About this listen

Episode 2 of Dupes explores fashion and home décor duping, where price markups become impossible to justify. VV Steele reveals how a forty-five-dollar DIY leather bag compares to a two-thousand-eight-hundred-dollar Bottega Veneta, why Van Cleef jewelry costing thousands has eight-hundred-dollar independent jeweler alternatives, and how thrift flipping transforms secondhand finds into designer-inspired pieces. Discover IKEA hacks that recreate Pottery Barn furniture, candle duping that reverse-engineers seventy-dollar Diptyque scents, and the Shein ethical dilemma between affordability and sustainability. VV examines designer handbag legal boundaries, the quiet luxury trend making duping easier, and plant propagation versus buying expensive houseplants. Learn how fashion industry responses vary from luxury brands raising prices to designer-for-Target collaborations, and what small businesses face when caught between mass-market dupes and luxury pricing.
