Exploring the Benefits of Luxury Brands Drop-Shipping for E-Commerce Entrepreneurs

In the world of e-commerce, selling luxury goods is an attractive way to target high-end consumers. However, the cost of inventory, storage, and logistics can be daunting for new business owners. That's where luxury brands drop-shipping comes in. This innovative business model allows entrepreneurs to sell premium products without the financial burden of stocking inventory or managing fulfillment. Here, we’ll explore how luxury brands drop-shipping works and why it’s an appealing option for starting a high-end e-commerce business.

 Key Benefits of Luxury Brands Drop-Shipping

 1. Low Startup Costs

One of the major advantages of luxury brands drop-shipping is the minimal upfront investment. Traditional retail businesses require a substantial investment in inventory, which can be especially expensive when dealing with high-end luxury products. With drop-shipping, you don’t need to purchase the products until a customer places an order, significantly reducing the financial risk. This allows you to enter the luxury market without the need for substantial capital.

 2. Access to High-End Products

With luxury brands drop-shipping, you gain access to a wide variety of premium products from established luxury brands. This is particularly advantageous for entrepreneurs who may not have the necessary connections or resources to negotiate wholesale deals with top-tier luxury manufacturers. You can offer authentic, branded products to your customers, enhancing your store’s credibility and appeal.

 3. No Inventory Management or Storage

Managing inventory can be one of the most challenging aspects of running a retail business. However, with drop-shipping, you don’t need to worry about storing or maintaining physical stock. Your supplier takes care of inventory management, ensuring that your store is always updated with accurate stock levels and that products are shipped directly to customers when orders are placed. This simplifies operations and allows you to focus on other aspects of the business.

 4. Scalability and Flexibility

As your business grows, luxury brands drop-shipping offers unparalleled scalability. Since the supplier handles storage and fulfillment, there’s no need to invest in additional warehouse space or hire extra staff. You can add new products or expand your offerings without worrying about the logistics of managing increased inventory. The flexibility of drop-shipping makes it easier to test new products and adapt to changing market demands.

 Conclusion

Luxury brands drop-shipping provides a practical and efficient way for entrepreneurs to break into the high-end fashion and luxury goods market. With low startup costs, access to premium products, and the freedom from inventory management, this business model allows you to run a successful luxury e-commerce store with minimal risk and hassle. By partnering with trusted suppliers, you can offer high-quality, authentic luxury goods to your customers and grow your brand in the ever-expanding luxury market.

1935 Duesenberg SJ Gurney-Nutting Speedster

The Speedster body was fitted to chassis number 2614, which is believed to be the last Duesenberg chassis produced in 1935. The body was designed by A. F. McNeil and built by J. Gurney Nutting & Co. Ltd. in the fashionable Chelsea district in London. 

The one-of-a-kind luxury automobile was built for Maharaja Holkar of Indore, India and commissioned through a British sales agent R.S.M Automobiles Ltd of London. 

Destined for a life of royalty, the Gurney Nutting Speedster was built with unique, lavish features including a rumble seat with a concealed fold-down step built into the sides of the body for easy access, as well as red and blue lights on the front fender to indicate whether the Maharaja (red) or Maharani (blue) was driving the vehicle.

Upon its completion, the Duesenberg was delivered to the Maharaja’s mansion in Santa Ana, California due to fears of Japan invading India. After the tension in the region dropped, the automobile was shipped to India, then disappearing over time and thought to be lost until its rediscovery in 1959. 

The outstanding auto was brought back to the U.S., eventually acquired by General Lyon. Restored with all of its royal touches retained, the 1935 Duesenberg placed first in the Maharaja Class at the 2012 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance and will now be showcased at the 2019 La Jolla Concours d’Elegance under the Registered Class: American Classics Open (1920-1948).

This year, online communities drove news cycles about everything from moldy Lunchable knock-offs and the death of a squirrel named Peanut to the 2024 US election.

More often than not, the internet has been the progenitor of movements, changes, and trends in the real, physical world. As we close out 2024, I wanted to fill you in on some of the online communities I’m keeping an eye on and how they may influence culture, politics, and public health around the world.

