That’s where Ego comes in, bless their little hearts. They’re basically makin’ dreams come true for us broke fashionistas. I mean, ninety-nine percent off? Seriously? That’s insane! I saw it online and was like, “Okay, there HAS to be a catch.” Like, is it gonna fall apart after one use? Is it gonna smell like, I dunno, old gym socks? But apparently, from what I’ve read and heard (okay, I haven’t *actually* touched one myself, sue me!), it’s actually pretty decent.
Honestly, sometimes I think designer brands are just messing with us. Like, charging thousands for a bag… it’s kinda ridiculous, right? It’s a bag! It holds your stuff! Ego’s bag, at least, doesn’t pretend to be something it’s not. It’s a *dupe*, and it’s a cheap one. And that’s okay!
I’m not saying ditch all your designer dreams forever. Maybe someday I’ll win the lottery and buy a whole closet full of Balenciaga (a girl can dream!). But until then, I’m totally cool rockin’ a dupe. Especially if it means I can still, y’know, afford to eat.
Plus, let’s be honest, nobody can *really* tell the difference unless they’re like, inspecting your bag with a magnifying glass. And if someone’s doing that, you probably have bigger problems than whether or not your bag is authentic. Just own it! Strut your stuff! Who cares if it’s not the real deal? You’re rocking the look, and that’s all that matters.
