I bought some of the basic Mama chino pants for like what, $80, two years ago? I had seen Marissa a bunch at parks around and she seemed cool and genuine. I think she was getting flowed NB# at the time. Anyways, I thought it was a cool little effort to support, made in USA, and was worth trying out at least to see if they worked for me.
Gotta say, I wasn't impressed by the build quality. Stitching was inconsistent and no double stitching where you need it, no bar tacks or rivets. They fit weird and blew out pretty quick. The material felt like a stretch woven I could buy by the yard on clearance at Joann Fabric.
Looking at the pics of that pant and the new versions on the website, it looks like they haven't updated the material or the build quality.
Calling these Luxury and charging 18x the price I paid two years ago is beyond dumb. It proves that she's of her rocker a bit. She's in a less far-reaching type of the echo chamber influencers find themselves in... where these cornballs go by their kinda lame instagram handles, think literally anything they do is cool and groundbreaking, and no one keeps them in check. It's the Only Fans trickle-down, "pay me" is the mantra because they have an only mildly defendable sense of self-worth. Illusions of Grandeur, I believe is what Marissa and her sister have.
