“Day 24 Should Have Been A Full Refund!”: The Internet Slams Dior After Woman Shows What’s Inside Their $3,500 Advent Calendar

Content creator Jackie Aina has unboxed Dior’s $3,500 La Collection Privée Trunk of Dreams calendar on TikTok, giving her followers a glimpse of what’s behind the doors.

The advent calendar features 24 drawers, designed to look just like the iconic Dior boutique at 30 Avenue Montaigne in Paris.

While the astronomical price makes you think they’d be in for something luxurious, people have been underwhelmed with the results, calling the contents “weak” and “an insult” to the customers.

After Aina opened the first 11 drawers, she told her audience that, “It is what it is, but it ain’t that great.”

And it didn’t get any better as the days went on.

Literally states all the contents on the website prior to purchase. The only surprise is that she read it and proceeded with the purchase.

Literally the only point of making stuff super expensive is as a status symbol. It's not better, it's not better made, it's literally just I have this and you know how much I spent on it. Aren't I awesome for spending a lot of money? And the rest of us don't want to hear you complain about it.

As someone who makes cosmetics, it's awful how so many brands rip people off when there isn't even anything that expensive in the product. You are paying for the brand name on the label, and that's it. Fragrances I can understand costing more because they are made with complex aromatics and some do cost a pretty penny.

They are sold for $45 separate from the $145 candle! It's insane
