Ohh I see! I emailed customer service about returned orders and they gave me a very vague reply lol (as expected) and neither answered nor confirmed really if online will still be restocked or only instores now. Literally just said “the scarf is not available at our online store…but please stay tuned on our website in case we do” *facepalm*
They sort of mumbled a bunch of gobbledygook during my phone call but could compose themselves long enough to indicate they're removing the leather pieces because so many people kept getting hit with phantom inventory orders. So I repeated my question of why the "in stock" function showed an increasing number of leather items if they're getting removed (the total number also later dipped in the day exactly like it has done with phantom restock days). They could only say that things might come back once they know an inventory. But CS can only remark on the limited info they get and their warehouse/inventory has clearly never been on top of this entire deployment
