But then I saw something about “Bag Dupes” and “Eco-Friendly Fashion” which is…interesting. Because usually, when you think “dupe,” you don’t automatically jump to “saving the planet,” ya know? I mean, let’s be honest, a lot of these super cheap dupes are probably made in, like, a factory that’s not exactly known for its environmental friendliness, if you catch my drift.
So, this article is kinda talking about two different things, isn’t it? You’ve got the kinda-sorta-YSL-but-really-just-a-cosmetic-bag-thing on Amazon, and then you’ve got the broader idea of finding dupes that don’t totally trash the earth. Which, honestly, is kinda a noble goal.
I’ve seen some dupes that are, like, REALLY good. I’m talking almost impossible to tell the difference unless you’re, like, a *major* YSL aficionado. But is that even ethically okay? I mean, aren’t you kinda stealing the designer’s ideas? It’s a whole can of worms, isn’t it?
And then there’s the “sustainable” aspect. I’m always a bit skeptical, because “sustainable” is like, the new buzzword. Everyone’s slapping it on everything, but how sustainable *is* it, really? Are these eco-friendly dupes actually *durable*, or are they going to fall apart after, like, two weeks? Because if they fall apart quickly, you’re just buying *more* stuff, which defeats the whole point, right?
Maybe the cosmetic pouch on Amazon is the best way to go, that way you are getting the real deal, but just a small version… or maybe I should just save up and get the real bag I want in the first place? Ugh, decisions, decisions. I really hate being indecisive.
