Okay, so, like, let’s be real. Lululemon is amazing. But also, my wallet cries a little every time I even *look* at their store. That’s where Costco swoops in, bless their bulk-buying hearts. Apparently, the rumors are true: Costco’s got the hookup on Lululemon belt bag dupes and people are freaking out, and honestly, *same*.
I’ve been seeing SO much buzz on Reddit’s r/lululemon (shout out to my fellow addicts!). Everyone’s talking about these Lole unisex bags, and Danskin’s latest crossbody situation, both supposedly trying to channel the iconic Everywhere Belt Bag vibes.
The Lole one, I guess, is like $12.99? TWELVE NINETY-NINE! My coffee costs more than that! And people are saying the fit’s actually *better* than the Lululemon one. I mean, I always thought the LLL one was a *tad* boxy myself. Like, it’s cute, but sometimes it just…sits there. The reddit user even posted pics to compare the fabrics – the LLL one’s probably gonna last longer, obvs, but still! At that price point? Gimme three.
Then there’s the Danskin one. I haven’t seen as much about this one, but it’s another crossbody bag contender. Apparently, Danskin’s been trying to mimic Lululemon for a while now. Like, remember when they were straight-up copying Lulu’s legging colors? Waterdrop, Vintage Plum, diamond dye… They didn’t even change the *names*! Bold move, Danskin, bold move. You gotta respect the hustle, I guess.
Honestly, I haven’t actually *seen* these bags in my local Costco yet. (I swear, sometimes I feel like my Costco is just selling toilet paper and oversized jars of pickles.) But the fact that people are even considering these as viable alternatives is saying something.
Look, I’m not saying these are *identical* to the real deal. Let’s be real, nothing truly replicates that Lululemon ~aura~. But if you’re trying to rock the hands-free, stylish-but-practical look without completely emptying your bank account, then these Costco dupes are definitely worth checking out. Plus, you can grab a hot dog and a churro while you’re there. It’s a win-win, really.