Let’s talk about them.

What’s on My 2025 Internet Radar

There is not enough time in the world for me to list all of the absurd subreddits, Discord chats, and TikTok communities I follow to get a sense of how the conversations everyday people are having are influencing our politics. But I wanted to at least list a few that have been top-of-mind for me recently.

Beauty and Fashion TikTok

Going into the new year, I’m most interested in seeing trends that emerge out of the beauty and lifestyle communities on TikTok and Instagram. In a previous newsletter, I wrote about how themes like “quiet luxury” and “old money” aesthetics on TikTok signaled a Trump win long before polls ever opened. And already, I’ve noticed conservative backsliding in these spaces with Trump’s return to power.

For The Atlantic this week, Kaitlyn Tiffany wrote about how “edtwt” (eating disorder Twitter) is growing on X now that Elon Musk has eradicated any form of trust and safety on the platform. I’ve noticed an uptick in “thinspo”—imagery that encourages unhealthy body images and disordered eating—on TikTok as well. There’s the usual Olsen twin obsession and extremely low-calorie diet plans circulating on the platform, but that content has traditionally been holed away from the generic TikTok user.

Now, my feed is filled with popular beauty influencers giving “health” advice that amounts to disordered eating. The Make America Healthy Again community, or what is essentially a Robert F. Kennedy Jr. fandom, is filled with junk science that goes as far as saying vegetables are toxic. I’m afraid that the same conservative cultural conformity that helped reelect Trump could revive the disordered eating trends that have hurt so many women and girls and return them to the mainstream.

Elon Musk Fandom

As an unelected official, Musk has only ever had three groups of people to hold him accountable for anything—shareholders, fanboys, and maybe, sometimes the government.

For the most part, the first two believe Musk can do no wrong. Throughout the presidential campaign, many of Trump’s most ardent fans joined the Musk fandom as well, lessening the odds that the government will be subjecting him and his businesses to scrutiny anytime soon. But these Trump fans will always support him before anyone else, even if the other person is the president-elect’s “first buddy.”

Since taking over X, they’ve demonstrated that well enough. Some of the few times Musk has walked back decisions have involved Trump fans expressing disappointment that Musk hasn’t acted like a true Trump fan himself. When Musk suggested that he wouldn’t reinstate banned pro-Trump accounts without them being reviewed by a “council,” Twitter elder Catturd bullied the billionaire into skipping the review process altogether.

Inevitably, more of these situations will pop up under the Trump administration, and I’m curious to see if any of Musk’s supporters end up jumping ship.

Drop-shippers

The act of drop-shipping—third-party sellers filling retail orders—exploded in popularity in the late 2010s, becoming a quintessential part of online hustle culture. With the introduction of the TikTok Shop, drop-shipping has entered a renaissance of sorts, with more and more people using the app to make quick cash that can scale.

Placing tough tariffs on Chinese imports was one of Trump’s biggest economic promises this election cycle. If TikTok isn’t banned come next month, Chinese tariffs could ruin the app’s drop-shipping profitability, since a majority of the product manufacturing is done overseas. What happens to the drop-shippers? Where do they go next?

The New Jersey Drone Hunters

Without much guidance or information from the government, conspiracy theories surrounding the mystery drones supposedly hovering over the eastern seaboard have gotten out of control. Just this week, Real Housewives star Bethenny Frankel posted a series of Instagram videos claiming to have a secret Pentagon source who told her that the drones are searching for nuclear material.

Now, I’m not claiming to know the truth about the drones, but I can see what it’s doing to people online. For the past few weeks, I’ve been monitoring one of the largest Facebook pages dedicated to solving the mystery, and what started as a place for folks to share their strange sightings has devolved into hysteria. Members are accusing the mods of working for the Feds of hiding the “truth” (whatever that is) and encouraging others to invest in iodine pills, gas masks, and, of course, toilet paper.

It’s too early to tell, but I’d bet that these groups are introducing already emotional and agitated people to theories they otherwise wouldn’t believe in. Is this what the alien and UAP communities have been waiting for? Maybe! In any event, don’t expect the faithful to believe anything the government says unless someone lays an alien corpse down in front of photographers.

