The camellia series was also a limited edition from O'Hara this season, but it wasn't as well-known as the petite luxe collection Zelena had chosen.
The reason was simple.
Firstly, the camellia series wasn't sold in Auratia this season, so it wasn't popular domestically.
Its style was more elegant and grand, favored by royalty like the Wiltonshire duchess and Irene, who had specially arranged to have it brought from abroad. It exuded a low-key, luxurious, and restrained charm.
Secondly, the petite luxe collection had been overused by influencers on social media, with everyone claiming it made them look like true socialites. There were numerous knock-offs online, and it had been hyped up excessively.
The petite luxe collection that Zelena liked had also been sent to the White residence, but Irene found it too common and didn't choose it, leaving the camellia series for Violeta.
Violeta hadn't worn it yet, and giving it to Zelena was actually a win for her.
But it was just a dress, and Violeta didn't mind giving it away to get rid of bad luck.
...
When the servant brought the dress, Violeta was still in class.
So, the servant took it to the office and asked the advisor to give it to Violeta.
After class, the advisor came to the classroom.
"Violeta, your dress has arrived."
"Okay."
Violeta went up, took the dress, and handed it to Zelena, who was sitting in the front row.
The original O'Hara packaging bag had been discarded, and the servant had used a plain white bag, which didn't look as fancy as the boutique's gift box.
However, the bag was no less prestigious because it was an exclusive O'Hara membership bag. Many bloggers even used it as a fashion accessory, calling it the most expensive bag from O'Hara.
Only top-tier members received this bag, making it a status symbol of wealth. So, this simple bag was enough to determine whether someone was truly affluent.
"Here's your replacement," Violeta said, putting the bag down and walking towards the back of the classroom.
Zelena hesitated, but before she could speak, Hattie sneered, "What kind of bag is this? Did you dig it out of the trash?"
Candy added, "Yeah, what good stuff could be in that bag? Violeta, you ruined Lena's limited edition outfit. That jacket alone cost over 4,000 dollars. Do you even understand what a limited edition is?"
