It's amazing how often things break with absolutely no indication of why or what caused it. Load a page, get a completely blank screen or component. Why? No clue. Everything just silently fails and redirects you to a happy path, e.g. back to a home page or a starting screen. Maybe if you're lucky you'll get an "Oops, try again later or contact support for more help!"
The fashion industry is so rife with this. It seems like any URL that is more than a day old is going to 404 or silently redirect to the front page of the store.
Super frustrating if you read fashion-related reddits. 90+% of links on posts more than a few months old are dead. Only the ones that go to Instagram albums or something like that, are usually still OK. True even for companies that mostly sell "timeless" fashions.
Yep, my workflow is Find something cool in an MFA inspo album -> find it in the comments -> 404. I dont know why I even bother sometimes. It's literally every brand from small botique to the gap, so it must be 'working' somehow, right?
