dupes

• pros
  • plus size friendly (early y2k jp designs often dont serve 70cm + waists)
  • cheap and affordable
  • retired designs
  • the brands themselves used to dupe fast fashion anyways
• cons
  • cheap labour
  • cheap materials
  • environmentally non conscious
  • doesn't help the brands in any way
  • may give room for hyperconsumerism
• agejo brands
  • yuki
