So, what’s a fashion-forward person to do? Find some *dupes*, obvi. But not like, *obvious* fakes, we’re talking bags that capture the *vibe*, the *aesthetic*, without completely ripping off the design.
Honestly, the search can be a bit of a rabbit hole, right? You’re scrolling through pages and pages of… well, let’s just say not-so-amazing “inspired by” bags. And the leather quality?? Don’t even get me *started*. You end up just wanting the real thing even more.
But don’t despair! There are actually some pretty cool alternatives out there if you know where to look. I mean, think about what you actually LOVE about the Miu Miu bag you’re lusting after. Is it the slouchy shape? The cargo pockets? The top handle? The quirky color?
If it’s the slouch, maybe check out some contemporary brands that are doing cool, unstructured bags. There’s some great, less-known brands on Etsy, too, if you don’t mind wading through the masses.
And those cargo pockets? So hot right now! You might get lucky finding a vintage bag with similar details. I swear, I saw a pretty cool cargo-inspired bag at a thrift store last week. Now I wish I’d bought it, lol.
Honestly, I’m also kinda eyeing some of the Prada bags. The Loewe Amazona looks good too!
Thing is, finding a *perfect* dupe is kinda impossible. And maybe even a lil’ bit boring? Like, who wants to be a carbon copy? Instead, try to find something that speaks to you, that has its own unique charm, but still captures that Miu Miu ~essence~.