ZARINA ZARATE - - - - - *.⊹₊‧

"two parts sunflower seed & a dash of moonflower."

GENERAL –

full name:  zarina zarate.

nicknames:  z.

age:  twenty-eight.

gender:  cis female.

species:  fairy.

eye color:  hazel.

hair color: brown.

height: five feet, three inches.

date of birth:  october twenty-seventh .

occupation:  peddler.

positive traits: passionate. clever. resourceful. curious. adventurous. creative.

negative traits: sneaky. distrusting. reckless. feisty. self-serving. thievish. crafty.

HEADCANONS –

Zarina’s pixie dust alchemy has combined with human chemistry upon getting trapped in Evermore. What she’s been focused on as of late is trying to find a way to create more pixie dust, whether synthetic or pure. Maybe even blue pixie dust! She only has so much left of her supply from Pixie Hollow… but she’ll be damned to let her passion trickle out when she’s come so far. 

Most fairies have their reservations of the ocean to some degree, other large bodies of water included. Zarina wasn’t any different. Wet wings made for a downed fairy, and in extreme conditions the loss of their wings entirely. But of course, Zarina being Zarina, she had her curiosities about the sea. She daydreamed about what all could be dwelling in such intense, expanse oceans and trenches. Mermaids. Monsters. Magic? Maybe. Eventually the water grew on her after running away from Pixie Hollow and spending so much time on ships and boats. Now she seeks it out when in need of peace or inspiration. 

Zarina has always been very independent and more than comfortable with her own company. However, her severe trust issues and growing loneliness are at a constant war inside her mind. Not to mention that she’s always in survival mode. The other fairies seem to have grown accustomed to Evermore, getting cozy and building a life. Zarina doesn’t really have that luxury. Stealing things just to get by typically burns bridges before she can build them. She’s learned to keep her talents to herself since people have only ever used her or thrown her to the curb because of them.

Did you know crows bring “gifts” to people who share morsels of food and kindness with them? Zarina does. Crows are misunderstood creatures, just like her. They’re also probably the purest friends she currently has. Zarina regularly feeds the crows that loiter outside of her very small apartment. Occasionally they bring her gifts. “little treasures” as she prefers to call them. Dropped coins, lost earrings, small pebbles, etc. She keeps the more interesting items in a little box under her bed. One time a crow even brought her a one-hundred dollar bill… that was a really good week for her. 

Zarina often adds little braids into her hard-to-tame lion’s mane. Sometimes she even weaves in little feathers, charms, hair cuffs or whatever else catches her fancy. Scarves and bandanas are also very common. But beware: if Zarina asks to borrow a hair tie, you’re not getting it back. More than likely she’ll accidentally snap it before you remember to ask for it back. Be gentle with her though, it’s not her fault. Blame her hair. 

This girl is super crafty and creative in more ways than one. In the traditional sense, Zarina without fail customizes and personalizes a lotttt of her things. Her favorite is her lab coat and smock. Whenever she has free time, Zarina will add some scrappy embroidery to the fabric or glue sea glass to the edges. In the less traditional sense, while she hates all of their guts, she learned a lot from the crew that betrayed her. Pickpocketing, sneaking around, resourcefulness, fashioning a good lie and even knowing how to work a knife. Well, sort of. She has surprisingly great aim.

Zarina is a big tea girl. Earl Grey is her favorite, but she loves coffee, too. Like many other people, she'll turn to flavored, espresso based drinks when she's looking for an extra kick of caffeine as long as they're not too sweet. Zarina isn't a huge fan of sweet coffee, but she always munches on candy when working in her little makeshift lab. When it comes to alcohol, Z bounces around between rum and cokes, whiskey and bourbon. It's also not uncommon finding her turning to weed when she's stressed or her brain won't shut off.

Fic Idea, FREE TO GOOD HOME!

(I was gonna throw this up here with no tags to ensure that no one would read it, might orphan later, idk)

Summary: Earth is not livable anymore. The plan was to just get the family off world and safe. Bruce was content to die in Gotham. Bruce wanted to die in Gotham. The family had other ideas.

