I mean, Hermès… it’s the ultimate “I’ve made it” kinda statement. That “club,” as one of those articles said, it’s *exclusive*. And Saint Laurent? They’re awesome too, but sometimes you just crave that classic, understated, “holy crap, that’s an Hermès” vibe.
But here’s the thing: you don’t need to remortgage your house to get the *look*. We’re living in the age of dupes, baby! And, seriously, some of them are *amazing*. Like, I’m talking vegan leather that looks and feels legit. (Okay, maybe not *exactly* like the real deal, but close enough for most people, ya know?).
I saw something about canvas and full-grain leather work bags that are “luxury.” Yeah, that’s nice, but can it compete with the Hermès Birkin? Probs not. But! If you’re looking for something similar in style that’s a heck of a lot cheaper, look at the lookalikes that are out there.
And it’s not just bags, either. Those Hermès sandals? Total summer goals. But ouch, the price. Thankfully, the internet is overflowing with dupes. And honestly, with some of the alternatives to Hermes Belts, you can’t even really tell the difference. I mean, come on.
The Looping Louis Vuitton from 2002? Classic, sure. But kinda dated? Maybe a little. I’d rather rock a super trendy dupe, especially if it means I can still afford, like, groceries this week.
