I Bought an Hermès-Inspired Bracelet to See What All The Fuss Is About

So I bought an Hermès inspired bracelet on Amazon

Lately, I feel like I keep seeing designer-inspired pieces for less on Amazon and I wanted to check things out for myself.

So I ordered this white buckle bracelet, which is inspired by a similar bracelet made by Hermés, but at a much more affordable price!

 It retails for less than $20 on Amazon, while an authentic Hermes Clic H bracelet is a cool $600.

Are Designer Dupes Worth it—and Legal? 

I just want to clarify one thing first right off the bat: A dupe is not the same as a counterfeit designer item. A dupe is a piece that’s “inspired” by the original, while a counterfeit product is pretending to be the actual product. 

A counterfeit item really hurts the fashion industry. In short, it’s when someone says it’s Louis Vuitton but it really isn’t.

A dupe, or designer-inspired piece is someone just making something super similar. Make sense? 

In a way, we wear dupes every single day. Fast fashion, by definition, is really a lot of dupes inspired by designer originals. I’ll leave it up to you to decide whether or not you think this is o.k. as I know this can inspire a lot of “OMG but it’s not real so why buy it?!” reactions or “Who cares I like it and I can actually afford this one!” 

And for the record, this is my first designer-inspired purchase. All of my luxury designer fashion items are 100% authentic.

My Amazon Hermès Clic H Bracelet 

I ordered the bracelet in white, which is like a pearly white with a pretty gloss sheen. You can see from the Hermès website that it’s also got a nice pretty sheen to it.

When it arrived, I was honestly surprised it was packaged in…an Hermès orange box! It even has a little “Made in France” emblem on the side. The packaging, in fact, is the same as the original.

What’s not as lovely is that there’s a big plastic barcode taped on top of the box. I could’ve done without that. I decided to scratch it off to take these photos and guess what was underneath? A big fat Hermès logo.

Another surprise? The inside of the bracelet actually has “Hermès” etched inside of it. I was not expecting it as the listing doesn’t say anything about this bracelet being inspired by the brand.

It also clearly says “Made in France” on the inside of the bracelet.

It’s really pretty. No scratches, beautiful condition,  and, quite frankly, looks just lovely. 

It’s a cute accessory and comes in all the colors the designer bracelet comes in: pink, red, orange, black, white, and more. I believe about 14 colors in all.

The bracelet also comes in the 12mm and 18mm versions. And, at this price, you could buy a few and stack ‘em! Seriously, ladies, it’s under $20

I’ve seen a few gals stacking them with cable bracelets similar to the David Yurman ones! The weight of the bracelet is on par with the real thing. And, I’ve been wearing it!

  1. “I just want to clarify one thing first right off the bat: A dupe is not the same as a counterfeit designer item. A dupe is a piece that’s “inspired” by the original, while a counterfeit product is pretending to be the actual product. ”

    How is this not a counterfeit item when it’s being sold in the Hermes packaging? You’re basically promoting what you earlier railed against.

    1. Yes, it’s confusing. What I was trying to say was that my intention when purchasing it initially wasn’t to buy a counterfeit item. But when I opened it, I was surprised there was an orange box and that it was engraved on the inside as well. So yes, it’s more of a counterfeit than a dupe even though I didn’t know that when I first ordered it. This item is no longer being carried by or sold by Amazon since it is a fake. Hope that makes more sense, I know that was super confusing.

  2. Hi Marlene,
    This looks amazing!!! Can you please send the link from Amazon? Even if it’s not available now I’ll keep checking!

  3. I have this same dupe in black and love it. I wish I had gotten more colors! I’m on the hunt for white/silver. I’ve heard that these are good dupes since the real deal is only gold plated. I wouldn’t want to spend $500+ on gold plated jewelry! In this case I’ll stick with the dupe!

  4. Discovered this post, and i want this but the link doesn’t work! I guess the seller took it down or something? If you have another link or know the name of the shop, please let me know! This was a great find.

    1. Oh, bummer! I know because of Coronavirus a lot of third party vendors aren’t shipping right now. I’d check back again in a few weeks to see if it’s back! Sorry about that.

  5. Looks as though you bought a real Hermès, just re-sold to you. You got a great deal! Only $20… that’s a steal!

    1. I think it’s more of a knock off…. I’m shocked it is stamped with “made in France” as well as “Hermès” and arrived in an Hermès box and yet it’s not real. It seems misleading…. which if so, it would be a knock off, correct? Very impressed that you found something almost identical to the original. Could it be the real deal?

      1. Honestly, I wondered that myself. And yes, it would definitely fall into the knockoff category, not a dupe. Though when I initially made the purchase I was not intending to purchase a knockoff and thought it would be a dupe. The packaging and the way it’s stamped on the inside is definitely what surprised me most! I expected a flimsy plastic package or something.

  6. I just LOVE posts about DUPE items because I wouldn’t ever buy a dupe until I’ve seen a review I trust. Awesome post!

  7. Thank you so much for sharing this post! I’ve heard that amazon has some great dupes but haven’t purchased myself. I think I need this bracelet though!!