When the ship became unusable, the plan changed to just getting them into the escape pod. Bruce was content to die alone on the ship. Bruce still wanted to die. Again, the family had other ideas.

Fic under the cut:

This was not the death Bruce planned for himself.

Sitting alone on an empty spaceship. The failed life-support making it a race between the freezing cold and the lack of oxygen to see which would kill him first.

Bruce planned to die in Gotham.

Ideally, Bruce would have liked to be gunned down in the same alley his parents died in. There was a kind of narrative symmetry to it. To end his story in the same way, in the same place it began. Like bookends. Batman was born from two bullets in a filthy alley, that was how he wanted to die.

With a grunt, Bruce gathered his blanket tighter around him. The quickly dropping temperature was going to win the race to kill him. Bruce already knew. After he sent Dick away with the others, there was no one left he needed to share air with. There might even be some breathable oxygen left long after Bruce’s frozen corpse was mummified by the ship’s dry air.

He glanced at his watch.

It wasn’t even one of the ones he liked. It was some fancy, artisan, luxury timepiece he only had because Brucie Wayne was expected to wear the hottest fashion items, and keep up with the trends. Bruce only took it with him because he was wearing it when Alfred knocked him out to make sure Bruce left Earth with the kids.

The watch was still set to Eastern Standard Time; it was still set to Gotham’s time.

In Gotham the time was a few minutes past 3:30 in the afternoon. Damian would be just getting out from school. Alfred would be sitting in traffic on his way to pick him up. Tim would be in his office at Wayne Enterprises, but his attention for work would be flagging and he’d be watching fan vids for whatever game was his new hyper-fixation on his office computer. Dick would be swinging by the clock tower with afternoon coffee for Barbara, maybe they’d make dinner together before Oracle parked herself in front of her monitor array and Nightwing hit the streets.

Bruce shivered and wondered what Alfred was doing right now. Without Damian to pick up from school. Or Tim to remind to eat and drink water. Or Bruce to… manage.

Alfred was supposed to be the one to escape with the family. Bruce planned to die in Gotham. Bruce wanted to die in Gotham.

He glanced at his watch again and waited for the freezing cold to take him. Bruce never really decided if he believed in an ‘afterlife’ or not, but if such a thing did exist, it would be nice to see his parents again.

…

When Bruce woke, he wondered if he was dead and there was an afterlife.

And it was boring!

He was enveloped in warm energy. Almost as if he were floating in a pool, except the pool was full of light not water. It seeped into his skin and chased away the hypothermia. He inhaled and his lungs filled with oxygen. The pain in his joints was almost gone and old injuries seemed not to bother him as much anymore.

But his parents weren’t there. Neither was Jason. If an afterlife were real, it should include them. If his afterlife had him alone, floating in a (admittedly comfortable) void, then Bruce did not want it. He would choose his own afterlife. One that did include Thomas and Martha, and Jason.

Bruce began to struggle, trying to propel himself somehow in this void of warm light.

Somewhere, on the other side of the light, someone said something in a language Bruce did not understand. Some exclamation of alarm.

“What’s happening? What’s wrong?” That sounded like Dick’s voice.

“It appears he has regained consciousness and is rejecting the healing matrix.” Answered the first voice, now speaking English.

“Ugh. Of course he is.” That sounded like Tim.

Were they just on the other side of the light? Could he get to them?

“May I have permission to sedate him?” Asked the unknown voice.

“Will it be safe for a human?” Dick asked.

At the exact same time that Tim very decisively barked, “Do it.”

Then everything went blank again.

…

When he woke again, Bruce was laying in a bed.

Soft plush sheets over a firm mattress. Luxurious in a way that conveyed wealth, very similar to what Bruce had in his own bedroom at Wayne Manor.

He stared up at the unfamiliar ceiling. Blue and white and glassy, like ice. Or crystal. Not any kind of architecture he was familiar with. An alien ceiling.

What fresh hell did he just wake up to?

No sooner had this question crossed his mind, then the door opened; the crystal of the wall sliding away.

Moving quickly, Bruce rolled out of the bed, placing the mattress between him and the door as cover. He peered over it to see what entered. What kind of captor was holding him?

