Affordable, Designer-Inspired Dupe Handbags That Look Expensive
If you’re looking for the most extensive list of designer-inspired handbags on the Internet, look no further! You have arrived. I’m about to share some truly luxe-inspired handbags that have the designer look and feel without the designer price tag!
I’m typically not a label snob, but I do just LOVE the look to a designer handbag. It just feels luxurious and elevated. And it’s not the label that really makes it, it’s more the design of the actual bag! So couple those feelings with a love for finding the cheapest version of pretty much anything, and you can understand my love for bags that have this similar feel but for a fraction of the price!
The thing is, handbags are something that we use A LOT. So they can also go through a lot of wear and tear! I would honestly just be so nervous owning a bag that cost more than my mortgage payment and it would probably just sit in my closet out of fear of exposing it to the elements and ruining it. But my cheap alternatives?? Oh ya chuck that bad boy anywhere I can always buy a new one!
I have been checking out my recent analytics on Pinterest and my blog (nerd alert, but it’s how I figure out what content my readers actually like!), and the verdict is in! You guys LOVE a good designer dupe post! Turns out my post on Gucci belts for less and my post on designer jewelry dupes are two of my most visited posts! I try my best to go back and update these two posts as often as I can with new links because of their popularity. So although I wrote them back in early 2019, I continue to update the links through this current year (2021 right now)
ALSO a quick note: Designer dupes / knockoffs / counterfeit items are… morally questionable. They’re technically illegal to sell if the design is TOO close to the original design and infringes on the design patent. I’m a fan of the designer “inspired” pieces but I know some of you ladies are just down for the knockoff versions!
There is definitely a fine line sometimes, so just try to stay aware of the difference as a consumer. Given that you are here and looking for designer-inspired but still affordable handbags, I would suggest shying away from an exact replica/counterfeit item and either be okay with the cheaper/obviously fake version OR save up for the real deal.
Another option? Buy your designer bags pre-loved! (AKA used, but pre-loved sounds a lot nicer doesn’t it?) This way you’re getting the real deal, but at a discounted price! Most sites make sure to disclose the exact condition that the bag is in. Below I listed out some reliable sites to shop for pre-loved designer handbags!
Where to shop pre-loved designer handbags:
If you would rather buy the real thing but for cheaper, definitely check out these websites for some pre-loved but in good condition designer bag finds!!
Ok now that that’s out of the way, let’s get to the good stuff. Again these bags are NOT exact replicas but super cute, super affordable, and have that designer feel to them!
