And yet we’re already saying—or hearing—it, breathlessly, as if the fabulous find would somehow be made even better by owning it in multiples.<a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!XBLP!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F59de81
