Well, duh, look for dupes! And let me tell you, the world of designer lookalikes is vast and sometimes… a bit dodgy. But fear not, I’ve been doing some *serious* investigating.
First things first, the Hermes Clic Clac bracelet…it’s iconic. That enamel, that “H”… it’s just *chef’s kiss*. Now, you could trawl through eBay, some people are saying that you can find a pretty convincing dupe for around 30 quid, and honestly, if you didn’t KNOW it was a dupe, you might actually think it was the real deal! But, you know, buying off eBay can be a gamble. You gotta watch out for those fakes that look like they were made in, like, a preschool art class. Yikes.
And then there’s the Amazon route. Ah, Amazon. Land of everything. They’ve got dupes for everything from David Yurman’s cable bracelets (those are pretty, too!) to Vivienne Westwood’s pearl necklace (love that one!). Finding a Hermes dupe there might be a bit like searching for a needle in a haystack, though. I’ve seen some that are…well, let’s just say the “H” looks more like a badly drawn hashtag. *shudders*
I gotta say though, I’ve been seeing these black Hermes bracelet dupes popping up. Supposedly made with titanium stainless steel, they’ve got that signature ‘H’ buckle going on. The article I read made sure to point out that the “H” doesn’t stand for Hermes, but for harmony. *eye roll* Okay, sure. But honestly, who cares what it stands for as long as it *looks* good, right?
Oh, and I saw this one by Abbott Lyon that Vicky Pattison (who even *is* Vicky Pattison?) apparently endorses. It’s called the Icon Initial Bangle and it’s gold plated. She calls it “designer inspired” which is code for “dupe,” obviously. It’s not *exactly* the Hermes style, but it’s got that similar bangle vibe and, you know, you can get *your* initial on it. So, personalized dupe? Maybe?
