These designer dupes could save you over £1000 this winter

Whether you’re shopping for yourself or buying Christmas presents for loved ones, a designer winter wardrobe or luxury beauty collection feels more out of reach than ever for most of us. 

Luckily, the team at fashion and beauty site Eliza is on hand to help, with its expert editors and contributors. 

The team have scouted-out the best quality dupes of cult products from the likes of The North Face, Ugg, Charlotte Tilbury and Skims.

By scouring the high street and online stores the team have found options that could potentially save you hundreds of pounds by simply swapping designer brands for affordable alternatives.

The selection includes a Zara puffer jacket that’s a dead-ringer for The North Face’s models 10 times more expensive.  

There’s M&S’s bargain take on pricey must-have Ugg boots and a dress that will please any fan of Skims, Kim Kardashian’s clothing brand – for half the price.

There is also Eliza’s beauty editor’s favourite alternative to one of makeup guru Charlotte Tilbury’s cult products, and the team’s go-to dupes for Tom Ford’s luxury scents.

The biggest saving of all comes in the form of a tried-and-tested Revlon hair tool that the team rates as a rival to the Dyson Air Wrap. The Revlon model that’s £400 cheaper than Dyson’s offering.

Read on for the Eliza team’s pick of the designer dupes, and to potentially save yourself more than £1000.
