I absolutely love this post! As a college student who loves designer brands, I’m often tantalized by their products. Sometimes, I end up buying them even though my wallet can’t afford it. So, I’m really happy that this blog post exists. These DIY crafts are all relatively inexpensive, and they’re some great dupes to designer brands. I’ll definitely be trying some of these in the future!