It was Dick.

Dick walked through the door. Closely followed by Tim and Damian, and a small hovering robot of an alien design Bruce was unfamiliar with.

“I think he’s feeling better.” Dick laughed.

Bruce paused. If Dick felt safe enough to joke around… but then, Dick always could laugh down even the most dire of situation, Bruce looked to Tim and Damian for cues.

Their expressions were unreadable.

That’s not to say they were impassive or guarded, but that there was so much going on, on their faces that it was impossible to decipher.

Damian looked annoyed mostly, which was also his resting expression. But underneath that was a conflicted apprehension. Like he was waiting to learn the terrible price of Bruce being saved. Of all his children, Bruce assumed Damian would adjust to leaving Earth the fastest, since he was so young and (presumably) adaptable. But Damian cycled through so many emotions in their time in space that Bruce just did not know where his son landed in this situation.

Tim mostly looked satisfied. Also resigned and at peace, but mostly satisfied. He did something. Whatever it was, Tim got his desired result. Now he was prepared to face the outcome of that action.

The thing that was now strange about Tim were his clothes.

Since living on a spaceship for some time, they each at some point all gave up on both regular clothes and vigilante uniforms. All of them had been living in their pajamas for months. Bruce was used to seeing Tim in sweat shorts and an oversized tee-shirt. When the ship’s life-support failed and Bruce sent them away in the escape pod to the nearest planet, they were all wearing their uniforms. Tim had been wearing his Red Robin costume.

Now, Tim was dressed in a layered fabric, draped over a skintight body suit. On his chest, framed by the layered drapes of the fabric was a shield, like a triangle with two corners cut off to make it a pentagon. Filling the pentagonal shield was what looked remarkably like the letter S.

Calmer now, Bruce stood from behind the bed. “Brief me on the situation.”

Dick opened his mouth to begin his report.

But Tim was faster.

“Our status is overall positive.” Tim began. He was using his clinical detective voice, making him sound detached from the situation. Unaffected by it. No big deal.

Which told Bruce that whatever he’s woken up to, for Tim at least, it was a very big deal.

“This planet is called ‘Krypton’ -yes, like the noble gas- and it’s atmosphere is close enough to Earth’s that we can breath comfortably.” Tim continued. “The locals are also humanoid in appearance, nearly indistinguishable from us, actually. When we landed, the first responders thought we were some of their own and tried to help us.”

“They figured out real quick that we were aliens the moment we spoke.” Dick cut in. “Apparently, the whole planet speaks one language and the moment we started speaking English they realized we’re not from around here. Krypton has an isolationist policy. They’ve achieved space travel more advanced than our own, but they don’t even talk to their next closest neighbor in the same system. After they realized we were off-worlders there was kinda only a couple of guys left who were willing to help us.”

“But you don’t have to worry.” Tim said quickly. “I managed to cut a deal that would allow us to stay here, andwe were able to go back and save you.”

Bruce did not want to be saved. “Thanks.”

“Absurd!” Damian shouted. “They’re both being absurd! Father you have to stop this! Drake didn’t ‘cut a deal’, he sold himself!”

“What!?” Bruce’s eyes snapped back to Tim, giving his strange alien clothes a more critical examination.

“Damian!” Dick reprimanded. “He just woke up! Don’t confuse him!”

“It’s not confusing!” Damian continued to shout at all of them. “Drake bartered himself as a bride for that idiot-“

“You’re misrepresenting facts!” Tim cut him off. “And Kon-El’s not an idiot.” Back in that clinical and detached tone, Tim clarified: “I got married.”

Bruce just stared at him.

Tim placed a hand to the pentagonal shield on his chest. “Instead of wedding rings, people wear the glyph of the House they’ve married into- the, uh, family crest -this is pronounced ‘el’ which is their word for ‘star’, but spelled this way with an S in the middle instead of a figure-8, it also means ‘hope’, which is one of their virtues.”

Tim was giving too much unnecessary information because he was nervous, unsure of Bruce’s reaction to the news of his marriage.

There was a beat.

Bruce looked down at his watch to see what time it was in Gotham.

