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 $35 dupe of THIS $300 Coach handbag.
- Quince is the spot for affordable dupes! This pretty dress gives you the same elegant look as THIS dress but at a fraction of the price.
- If you are looking for a scarf for the fall season, THIS dupe of THIS $950 Hermes scarf is incredible!
- Trending suede Mary Janes are everywhere right now! You could splurge on these… but we found a pair that looks almost identical for so much less.
- Love the look of Anthropologie furniture but not the price tag? You’ll be amazed at these Walmart dupes—they look just like the high-end pieces, but for a fraction of the cost! One of my faves is this rattan wall mirror and the budget-friendly dupe that’s nearly identical.
- If you’ve been eyeing the Spanx athleisure set, you’ll love this Amazon dupe—it has the same chic, streamlined vibe at a much friendlier price point!
- Belts can totally make an outfit. You could go with this designer belt, but this DUPE has the same stylish vibe without the splurge.
