There is nothing wrong with super rare items where just seeing someone in town wearing it is special, but in a casual game like this, those items shouldn't have stats. Just the look of the item should be enough of a reward. If there is a set bonus, then most average gamers (few hours on most days) should be able to farm one in a few weeks.
IMO vanities should never give stats. What's the point of having cool vanities if everyone just wears the same ones for the set bonus?
