Eva Amurri shares the best Luxury Dupes

Are you a Label Queen? While I’m not one, per se, there are certain luxury labels that really set the bar on quality. For example, I’ve had my set of Louis Vuitton luggage since 2010 and it’s still looking fabulous. Ditto other designer accessories I’ve had for over a decade. These days, the quality and design of luxury isn’t as unattainable as it used to be—thanks mostly to lots of design innovation and research that gives us access to beautiful things at a lower price point. Today I thought I would share some awesome luxury dupes (in nearly every category) that I personally love and buy!

Now, when I say “Luxury Dupes”, I DO NOT mean knockoffs. Knockoffs are not something I’d promote, as they really do harm the industry as a whole. What I mean by “dupes” are innovators at different brands who have learned how to source and execute designs or ingredients without the luxury markup. Basically, a less expensive option that you could use “in place of” a luxury, popular item. The luxury “original” might be slightly better (or have that label you just can’t resist) but if they aren’t in your budget, a Dupe just might do!

It’s been super interesting to see so many dupes come out that are actually just as good as the original! I’ve always been a fan of style and beauty that is attainable to all, and more expensive doesn’t always mean better. Let me know if you’ve tried any of these popular dupes or if you have any great ones that aren’t on this list!

Splurge!

Gucci Princetown Shearling Loafer Mules

$995

These are the perfect blend of comfort and style! And while the OG’s would make a great investment if you have the available cash, their price can be intimidating…

Luckily, ASOS to the rescue! These dupes are vegan and feature the same backless mule style with the fur but for literally a fraction of the cost!

Splurge!
