Yes, I guess I shouldn’t try to sound so certain...I’m not a copyright lawyer! Certainly I wouldn’t feel comfortable wearing anything that didn’t have some changes from the bag “homaging” the other.

act I don’t mind as long as I’m buying something legal and not counterfeit. I don’t mind if a Michael Kors is almost identi to a Chanel I’d get that bag
 
Okay call me crazy but i am very in favor of dupes or bags which look pretty similar to a crazy expensive bag. No matter how much craftsman ship there is an Hermès or Chanel. Unless you are super rich go for the alternative.
im planning to make this a series of threads and do a favor to all us not super rich girls who want a nice but don’t want to break the bank


the first of my series is the Hermes Kelly

and I’m starting with two alternatives

the first is from MANGO


the second from ToryBurch


i hope all you contribute with your choices.
 
and here I am with my series of getting the bag of your dreams spending less


purificación García



Michael Kors

ok these are alternatives to the classic flap Chanel the purificacion García has two sizes. Both sizes are Really good I got myself the smaller one but the bigger one which is not that big is ReaLily nice too.
the smaller fits your essentials very good.

a mini wallet, your sunglasses, a 6 inch phone, lipgloss/lipstick and face mask And ofcourse keys.


I recently I stopped carrying the face mask in my bag since I bought a chain to wear it as a necklace When I’m not wearing it on my face, The sanitizer well I take a bit of the one they offer at restaurants or at the mall.
so I don’t carry sanitizer or a face mask in my bag.

Does anyone know of an alternative to the Hermes Plume? I love the mini Plume but just can’t do it…even preloved they’re too much. I found a thread from 7 years ago but most of the recommendations there are no longer in production. TIA!

Maybe the Léo et Violette Petit Napoli or the Napoli? It's larger than the mini Plume and the top doesn't completely zip though, so it's not an exact match.

I actually saw a bag with similar design as I am browsing W concept bags. Like I said above, I have no idea if the quality of their bags are good because they are from independent boutiques overseas. But I love browsing through their website.

Not sure how much you want to spend, but Just Campagne’s Deville Mini comes to mind. It’s not quite as small though.
 
I saw this watermelon straw bag on one of the latest purseblog articles, and I saw a similar Kate Spade one recently too. Now that I look at it, they look pretty different but still both have circle top handles and are both watermelons! :tup: The Serpui one is $345 and the Kate Spade one is $149 (though it was originally $349 so the Serpui one was $4 cheaper before)
