one critic.
One viewer put her reaction bluntly while throwing shade at one mall mainstay. “I was expecting really nice jewelry or accessories of some sort. This is looking like a bath and body works advent calendar box.”
In 2021, influencers slammed a number of designers for their lame advent calendars featuring subpar gifts. Chanel’s, which cost $750 included just temporary tattoos and stickers.
