That’s why we’re all on the hunt for dupes, right? The real deal is a major splurge, so finding something that *almost* gives you the same vibe without emptying your bank account is the goal. I saw someone mention H&M has a dupe for like, 35 quid. Not bad, not bad at all. I mean, it probably doesn’t have the *exact* same quality, but hey, gotta compromise somewhere.
I’ve seen some peeps online asking about local brands that do similar styles. Honestly, that’s a great shout! Supporting small businesses is always a win. Plus, you might find something even more unique than a straight-up Miu Miu copy. Just gotta do some digging and see what’s out there, ya know? Like, hit up Etsy, maybe?
One thing I gotta say though, I’m kinda over the whole “everything has to be a perfect dupe” mentality. Like, the Miu Miu skirt is cool, but maybe you can find something similar that actually suits *your* style better. Maybe a slightly longer length? A different color? Just throwing it out there. Be your own person, ya know?
Someone in a forum somewhere mentioned L’ecole Des Femmes. Apparently Miu Miu kinda *borrowed* some inspo from them? That’s… interesting. They said the sizes are kinda limited and $$$, so maybe not the perfect solution, but worth checking out, I guess. If you’re super thin and symmetrical, lol. Which, honestly, who is?
And let’s be real about Shein. I know, I know, the quality can be sus and the ethical stuff is… well, not great. *But*, I’m not gonna lie, I’ve def seen some cheap-as-chips Miu Miu-esque skirts on there. Use your own judgement, okay? Maybe look for local second hand shops instead.
Honestly, thrifting is probably the *best* option. You can find some seriously amazing vintage pieces that might have a similar vibe. Plus, it’s good for the planet! Win-win. Although, finding the *exact* pleated, micro-mini perfection? Prob gonna take some serious dedication.
