Give Your Friend A Prada Bag This Year
The DHGate Gift Guide For Those Who Can’t Afford Designer Prices.
Ever since I was a child, I’ve had a expensive tastes. Instinctively, I pick out the most expensive item in the store — never fail. I adore designer, but unfortunately I don’t make designer money.
As someone who appreciates the finer things in life, I love the idea of treating yourself. My friends are all talking about their first “Big Girl Bag” purchases — which Louis Vuitton they want, or that new Gucci purse.
And while designer bags make for the ideal gift — especially for milestone birthdays or big events like graduations…I know what it’s like to want a bag and not have the funds for it.
Imagine walking down New York City’s infamous Canal Street — where the sidewalks are lined with designer dupes. Chanel bags to your left, even the coveted Hermes Birkin is sitting right there.
Where Can I Find Designer Bag Dupes?
Well, the online version of Canal Street is called DHGate. The site features duplicates of all sorts: sports memorabilia, designer fashion pieces, and more.
Men may recognize the site as the place where he and his friends bought 20 C.J. Stroud jerseys.
Women may know it as the viral TikTok sensation where girls can get a $3,500 Dior tote bag for a mere $50!
I own several replicated bags from the site, and I’ve never paid more than $100 for near-identical replicas. It’s also great for the person who is too worried about losing their expensive designer wallet.
Just yesterday, a friend asked me where I got my Prada purse…I was thrilled to reveal that it was a dupe from DHGate and it only cost $30. She had no idea it was a fake.
I wish I could give everyone in my life (including myself) a designer bag for the holidays this year, but I simply can’t….
Unless I use DHGate.
No one will know that your sister’s toting around an imitation Hermes bag, they’ll just think she has great taste.
To many people’s horror, I use my faux Dior tote as a beach bag. I’ve gotten terrified glances and side-eyes while people ask if I can really drop it on the sand — quelle horreur! I smile and nod, as if I have the money to take my precious Dior to the beach.
It’s giving the gift of style, confidence, and success without breaking the bank. With the bag dupe game, there is no shame.
Until you’re ready to make that Big Girl designer purchase, shop DHGate and try out some styles that work for you. Sure, the quality is a little different and it won’t last as long…but you get what you pay for.
A bag is a terrific gift…no matter if it’s truly Gucci or not. If you want to get someone in your life the bag of their dreams, but you’re on a budget, here are the best designer bag dupes from DHGate!
Prada Nylon Bag
The key to DHGate is ensuring the ratings are solid. You want to pick a bag with a few hundred ratings if possible. Most of the time, the site will provide highly rated bags in the first few suggestions.
Shipping is relatively quick with DHGate, but don’t be shocked if it takes a few weeks for the bag to arrive. This Prada Nylon is identical to the one I purchased. It comes with multiple strap options, and looks exactly like the real thing.
A Chanel Purse
While I’d love to get a Chanel bag, I don’t have 10 grand. I’ll have to live out my dreams through DHGate until a benefactor decides to gift me with one.
This leather dupe for the classic quilted bag is perfect for those who’ve always yearned for a quintessential Chanel look. It says expensive without trying too hard.
Marc Jacobs The Tote Bag
Tote bags are a sensational gift for students, girls who are constantly running errands around town, or luxury lovers in general. The Marc Jacobs Tote Bag is a classic for a reason, and this will get you one at a fraction of the price.
I use mine as a gym bag because it’s equally spacious and chic.
The Classic Louis Lover
Everyone knows the iconic Louis Vuitton logo that’s slapped all over their leather goods. A good Louis bag is a staple piece for leather lovers and fashion fiends alike. But the price…
This DHGate model is only around $31. I shall say that again. $31 bucks gets you the Louis bag you’ve always wanted without spending your entire paycheck.
Dior Tote
If you need something a little more capacious that can fit your clothes for the weekend, or to bring to work everyday, the Dior tote is for you. Or, if you’re like me…bring it to the beach!
That’s the beauty of DHGate. These bags aren’t actually real, so you can be a bit reckless with them if you wish.
