Shoes! What else could it be? This was, by far, the nicest shoe box I had ever seen. Thick, durable, yet pleasantly pliable board made up the box. Small 'G's were embossed on it like scales on an alligator, layering over themselves to create the shoes' armor. In a velvet bag were the literal keys to the online store.
I don't lie. So much care was put into creating the most optimal unboxing experience. When I could bear to snap the ribbon, I found there were more branded trinkets inside the box.
When I sent the shoes back, I decided to keep the horn. I thought it was humorous. I don't think Gucci intended that jest, but the cheap plastic was in suck ironic contrast with the surroundings that I let out multiple chortles. After all of this time, I decided to gaze upon the shoes that have been so long in the coming. How gorgeous would they be?
Not very, was the answer. These were the wrong shoes! I had not ordered, our intended to order, the boots you see on the screen! In shape, they were the same, but instead of that disgusting branded patter splayed along the side were lovely (and tasteful) diamonds. I was crushed. In revulsion, I sent them back. Now these pictures are all I have left of the lovely packaging. And the cheap shoehorn. If that is not a metaphor, then I don't know what is.
