Hi Guys!
I know it's been a minute since I wrote a post. It's that weird time period where not everyone is clothes shopping or shopping at all. One thing I always have my eye out for is a designer dupe. What a designer dupe is to me is an item that takes inspiration from designers, and is not a direct copy. It will not have the same logo or claim to be the real thing. There is a very fine line between a dupe and a copy. All the items I will be sharing are dupes!
With that being sad, it is no secret I love designer. I also love saving money where I can! Not everything is worth the designer splurge. I'll be sharing items I have that are dupes & the real thing below.
Dupe or Designer & Why?
BAGS
Clear tote bag
I own the dupe! I would not pay $200 for plastic but I do love the look. I like this as a beach bag in the summer or just as a statement to my outfit. I also use the pouch it comes with year round!
Black Satchel Bag
I own the Prada Saffiano Cuir Tote for the reason that this bag will last me years and yearsss. I have purchased the style on the right about 3-4 times, and I have had to replace the bag. I have decided to invest in a style I love and a style that I know will be a classic. The price point is a lot, but for something you love it's worth the splurge.
Large Envelope Bag
If I did not find this bag at Nordstrom Rack for $700 I probably would not own it. I am a deal hunter, and I love finding bags for under retail. Yes, $700 is a lot but it is way under what I would ever buy it for! There are a lot of dupes to this style, I linked a similar one from forever 21. Aldo also has a really nice one!
Red Fanny Pack
So the fanny pack is something that is trendy to me. Yes, it came back in style, but will it stay? For that reason, I will not invest in the designer one. I also do not wear color as much as I'd like too, so I could not invest in a red bag.
Quilted Nude Bag
This Chanel bag's retail price is mind boggling. I love Chanel bags but it is not in my budget to put this money down right now! I love the dupe a lot actually. I also get a lot of compliments every time I sport it! For $30, it fills my need and want for the Chanel boy bag.
Quilted Backpack
I've been seeing the backpack trend everywhere and I think it's here to stay! Although it's here to stay, I can't justify myself buying the Chanel lol. I got this dupe on amazon and the quality is insane. It has such similar details even down to the mixed media chain.
