Bizarre: these 8 Zara items look exactly like designer pieces

Let's start by stating that I am absolutely not a fan of fake designer stuff. Read: buying a Louis Vuitton bag on the beach during your vacation or checking out a very cheap Gucci find on Vinted. But in the category of ‘inspired by’ and ‘a bit softer on the price’, Zara is a favorite for many of us when it comes to lookalike designer stuff. So today a little bit from me but mostly from our Spanish fashion friends: the 8 items that look like two peas in a pod to designer pieces. It took some searching and we might be slightly behind on materials and fits, but yes: from the must-have Prada crop-down jacket and the signature Max Mara teddy coat to the denim Balenciaga bag and the padded Isabel Marant gilet we have found Zara's biggest sources of inspiration.
