I think we can all agree that designer items are a nice to have, but not necessarily in the budget, read – super expensive! The summer sunnies for less post was pretty well received so I thought I’d do another round with some shoes & purses (my favorite)! If it’s a pair of jeans or a closet staple then I certainly don’t mind paying a little more to have it for a long time, but when it comes to trendier pieces where I like the design, but don’t want to spend a fortune for something that might not be “in style” in a year!
I can’t even get over how similar some of these pieces are! When I was putting the collage together I had a hard time figuring out which one was which at first glance!
- I’ve really gotten into loafers and I love how clean it looks with a pair of skinny jeans. Gucci loaferscome in at $650 vs a save option for $24! Of course it is slightly different with a pointed toe vs. rounded and the save option isn’t real leather, but it’s pretty close at first glance! I also really like these pink ones for $26 – actually ordered them so I hope they fit!
- If there was a shoe that I was seriously considering splurging on it would be these Gucci mules but at $795 I think I’ll pass and opt for these metallic ones for $37! I really hope they get restocked in my size in black because I know I’d get a ton of wear out of them!
- I had the hardest time telling the difference between these wedge espadrilles – if it wasn’t in the correct column I don’t think you’d be able to tell either! Biggest difference – price! One is $37 and one is $160!
- Scrolled through Instagram lately?! If so then you’ve probably seen the Cult Gaia bag because to be honest the price point isn’t as high as other designer bags at $228, but this is definitely a trendier item and I’m not 100% sure how things don’t fall out, but I found a dupe on Amazon for $63!
- The Chole “Faye” handbag has been around for a couple of years now, but the price is STEEP and I’m not sure it’s a forever bag for me so when I saw this almost identical dupe in a pretty grey I was pretty excited. I read the reviews and it says that the suede catches color pretty easily – so it would be smart to safe guard it like you would with suede shoes.

If you see me sporting any of the above, then you know it’s the “save” option😂! What do you normally opt to splurge on vs. save?
I can't get over how much alike all these items look! You definitely nailed it with those save options!
I always love a good save/splurge. Those silver slides are so fun and pretty!! Fun finds sweet lady!
You have such a knack for finding great dupes! I'm all about saving where I can- especially in trend pieces 🙂
So true! I can't justify spending hundreds of dollars when there's a dupe out there that looks the same. Love the wedges and the dainty purse! Emily @ Martinis & Bikinis
Those wedges are a good one! I love my Cult Gaia bag, definitely one of my favorite purchases from last year!
I love those wedges, and you did a great job finding exact lookalikes! So fun!
These are all such great dupes! I can't tell the difference between the Marc Fisher wedges and the dupes and can we talk about how gorgeous that dupe for the Cult Gaia bag is?! Love it! <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes
It's crazy how the saves can look just as good! I usually save on bags and tops. I like to splurge on jeans and shoes because I know I'll wear them out, plus I pick classic styles.

Wow!! You did an incredible job at finding dupes for all these designer pieces! I, too, would have hard time determining which is which! I love the Gucci silver mule dupes the most, GORGEOUS! Thanks for sharing, beauty, and I hope you have the best day!

xoxo cheshire kat
The Gucci loafers are top of my wish list, but I also love those save option! Can't get over the Chloe look a like. It's a spitting image!
Wow all of those really look so identical! Sometimes it's nice to splurge to buy quality that would last a long time, but other times you don't need to! Love this post!
Sarah at MeetTheShaneyfelts
What a great roundup! I love those little Gucci slides but the dupes look pretty good too!
xo, Kristina
The wedges really look so similar! I love the chloe dupe too!
These dupes are amazing! And that was the first time I had a hard time telling the difference between those wedge espadrilles too. There are a lot of great dupes out there, but that wins all the prizes <3

I am ALL FOR cheaper versions of high end brands! Thanks for sharing these.
Yeah I love you… Not only do I love splurge vs. save – bring it on, but I've COVETED that Gaia bag from very far afar… THANK YOU.
Can't wait for the next one.. jewelry perhaps??? And if you see how I make one of those tassels (but with the harder feel vs. soft floss – I'd love it!!!)

I cannot even believe how EXACT those wedges are!!!! I think every fashion blogger in the entire universe has those and I have been wanting some but refuse to pay that much for them. The ones from Shein are PERFECT and SO much cheaper! Dang girl, you did a good job finding some lookalikes.
This types of posts are always so helpful ! Your Whole Handbag is gorgeous however that identical dupe in grey is gorgeous too !
Umm these are incredible! Such close dupes!
You're so right, I can't tell a difference between the wedges! And I can't even imagine spending $200 on a pair of shoes, but I would totally spend $60!
DANG! Those purses are EXACT copies!
The Adored Life
I mean the wedges are spot on – really dupes!! So helpful. Thanks B!
These steals are so good!! They look spot on!

That's crazy how similar they look!! I'm totally a fan of finding a good deal but I do like a nice piece of clothing or a nice bag every now and then!
All of these dupes are so good! I'm swooning over those metallic mules!

that last bag is so cute!! xo jillian – cornflake dreams
So many great steals!! Those wedges look exactly the same and I don't think anyone would know the difference. I cannot get over how much those designer wedges are, so over priced. Love that bag but I'm afraid I would break it after one use.
I'm all about a good hack. Especially when it saves a lot of money – you can save it & do one good splurge! 🙂
Such a great round up Biana! I love being able to get a higher end look for less. I'm loving those Gucci loafers for Fall!

I love a save/splurge post even when I'm not in the market for anything on the list.
These are all so close!!!!! I love a good dupe post. Those pink slippers??? OMG I need those!
Amazing dupe finds! I can't deny that I like investing on designer pieces that I know would last for years. But these are gorgeous picks too!

Oh wow you did an excellent job with this. Truly the dupes really look like the real thing. Those Gucci kicks are killer though.