CH 16: Kinos

AN: Wyrdstone is a serial fantasy novel updating every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday here on Tumblr. Wyrdstone is a good ol' fashioned rivals fighting for the throne TM. With magic. And gods. And world building. And the gayz. Did I mention the gayz? Speaking gayz, enjoy:

XVI. KINOS 

Sugia Territory lay immediately west of Aegtrys. The fertile hills were home to the goddess Inusgi, and her farmland overflowed with barley, rye, wheat, and cereal. A part of the Ashenian Empire for nearly a thousand years, Sugia’s bosom would have sustained the Empire for hundreds more. These days, the Sugians enjoyed Ashenian citizenship, a luxury not shared by all, and the privileges that went with it. Their men could govern in Aegtrys, trade with foreign ships, and march under the Ashenian falcon to all corners of the continent. At this point, the Sugians viewed themselves as Ashenian as the islanders did themselves. 

So it was no surprise that Admrilia could hear the cheers from miles out before they had even reached Kinos’ harbor. Across the first neptor, the men hastened to prepare for their arrival. Admrilia knew the neptori would be eager to get ashore and be released into the streets. 

“It’s good to be home.” Flavius said beside her. 

“Will you visit your parents?” Admrilia asked her friend. 

The neptori’s smile reached his grass green eyes. “Oh yes.” 

“And you?” 

Alexandros patted Flavius’ back. “I’d sooner die than miss his mother’s cooking.” The stocky sailor laughed. “You should join us Argenti, unless of course you are too good for us.” 

Amdrilia knew she shouldn’t tolerate such talk from her subordinates, but it had always been different with Flavius and Alexandros. They had been trained together since seven. She trusted the pair with her life. Both had stood loyally by her side after what had transpired in Argyro. She trusted Alexandros and Flavius more than her own father, and she was thankful they had been promoted as her personal guard for the triumph. 

She smiled slightly. “It’s only food.”

“No Argenti!” Alexandros sounded aghast. “Mama Dulcia is touched by Inusgi herself.” 

Flavius and Adrmilia shared an eye roll. Her lips threatened to quirk upward. “Save me something if he doesn’t eat it all. Now quiet, we're almost there.” 

The Sugian Governor awaited them at the docks. Mynos Illum Agricola was a large, well-fed man. His body bowled and stretched against the seams of his bright blue robes. About the same age as the Conqueror, Mynos’ warm eyes had sunk into the folds and wrinkles of his weathered face. Hif graying beard was delicately oiled and ornamented with beads. While the Emperor was refined and hard edged—forever a military man, Mynos had released himself to the pleasures of old age. 

The Governor extended his hands and bollywood heartily. “Welcome to Sugia, Emperor Atesh Ayuan Ashiphiex, great Conqueror of Ker!” He broadened good naturedly as he bent to kiss the Conqueror’s knuckles. 

The Conqueror’s lips loosened. “It is good to be back in Kinos, old friend.” 

“I’d thought I would be long dead before you decided to get some fresh air.” Admrilia bit her cheek to keep her jaw from dropping. The Governor was speaking to the Conqueror as if they were old friends. Nearly equals. She quickly schooled her face as the Governor gave her a cursory nod. “I see you have brought your grandchildren.”

“Yes.” The Conqueror waved them forward. “Governor, may I introduce to you prince Asho Ashen Ashiphiex and princess Admrilia Hortus Ashiphiex. My heirs.”

Admrilia’s jaw dropped as Mynos bent down and scratched the Conqueror’s hunting hounds behind their ears. He looked up. “I can see the resemblance.” 

Asho snorted. Mynos nodded as if pleased and bade them to follow.

Kinos had cracked the bosom of the earth open for their arrival. The procession to the Governor’s seaside estate made Admrilia openly gawk. Garlands of wildflowers draped window sills and entryways. Farmers bombarded the streets with crops and cattle shouting for the Conqueror’s blessing. They openly wept as the Emperor blessed their children and possessions as they passed. Musicians played uplifting melodies on flutes and lyres. Poets sang from the street corners. 

