Ugh, throwback to the Juicy sweats 😭
When I was in Grade 9, what I wanted most—more than good grades or even the affection of a super popular skater boy —was a pair of Tommy Hilfiger overalls with the brand’s logo emblazoned on the straps. Destiny’s Child had rocked the look two years earlier, so I was a bit late to the trend… but I was in love. There was just one problem: they cost, like, $200 so when I *oh so casually* floated the idea past my parents, already knowing the answer but unable to resist trying, I got a hard “no.
“If an illegal knock-off was the only way I was going to get a Von Dutch hat, I was willing to accept it” But in 2004, when I was 14, I couldn’t afford a Von Dutch trucker hat. They cost upwards of $45 , which was a lot of dough for someone whose only income was babysitting for $5 an hour. I begged my mom for one, but she thought their price tag was outrageous and refused to spend her hard-earned dollars on a cap made mostly of mesh. She did, however, offer a solution: she would pay $20 for a knockoff camo print one that her friend found at a convenience store in a sketchy strip mall.
