These 11 Designer Dupes Prove You Can Look Stylish AF Without Blowing Your Budget

Dupes for LV, Gucci, Prada and more!

Staff Writer, Studio

Narcity may receive a small commission if you purchase something we recommend in this article, which was created by the Commerce team. Items are in stock and prices are confirmed at the time of publishing, but they can change at any time.

As much as we love designer duds, we love saving money more.

If you, too, dig the style but not the hefty price tag that comes with it, then these dupes might pique your interest. Some cost less than $30 but they'll still make you feel like a million bucks.

Keep in mind that these are all dupes from stores that sell similar styles. They're not counterfeit items and we don't endorse buying counterfeit goods.

YIKOEE Mini Handbags With Croc Pattern

Balenciaga (left), Amazon Canada (right)

Price: $26.99

Details: The Balenciaga Ghost Sling Bag (left, $1,690) is a stylish little purse that's fancy enough for date night but still casual for running errands. If you like a zipper closure instead of a flap, you can get this similar one from Amazon Canada for much, much cheaper.

Steve Madden Harlin Sandal

Gucci (left), Steve Madden (right)

Price: $90

Details: The Gucci Rubber Slide Sandal (left) is the shoe that'll help you channel your inner Polly Pocket, but $455 is a little steep for a sandal you probably won't wear that often. Instead, grab these super similar ones from Steve Madden on days you want to make a bold impression.

$90 On STEVE MADDEN

Simons Nylon Mini Bag With Pouch

Prada (left), Simons (right)

Price: $59

Details: The Prada 2005 Re-Edition 2005 Re-Nylon Bag (left) is a nostalgic design that runs for $1,920 that Canadian retailer Simons created a near-identical dupe of. Steve Madden also makes a similar bag for $73.50 in other colours besides black.

$59 On SIMONS

Steve Madden Valan High Heel

Louboutin (left), Steve Madden (right)

Price: $140

Details: The Louboutin Follies Strass pumps (left, $1,445) are a gorgeous pair of special occasion shoes. For just a tenth of the price, you can find this comparable pair from Steve Madden you can rock during wedding season.

$140 On STEVE MADDEN

Wishbone Collection Faith Boot

SSENSE (left), Browns (right)

Price: $328

Details: While the Prada Black Rois Boots (left) will run you a casual $2,005, you can find a similar pair online for a fraction of the price. You won't be compromising on quality though, because The Wishbone Collection is Browns' exclusive Italian-designed collection.

$328 On BROWNS

Matt & Nat Pico Bag

SSENSE (left), Matt & Nat (right)

Price: $62.50 ($125)

Details: The teeny-tiny Jacquemus Le Chiquito bag (left) barely fits a lipstick, gum and some credit cards—but it is so darn cute to look at! At $600 bucks though, you can save your money and opt for this equally micro bag from Matt & Nat instead.

$62.50 On MATT & NAT

Amazon Canada Oversized Sunglasses 

Gentle Monster (left), Amazon Canada (right)

Price: $19.99

Details: The dupe of the Gentle Monster Her 01 sunglasses (left, $259 USD) is nearly identical and the only difference I can spot is the logo. You can feel more at ease with this inexpensive pair if you're a serial glasses misplacer.

$19.99 On AMAZON CANADA

adidas Stan Smith Vulc Shoes

SSENSE (left), adidas (right)

Price: $90

Details: The Alexander McQueen Oversized Sneakers (left, $620) are expensive for an everyday shoe that'll probably meet some wear and tear over time (hello, Canadian weather!). The Stan Smith Originals on the right are made with a similar fabric but it's a closer match to the sole.

$90 On ADIDAS CANADA

Michael Kors Jet Set Medium Nylon Gabardine Crossbody Bag

Louis Vuitton (left), Michael Kors (right)

Price: $428

Details: This Michael Kors bag caught my eye since it looked really familiar. I realized it reminded me of the Louis Vuitton Multipoche (left, $2,730) that has a bunch of add-on pouches that you can mix and match.

$428 On MICHAEL KORS

Steve Madden Kenley Heels

Bottega Venetta (left), Steve Madden (right)

Price: $130

Details: These gorgeous Bottega Venetta Curves (left, $2,050) are a fashion-lovers dream but you can find a way cheaper and more practical shoe online. The pair on the right also comes in brown, lavender, silver with rhinestones, and taupe.

$130 On STEVE MADDEN

Matt & Nat Azur Vegan Bucket Bag

Celine (left), Matt & Nat (right)

Price: $87 ($145)

Details: The Celine Sangle Small Bucket Bag (left, $2,450) is definitely on our If I Won The Lottery Wishlist, but the dupe from Matt & Nat is the perfect vegan alternative that comes with a matching pouch. Talk about bang for your buck!
