You know, it’s kinda crazy how much some of these bags cost. I saw a Prada Cahier – you know, the velvet one? – and I swear, it was more than my rent. That’s where the dupes swoop in to save the day. Apparently, some folks found some velvety black and burgundy ones that are supposed to be pretty darn close. Score!
And it’s not just the Cahier. That Prada Cleo? Super chic, right? But again, $$$! Luckily, there are Prada Cleo bag dupes and knockoffs out there. High-quality ones, allegedly. I haven’t personally tested *every single one*, ya know? But I’m definitely gonna be looking into it.
Speaking of bags, have you seen the Prada nylon ones? They’re like, the “it” bag right now. And the 2005 re-edition? Ugh, obsessed. But thankfully, there are Prada nylon bag dupes and Prada 2005 re-edition bag dupes floating around. I mean, who wants to drop a grand (or more!) on a nylon bag? Seriously. I’d rather spend that on a plane ticket, tbh.
Oh, and it’s not just bags! Did you know there are Prada loafer dupes too? I’m not a huge loafer person myself, but if I *were*… you bet I’d be hitting up the dupe market.
And okay, this might sound random, but perfume dupes are a *thing*. I guess there’s a Prada L’Homme, and people have found some “duftzwillinge” (apparently that’s German for “fragrance twins,” which is kinda cool). Someone mentioned “Evoke Gold For Him Ajmal” as a possible dupe, but I don’t know, I’d have to smell it myself to be sure. Fragrance is so subjective, ya know?
Basically, what I’m saying is, don’t feel bad if you can’t afford the real deal. There are tons of alternatives out there, from handbags to shoes to perfumes. You can still look fabulous without breaking the bank. And honestly, sometimes it’s more fun to find a good dupe than to just buy the expensive thing outright. It’s like a treasure hunt!
