What Gen Zers actually bought this week #003
Welcome back to another edition of…what Gen Zers actually bought this week, feat. boots-on-the-ground reporting from the Selleb app.
We've collectively transformed into consumer detectives. Each purchase is now a multi-step investigation that would make FBI profilers look casual. Reddit threads are consulted. Spreadsheets are created. Group chats are activated like emergency response teams. Why the intel obsession? Because we want to nail it the first time. We want to minimize ordering pieces that look great in stock photos but turn out to be more like straightjackets (or burlap sacks) made of regret and poor sizing choices. Also, we love discovering new things, ideas, and hacks before they hit the mainstream. And ngl, the reviews and anecdotes behind the purchases also keep us chuckling…
This week, we’re talking best matchas, the most expensive “single-serve” yogurt known to mankind, nostalgia premiums, TikTok tax (again, sigh), and other culture/style-forward fashion items that are inspiring/surprising/all-of-the-above?

Burgundy bags and accessories. We knew burgundy had a moment, but it seems that the flame is still burning strong.
