Dupes, a girl on a budget’s best friend ever. For those who haven’t heard the term dupe, it basically refers to a much cheaper look alike of a designer brand. And who doesn’t love designer brands?
About 3 years ago, I had the bright idea to work a lot of hours and buy myself a Louis Vuitton Neverfull bag. Well about 2 days into what was about an 80-hour work week, I came to my senses and realized I valued my sanity more than a bag.
Ever since then, I’ve dreamed of buying that bag. I can’t exactly afford a $1,300+ bag. After many hours searching the internet, I found the perfect dupe. When I say perfect, I mean the only thing missing is the LV logo in block on the bag.
This bag is the one bag that I own that receives the most compliments. I’m a Kate Spade girl so I have many cute bags, but people honestly can’t tell that it’s not authentic Louis Vuitton. I even had a die-hard LV buyer help me when picking out the bag who agreed, that unless someone is standing on top of you, the bag looks spot on.
But hey, fashion over money when you’re still in school, right?!
I’ve been saving the best part for last, the bag is only $48 with free shipping on Amazon! Most dupes range from $250-300. I wasn’t opposed to paying some big bucks for a dupe if it looked identical. I couldn’t find any that looked similar enough to justify $250+.
Daisy Rose is the manufacturer, and boy do they have enough LV checkered dupes to fill your desire. The tote comes in white and brown. In April, when they rerelease the totes, they’ll be adding a black version.
They sell out very quick, but if you add the bag to your list on Amazon, they will send you an alert when it pops up. Daisy Rose also does an incredible job of staying up to date on their Instagram account and will always answer when Amazon is looking to release some bags.
Check out their other items too! I have the white checker key pouch. It hooks right onto my keys and its super convenient!
Where did you get your boots in the photo?? I’m in love with them!!
