Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

If your shoes cost $3000 and walking ruins them, maybe that's on you.

They make swimsuits that are dry clean only, so shoes you can't actually walk in doesn't surprise me.

Shit like that being dry clean only is just a designer being lazy. If you ruin it washing it that’s on you type of bs. If you take it to a dry cleaner they will wash it in a washing machine.

I don’t think a really good designer brand is doing that.

I think the point here is that you're going to be wearing it in the water even though it's "dry clean only."

My guess is that these "swimsuits" are not expected to go into the water at all, only to be shown off on photo shoots and lounging around the pool.
