The best designer lookalikes? Oh, yes, please! While I love sharing longer, informative, and helpful posts, I know sometimes y’all enjoy a quick and light post! Me too! The deep, content-rich ones are great, and I’ll never stop bringing you those, but sometimes we just need something fun and frothy to browse, right? 😃

Today, I’ve rounded up some of the best designer-inspired items I could find! Some of them are simply designer-inspired knockoffs, but a couple of them are basically indiscernible from similar designer designs. These aren’t counterfeits!

Most of you know that making and selling counterfeit items is illegal. I’m not in any way promoting the purchase of counterfeit goods! That takes money right out of the hands of legitimate businesses.

So, what’s the difference between a counterfeit and a knockoff?

Counterfeit items actually have copies of a brand, designer logo, or symbol on them. Counterfeiters purposefully make them identical to the original product. On the other hand, designer lookalikes, or knockoffs, merely resemble the original item closely. They don’t have the exact design or the manufacturer’s distinctive marks, and the quality is probably not as good. It’s not illegal to make or sell designer knockoffs.

We found some really good ones for you this time! 🎉 We’ve put them all in the boutique below, but we wanted to call out a few of our very favorites for you:

• Check out THIS dupe of THIS $690 Celine designer belt. (If you want the actual designer belt, consider buying it pre-owned HERE.
• If you like Celine, you won’t believe THESE designer alternative sandals that look exactly like the $720 Celine Triomphe sandals! (Or by the designer pair pre-owned for $535.50 HERE.)
• If you are looking for a scarf for the fall season, THIS dupe of THIS $660 Hermes scarf is incredible!
• This cashmere sweater is a fantastic dupe of this sweater. I own the dupe in two colors! ( It comes in 13 colors 😲)
• Need a larger bag? Check out THIS dupe of the Longchamp Le Pliage Tote!
