Loungefly Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary Minnie Ear Headband – $225.00

I love Loungefly but I’m at a loss as to why these are $225.00 ears. It’s almost the same as the $40 pair, but it’s gold tone leather?

I’m sorry. This just feels like a flat out money grab to me. One could get gold sequined ears and put rhinestones on them for a fraction of the price or get an ear hat, add sequins and rhinestones.

It’s crazy.
