Dupe
Significado: A cheaper alternative that closely resembles a designer or luxury item — a budget-friendly lookalike.
A dupe (short for 'duplicate') is a more affordable product that looks similar to an expensive one. Unlike counterfeits, dupes aren't trying to pass as the real thing — they're just similar in style. Finding good dupes is a badge of honor in fashion, showing you can get the look without the price tag. The 'dupe culture' has exploded on TikTok.

✗ Incorrecto
- Don't call obvious counterfeits 'dupes' — a dupe is a legal lookalike, not a knockoff with a fake logo不要把明显的假冒品叫'平替'——平替是合法的相似款,不是带假logo的山寨货No llames dupes a las falsificaciones evidentes — un dupe es una imitación legal, no una réplica con un logotipo falso明らかな偽造品を「デュープ」と呼ばないこと——デュープは合法的なそっくりさんであり、偽ロゴ入りのコピー品ではない명백한 위조품을 '듀프'라고 부르지 마세요 — 듀프는 합법적인 닮은꼴이지, 가짜 로고가 붙은 짝퉁이 아닙니다
