Transcript
Anthropologie I fear you've lost the plot. You're joking. $78 and $68 for necklaces that I could get off Amazon or Shein for $10 is ridiculous, and I don’t wanna hear about quality or weight because they paid probably three dollars a necklace to manufacture these. And they’re not even a long-term piece of jewelry. They’re a trendy piece of jewelry that won’t be in style in two years.
