(Newly updated in 2024: I'm always trying to keep this page up to date with new releases and removing the items that are gone from Amazon, sorry if I'm behind!)
Do you love a high-price designer look? I sometimes do! However, it's just not in my budget right now. Thankfully, I've found a few items on amazon.com that are similar to these well-loved designer items that you see celebrities and fashion gurus wearing. These items are designer-inspired that can give you a designer look for less.
Okay, but first, I'd like to start off by saying that in all my life, I've never been really into big brands or designer items. This may be due to the fact that I was raised to be extremely careful with my money and not blow my well-earned bucks. It also may be due to the fact that my mum instilled in me an "screw the idea of 'normal'" mentality and that helped me discern between what's actually cool and what's just a trend used as a status symbol with little to no value.
I'm thankful for this, but I can still find myself drooling over a few designer items every now and then... and this list is for those in the same boat!

A few common questions before I dive into my amazon designer inspired items:
Are designer-inspired items legal?
Yeah! Copyright law in the U.S. does not cover fashion, as it is seen as functional or useful. This means shapes, looks, patterns are free game. There have been attempts at establishing fashion copyright for decades but to no avail. However, there is one caveat: you cannot pretend to be that designer. Simple enough!
Are designer-inspired items ethical?
That is totally up to you to decide. For example, I own a few of the Amazon designer-looking items on this list: Rayban-inspired Clubmaster Sunglasses, RayBan-inspired Rounded Sunglasses, Prada-Inspired Cahier Bag, a Gucci-inspired double-ring belt, and a pair of Chanel-inspired black cap-toe slingback. They're really nice staple pieces that look designer, but are simpler inexpensive designs!
Would I ever buy designer?
Oh yes, I dream of a day where I can confidently buy a pair of Gucci heels!! They may still be bought used, though, because I'm just a cost-conscious gal. hah! But at this point in my life and financial state (single lady living in a city), I would rather put that money into my bank account to save for a newer car or other big purchases, because I don't want to go into debt.
