The Lookalike List: Serena & Lily Scalloped Lamp

ByKaitlin Madden 08/13/202408/13/2024

I come across all sorts of “dupes” or lookalike items in my line of work. And, while I have mixed feelings about copycat designs … I also feel like the people who can’t afford the original version of something won’t buy it anyway, while the people who can afford the O.G. most likely will. So, why not share some more affordable options? I plan to share new products I find every Tuesday, and I’ll link them all on my “Lookalike List” page so you can go back and reference them in case you miss anything.

Today’s lookalike? A Birch Lane/Wayfair table lamp that is a ringer for a super pricey Serena & Lily version. They are also exactly the same, but the shade on the S&L lamp looks like it has a bit more detail, and the colors are a little different (although the S&L on also comes in a sage color that’s very similar to the Wayfair one.).

What do you think? Would you splurge on the original or save the $200?
