The best designer dupes of 2022 and where to buy them: Gucci, Cartier
1. Gucci Lug Sole Loafers, $1,100 vs. Steve Madden Loafers, $99

Don’t loaf around dragging your feet on this designer purchase when you could have a dupe of the Gucci shoes for a fraction of the price.
If you want the Gucci brand loafers, we did find them at Farfetch for $1,100, ranging in sizes 34 to 42. For the more affordable option, head over to Steve Madden for a $99 pair that are almost identical.
If none of these are quite right, we also have a dedicated dupes roundup for the chunky loafer trend, so check that out after scooping up the rest of the designer lookalikes on this page.
2. Bottega Veneta Lug Boots, $1,200 vs: ASOS Boots, $68.40 (originally $114)

No need to lug out to the outlet mall for a great deal on designer items when you can get a dupe.
The stunning Bottega Veneta tall Chelsea lug boots are an investment, and if you’re up for it, they are still sold on the site for $1,200 and come in six different colors including black, dark green, pale brown, white and more.
However, should you want to save some cash for the rest of the items on this list, check out the ASOS style, which is on sale for $68.40.
3. Golden Goose Hi-Star Sneakers, $605 vs. Goodnight Macaroon, $94

Get Golden Goose lookalikes without spending actual gold on them.
Unless you want to, that is. In that case, the sneakers can be found at Nordstrom in a variety of colors and patterns, all pre-beat up as per the trend. The white and silver pair we found goes for $605, stars and scuffs included.
For the more frugal among us, we found a site called Goodnight Macaroon that has a sweet deal on the shoes. They cost $94 and also have six styles to choose from including a silver pair as seen above, gold and even animal print.
4. Bottega Veneta Stretch Heels, $930 vs. EGO Heels, $37.99

If there is a loophole when it comes to designer fashion, you can bet we’ll find it.
These mesh heels from Bottega Veneta are pretty iconic, with holes covering the square two and back and a strappy tie at the top. The designer shoes come in four colors including green, teal blue, black and white, each priced at $930.
The discounted dupes we found are sold at EGO, coming in a variety of colors that aren’t far off from the teal or bright green of the Bottega’s. They also have the same mesh and square toe, but only cost $37.
5. Vivian Westwood Mini Bas Relief Choker, $210 vs. Amazon, $14.60

Shoot for the stars, or Saturn in this case, but pay the price of an average Earthling.
The Vivian Westwood choker blew up on TikTok as the must-have accessory of the summer and comes in both silver and gold on her site. The chain is made of faux pearls and an imitation Rhodium setting, but the sparkles come from real Swarovski crystals, retailing for $210.
To save a few bucks, Amazon is the next best thing, selling an almost identical dupe for $12.60 in the silver color or $13.60 for the gold color.