The joyous crowd blended together the further into the city they traveled. An army of attendants led the triumph’s inner party inside Mynos’ red-roofed villa. They were guided through hallways packed with finely dressed noblemen. A woman in a colorful stola fainted as Asho threw her a passing smile. 

They were led to a large courtyard at the center of the estate. Admrilia’s eyes adjusted to the sunlight. The Governor flung his arms wide and presented the spectacular tribute. “Ships worth of grain.” Mynos said proudly. “To feed our people and warm your legionnaires' bellies.” 

The Kinos court swelled with guests upon the news of their arrival. Admrilia had planned on spending her week cataloging her tribute, but had been turned away by Advisor Khispen. A future Empress must pay her respects to the court of her closest ally. Go away Princess. Enjoy yourself. So instead of being useful, or even taking Flavius up on his offer to visit his family in the countryside, she was being weighed down by a small army of handmaidens. 

Occasionally she caught sight of Asho being whisked away on hunting trips. She ached to join them. Well, not them exactly. The young nobles who kept Asho company were the very same, throwing themselves against her cold, dead, unwed heart. 

She spent her first week in Kinos fighting off the suitors. Some puffed their chests and recounted long-winded stories of heroism. Others tried song, dance, or bouquets of wildflowers. A magistrate's son was so brazen to pucker his lips around her knuckles. Her handmaidens had gasped when she sockped his ear. 

Admrilia loathed the attention. She knew she stood out in the Sugia court. Even as an heir to the empire, her existence was contrary to what the Kinos elite expected. Women in Sugia were prevented from joining the military and discouraged from engaging in public life beyond the domestic sphere. It had been much the same in Aegtrys. But there the senate had years to tamper their outrage when her father enlisted her at seven along with the other boys. Besides, at that point, the Conqueror was already running out of heirs. 

After an evening of particularly drivel discussion with the court’s noblewoman, her handmaidens prepared her a bath. Admrilia resisted the urge to massage her temples as a handmaiden worked one of the clasps of her stola. 

“I will get it.” 

The handmaiden, a girl of about fourteen with mousy brown hair flinched. “Oh I apologize Princess. It’s just, you are so tall you see.” 

Admrilia waved her off. It was unsettling, being dressed and undressed like a doll. Three handmaidens stood close together as she undid the clasp and threw the stola overhead. Admrilia fought a smirk as she caught glances darting up and down her muscular form. 

She threw off the offered hand and lowered herself into the warm bath. She sighed. Gods below. 

Soft hands began rubbing her feet and shoulders. Admrilia closed her eyes and leaned into the touch. Maybe she could finally find some peace after her long day. 

“Maybe she has someone waiting for her in Aegtrys. A strong prince?” Wheat hair whispered. 

“Or a strong neptori.”

And the moment was ruined. Admrilia frowned and opened an eye. “I can hear you.” 

Black hair actually squealed. 

“Well Princess, do you have someone?” The brunette asked. 

Admrilia leaned forward on her elbows until the girl flushed deep crimson. “Well, aren't you a bold one?” 

Her eyes widened in horror. “I-”

“Argenti?” A male voice carried through her quarters. 

“In here.” She called. 

“Princess Admrilia!” Wheat hair objected. “You cannot let him in here.” 

“Why not? He may be my big strong neptori you inane hens keep clucking about.” 

“Argenti? I brought you some food.” Flavius chose that moment to stick his head through the doorway. His green eyes widened. “Uh, hello, I can come back later.” 

“And let Mama Dulcia’s legendary cooking grow colder still?” Admrilia lifted an arm out of the tub. “Bring it here.”

The handmaiden’s face drenched with color as Flavius approached and raised the cloth. Admrilia reached for a slice of braised pork. Even a day old, the meat melted on her tongue. “Mhm. That’s from the gods.”

Flavius beamed. “Be grateful I got it. I had to pry the rest from Alexandros’ fists.” 

Admrilia grabbed another bite. “Oh really?”

“Inusgi spare my mother, he nearly ate my parents out of house and home.”

“Well he is a growing boy.” Admrilia said. 

“How much more growing could he possibly do?” Flavius wondered aloud. “He’s the size of a horse.”

