Seriously, who *has* $1200 to drop on a belt? I mean, I guess some people do, but *I* sure don’t. That’s where the magic of dupes comes in, right? It’s all about looking boujee on a budget. And let’s be real, some of these dupes are, like, scary close to the real deal.
I saw this article, right, about Kmart – yeah, *Kmart* – selling an $8 version of a Dior belt. EIGHT. DOLLARS. I’m not kidding. My brain literally short-circuited. Like, can you even? I haven’t checked it yet but it is on my to-do list this week
So, like, where do you find these treasures? Well, the internet is your friend, obvs. There are tons of websites dedicated to finding designer dupes. I saw one that was like, “Best Designer Dupes Websites of 2021 and Beyond!” So, like, there’s def still some good stuff out there. You just gotta do some digging. And maybe brace yourself for some…questionable…quality. Because, you know, you get what you pay for, mostly but hey, sometimes you get more than you pay for!
And, honestly? I’m kinda here for it. I mean, if you can rock a Dior-inspired belt and nobody’s the wiser, why not? Plus, think of all the other cute stuff you can buy with the money you saved. Shoes? Bags? More dupes? The possibilities are endless, people!
I’m not going to lie, I have looked for good quality alternatives for luxury brands such as LV, Gucci and Hermes. They are amazing.
Now, are all dupes created equal? Absolutely not. Some are amazing and some are… well, let’s just say you can tell they’re not the real thing from a mile away. That’s why it’s important to do your research, read reviews, and maybe even ask around. Don’t be afraid to ask for pics! The more the merrier! I found one that was amazing once, even the texture was spot on.
But hey, even if you end up with a dud, it’s not the end of the world. You’re only out a few bucks, and you can always try again. The hunt for the perfect Dior belt dupe is half the fun, right?
