And let me tell you, the dupe game is STRONG. Like, seriously strong. You can find alternatives in practically every color under the sun – pink, orange, white, black, nude…you name it, they got it. Which is kinda like the real Orans, actually. They come in, like, a zillion colors too.
I mean, alright, are they *exactly* the same? Nah. But for under $150? You can snag something that’s, like, 90% there. I’ve seen some that are seriously impressive, especially the ones with a flat footbed, which is, you know, kinda the whole point of the Oran anyway. Comfy *and* chic? Yes, please!
And, honestly, who’s gonna know the difference unless they’re, like, inspecting your feet with a magnifying glass? I mean, I’m not saying you should *lie* and pretend they’re real, but…you know…*wink wink*.
I saw one dupe, the Dune London Loupe sandals, that people are saying are *the* best dupe. They come in a bunch of colors too, which is awesome. I’m actually kinda tempted to get a couple of pairs, ya know? One black, one nude…maybe a fun pop of color for summer? Decisions, decisions!
Look, at the end of the day, a dupe is a dupe. It’s not the *real* thing. But if you’re like me and you love the look of the Hermès Oran sandals but can’t justify dropping a grand on a pair of slides, then a dupe is a total lifesaver. Just do your research, read the reviews, and don’t expect perfection. You’ll probably find something you love.
