First off, the bags. The Ferragamo Star Triple Zip? A beauty! But that price tag…oof. People are searching for alternatives, and like, I totally get it. You can find similar designs with similar vibes elsewhere for, hopefully, a lot less. Think about the overall look, the structure, the hardware. It’s like, you’re not trying to *fool* anyone, you’re just being, uh, *resourceful*.
And then there’s the shoes! My lord, the designer shoe *dupes* situation is a whole other level. I saw someone mentioning Acne Studios, Gucci, Chanel, The Row… and Ferragamo definitely belongs in that conversation. I mean, who can resist a good pair of pumps or loafers? It’s all about finding that similar silhouette, that similar color palette, that *similar feeling* when you slip them on. Like, you don’t *need* the logo screaming at everyone, you just need to *feel* fabulous.
Speaking of shoes, ahem, did you know they are also other options, I’m not sure if that’s important, but it is what it is.
Now, some people get all judgey about “dupes.” “Oh, you’re supporting unethical practices blah blah blah.” And, yeah, that can be a valid point. But sometimes, it’s just about getting the aesthetic. It’s about feeling good in what you’re wearing, and not feeling like you have to choose between looking stylish and, like, eating this week. Plus, let’s be honest, some of these designer prices are just…insane.
Also, I saw some people searching for “salvatore ferragamo dupe” on Etsy for belts, which, I mean, okay! Belts are important. A good belt can really pull an outfit together, ya know? But maybe be careful what you’re buying there, make sure it isn’t a total rip-off and made in sweatshops, or something.