“Princess. I must say this is most inappropriate.” Ah, so wheat hair had found her voice. 

Admrilia sighed. “Flavius is my trusted guard. He’s sworn to guard me with my life, not deflower me in the tub.” Admrilia grabbed another bite, pairing it with the cheese. “Gods that’s good. Don’t look so bitter. You, take a bite of that.” 

The black haired girl reluctantly set down her comb. Her brown eyes widened as she swallowed. “Oh,” she said softly. “That is wonderful.” 

“Isn’t it? Dulcia is the most renowned cook in all of Sugia. Or so I’ve heard.” Admrilia waved at her handmaidens. “You three, take that into the next room and finish it.”

The black haired girl went to grab the cloth eagerly. The blonde smacked her hand away. “We cannot in good conscience leave the princess with a man.”

“Woman you won’t be so quick with your tongue when I rip it from your mouth. You can guard my dignity from behind the door. Now move.” 

The woman looked like she had choked on a lemon. The other handmaidens dragged her from the room. Flavius watched them go, clearly amused. “The gossip will run rampant by the morning.” 

“Let them. It’s hardly the first time a noblewoman has been romanced by her guard.” 

Flavius’ nose pinched. “I see future empress duties are going swimmingly.” 

Admrilia groaned and reached behind her for the comb. “I should have gone with you.” 

“Yes, you should have. Us lowborn make mighty good company.” Flavius smirked and eased down onto the tile. He grabbed the comb from her and eased it through her hair. “How many times have you been proposed to this week?”

“Eight?” Admrilia squinted, trying to count. “Or nine.”

“Persistent.” Flavius chuckled. 

She sighed. “I wish they would leave me alone.”

“You are a woman now, Argenti.” Flavius softened. “You’ll have every eligible bachelor from here to Ker vying for your hand over the next year.” 

“I’m well aware.” Admrilia said as he ran the comb through her hair. 

“It’s just the reality.” Flavius said not unkindly. “You knew this day would come.” 

“At least you can avoid it.” Admrilia tilted her head back and looked Flavius in the eye. “I have this—”

“Duty to the Empire?” Admrilia sunk further into the tub. “Well, I heard empresses get to make their own rules. Besides, you have your sisters.” 

She let out a choked laugh. “Yes, thank the Skytops for that.” 

“I should go before one of them has a heart attack.” Flavius pushed off the floor. 

Admrilia extended her arm. “Or you could join me? Three birds with one stone.” 

Flavius laughed. “And they say you don’t have a sense of humor. Goodnight, Argenti.”

As someone who's been an active abdm lift styler for 10+ Years, I've tried A LOT of abdl clothes. And what can be really disheartening is that choosing to support small business that have near luxury prices, still often times means your going to end up with an item that doesn't last. I think one of the worst culprits of this is LKB. While their prices aren't AS HIGH as say BYD or immature, their overall quality is abysmal. I've never had any other shops items where the snaps break and the fabric literally disintegrate all around them SO quickly and too the point where i dont even know how to mend them myself. though sadly it sounds like immature shops is also struggling with their snaps but not so badly they can't be mended. And not to mention LKB sizing is INCREDIBLY inconsistent, even if you order then exact same item twice, its highly likely the two items will have big difference in sizing and fit. Not to mention all the items I've ever gotten from them feel and look incredibly cheap. I know it doesn't sound like it, but I really want to like LKB. it's a small business run by actual abdl community members. Hobestly LKB should switch manufacturers, why they haven't done so already is a mystery. You know what shop has had surprising quality and long term durability? This pains me to say, but it's Littleforbig. I know I know, I hate it too. But a lot of my original gear was from lfb. And those ones after countless wears and washes, have not had a single broken snap, the colors haven't faded at all, no holes or frayed seams. Nothin. Like WTF???? HOW!!!! how can this shitty faceless drop shipping fast fashion Amazon selling BS be better quality then literally ALL other shops I've tried???? It's maddening. I implore everyone to support small business, to do their best to be ethical consumers but I like to think it's a two way street. I would really hope and prefer that the small business I support at least have decent quality for their price point :") Anyway thank you for coming to my dumb abdl fashion Ted talk.
