First lady Melania Trump’s fashion choices never fail to make headlines, and replicates of her Zara jacket cryptically emblazoned with “I really don’t care, do u?” are now up for grabs for almost $1,000 on eBay.
The controversial olive green anorak, which originally retailed for $39 and has since sold out, is currently receiving hefty bids on the online marketplace, The Washington Post reports. As of Friday morning, two “pre-owned” versions of the “authentic” jacket were bidding at $895 and $660.
Both sellers report that they bought the jacket in Zara stores a few years ago.
