They say that emulation is the highest form of flattery, just packaged differently, and personally we feel the same. In the world of the consumer, duplicates or “no name” brands most often don’t hold a candle to the big guys, unless by some blessed fate a celebrity or blogger gets their hands on it. So imagine a world of duplicates that actually work that people will NEVER get to see? AAAAGGGGGHHH, frightening! That’s why we decided to dedicate some time to find some of the most popular brands we know and love, and offer up “dupes” that work just as good as the original, if not better and just in time for the summer!
