We Found The Cutest Dupes For 11 Viral Designer Bags

The old saying goes that your purse should never be worth more than the amount of cash you have to put inside it. But if you follow a lot of fashion-forward influencers and celebrities, that rule might be a tempting one to break. It seems like everyone has a sprawling collection of the most stylish – and expensive – bags on the market. In comparison, your more affordable purses can feel dowdy.

But fear not! With a little digging, you can definitely find affordable bags with the same vibe as your favorite high-end purses. This time, we did the digging so you don’t have to. If you have thousands and thousands of dollars sitting around for a bunch of designer handbags, don’t let us stop you from spending them. But if you’re looking for options that are a little gentler on your wallet, you’re welcome. Here are 11 irresistible dupes for the most sought-after designer bags.

Instead of the Bottega Veneta Small Parachute Bag, Buy the Anthropologie Woven Mini Hollace Tote

It seems like everyone is obsessed with Bottega Veneta these days. Kendall Jenner and A$AP Rocky are starring in their campaigns, Sofia Richie is carrying their totes 24/7, and every influencer is wearing their futuristic jewelry. But Bottega isn’t cheap – the Small Parachute Bag will set you back a whopping $4,150. Luckily, Anthroplogie’s Woven Mini Hollace Tote ($90) has the same aesthetic with a much kinder price tag.

Instead of the Goyard Anjou PM Bag, Buy the Longchamp Le Pliage Green L Tote Bag

Goyard is another brand with major hype, thanks to its European prestige and refusal to engage in e-commerce. But $2,960 for the Anjou PM is a hard sell. If you want a European-made tote that’s stylish, spacious, and indestructible – yet affordable – check out Longchamp’s Le Pliage Green L Tote Bag ($155). I’ve had mine for a year now, and it’s still fresh as new.

Instead of the Gucci Jackie 1961 Small Shoulder Bag, Buy the Charles & Keith Cesia Metallic Accent Shoulder Bag

If you’re a First Lady style enthusiast, you’ve definitely heard of the Jackie bag. Mrs. Kennedy was known to carry the first version of this handbag all around New York City in the ‘70s. A few years ago, Gucci re-issued the bag and renamed it in her honor. But while Jackie herself might not have balked at the $3,700 price, the rest of us do. That’s why I’d rather wear the Charles & Keith Cesia Metallic Accent Shoulder Bag ($76).

Instead of the Hermès Birkin 35, Buy the Michael Kors Hamilton Medium Leather Satchel

What Jane Birkin intended to be a versatile accessory for the on-the-go woman has become the flashiest status symbol of the 21st century — with a flashy price tag to match. This pre-owned Birkin 35 is being sold for $16,500 on FWRD, but the nearly identical Hamilton Medium Leather Satchel is going for just $149 at the Michael Kors outlet (73% off the original $558 price!)

Instead of the Prada 1978 Nylon Mini Bag, Buy the Guess Twiller Top Handle Pouch Bag

This re-edition purse ($1,620) – original circa 1978 – is the most precious little drawstring bag. Can’t you imagine this cutie bouncing on your wrist while you run errands all about town? Luckily, the Guess Twiller Top Handle Pouch Bag is just as cute, but only $128.

Instead of the Celine Medium Ava Triomphe Bag, Buy the Songmont Small Luna Bag

The Celine Medium Ava Triomphe Bag ($2,600) has what I would call the perfect bag silhouette: a round body, generous underarm space, and a top opening. What I wouldn’t call perfect? That price tag. I’d rather buy the Songmont Small Luna Bag, which has the same shape but is much more affordable at $299.

Instead of the Fendi Baguette Fuschia Sequined Bag, Buy the Lola + the Boys Hot Pink Paillette Shoulder Bag

The Fendi Baguette, which debuted in 1997 and became famous thanks to Sex and the City, has long been the ultimate it girl bag. And this sequin iteration is perfect for a night out on the town. Don’t want to pay Fendi’s asking price of $5,000? The Lola + the Boys Hot Pink Paillette Shoulder Bag ($48) is just as fun.

Instead of the Loro Piana Extra Bag L27, Buy the Laflore Paris Moimoi Case

Is it a purse? Is it a toiletry case? No one really knows. What we do know is that it’s the most hyped accessory of the summer – and that its $3,500 price tag is crazy. If the silhouette of Loro Piana’s bag appeals to you, but the price makes you shudder, then check out the Laflore Paris Moimoi Case ($269).

Instead of the Bottega Veneta Medium Acro Tote Bag, Buy the Belle & Bloom Long Way Home Woven Tote

Yet another Bottega Veneta tote – I told you their bags were hyped. The Medium Acro Tote Bag ($3,900) is a structured and sophisticated alternative to Bottega’s other slouchy styles. Just as sophisticated is the Belle & Bloom Long Way Home Woven Tote ($181). I dare you to tell me these bags aren’t identical.

Instead of the Celine Claude Chain Shoulder Bag, Buy the Coach Tabby Chain Clutch

The Celine Claude Chain Shoulder Bag ($3,200) is the perfect hands-free clutch in this season’s color. But the Tabby Chain Clutch by Coach ($295) definitely gives Celine’s version a run for its money. Not only is Coach’s leather quality leagues beyond any other brand in its price range, but their site also gives you the option to monogram your bag for free, something Celine doesn’t do.

Instead of the Prada Natural Crochet Tote Bag, Buy the J. Crew Cadiz Hand-Knotted Rope Tote

A crochet tote is the ultimate vacation accessory, and Prada’s crochet tote ($2,050) is a fashion fan favorite (Sofia Richie wore an iteration on her honeymoon). To get Sofia’s look for less, wear the J. Crew Cadiz Hand-Knotted Rope Tote ($90). You can use the $1,960 you saved by not buying the Prada bag to upgrade another element of your vacation instead.

In a better economy, we might be better able to rationalize splurging on a $2,000 bag to mark a major milestone. But with housing and grocery costs through the roof, huge fashion indulgences are out of the question. That being said, living through a significant economic slump doesn’t mean we don’t deserve to have beautiful things in our closet. After all, when life stresses you out, the right handbag can make you giddy again. A smart shopper not only goes looking for dupes, but they find the absolute best ones that replicate the same quality and aesthetic of the original high-end item.
