"Dupe" is short for "duplicative."

It refers to a cost-effective
"alternative" that imitates
the design and quality
of luxury goods and
other high-end brands
at a lower price.

Korean word

Dupe tribe: consumers seeking
alternative products that
are cheaper yet offer
quality comparable
to high-end brands.

Dupe: short for duplicate.

Unlike counterfeit goods,
it is a new consumer trend
that focuses on recreating
a similar "emotion"
or "feel" rather than
counterfeiting the brand logo.

Popular among Generation Z, 
it has become a culture shared
on social media and
enjoyed like a "game".

This trend is believed
to reflect rational consumption
and aversion to the excessive
prices of luxury goods.

Characteristics of a Dupe

Copies vs. Dupes:
While counterfeit goods
completely imitate genuine products,
dupes offer low-cost alternatives
that mimic the "feel" of luxury items,
reducing the risk of legal issues.

Value:
The goal is to address the
"emotional cost of luxury goods"
by providing satisfaction without
the burden of a high price.

Consumption pattern:
People seek pleasure
by enjoying luxury goods
at low prices and sharing their
experiences on social media.

Examples of Dupes

Cosmetics: Daiso lip balm,
similar to Chanel's lip balm.

Fashion: Inexpensive bags
reminiscent of Hermès Birkin bags
and products similar
to Lululemon leggings.

Backgrounds
of Dupes Consumption

Economic Factors:
The burden of high prices
for luxury goods amid overall
high costs and a preference
for rational consumption.

Social Factors:
The "low-consumption core" trend,
which favors restrained consumption
over conspicuous consumption,
is gaining popularity.

Psychological Factors:
People view shopping as
entertainment and enjoy the process
of finding the best dupes.

In conclusion, dupes represent
a new cultural phenomenon among
modern consumers who go
beyond merely seeking affordable
products to genuinely
appreciate the design and
sensibility of luxury goods.

Market Trends

Among Generation Z,
the “Dupe” trend is
rapidly growing as a way
to enjoy the emotional appeal
of luxury goods at affordable prices.

Unlike counterfeits,
dupes recreate the design
and quality of high-end brands
without copying logos,
offering a legal and
cost-effective alternative.

In cosmetics, examples like
Daiso lip balm resembling
Chanel’s have gained popularity,
reflecting a shift toward rational
consumption and more
playful shopping behavior.

This trend opens new opportunities
for OEM & ODM companies
to develop products that
deliver luxury-like satisfaction
at accessible prices.
