Save vs. Splurge: 6 Designer Bags for Less
I can love and appreciate a designer bag, but when a brand comes out with the same look for 1/5 of the price, sometimes the affordable one wins. If you’re not ready to splurge on designer bags, don’t worry about it because I’ve rounded up some ones that look designer but won’t break the bank. This is the first of a new series called Save vs. Splurge, where I find cheaper alternatives to expensive items. Let’s start from the most expensive one to the one that’s less than $20.

1. Bottega Veneta Andiamo Dupe
I know Amazon has dupes of this exact one, but this Quince one is beautifully inspired by it. It still looks designer and is made with high-quality materials, but it’s much more affordable. Looks stunning as an everyday bag or as a small work bag.
2. Loro Piana Extra Pocket L19 Dupe
Dare I say the dupe is better? I love how structured these cosmetic bags look. They are small but make such a statement to any outfit. Perfect for a date when you just need your phone and lip gloss, because who needs a wallet, right ladies?
3. Coach Brooklyn Bag 28 Dupe
Okay, now we’re getting to the actual affordable bags. This one from Target gives the same vibes as the Coach Brooklyn Bag but only $35! It is also available in white faux leather and tan faux suede.
4. Goyard Artois MM Bag Dupe
This is inspired by the most sought-after tote bag, and it looks so good! It fits up to a 16-inch laptop, making it the perfect work bag. Also, comes in multiple colors, including their very popular dark green color.
5. The Row 90’s Bag Dupe
A small shoulder bag that’s also a crossbody. Who doesn’t love a two-for-one deal! As a shoulder bag, it’s great for date night. As a crossbody bag, it’s perfect for running errands. It also comes in a stunning brown suede color.
6. Longchamp Le Pliage Cosmetics Case Dupe
I love the Longchamp Le Pliage Cosmetics Case, but this one from Amazon looks exactly like it plus comes with a strap! The Longchamp one doesn’t, so you have to buy it separately. Amazon has this one in a ton of colors, too.
