That’s where the glorious world of dupes comes in, baby! I was scrolling through eBay (cause, duh, budget queen here) and then BAM! There it was: “Baggu x Sandy Liang Mini Bow Bag in Red “Candy Apple”” – or at least that’s what the listing *said*. You gotta be careful tho, cause sometimes they be shady.
Then I stumbled on this other listing, something like “Cute Purses Small Shoulder Bag for Women Y2k Purse Crescent Bag Bow” – okay, the naming convention is a bit… intense, but the picture looked promising. It was red, it was bow-y, it was giving *coquette aesthetic* vibes, which is basically the whole point, right?
Honestly, I’m kinda torn. Like, the OG Baggu is probably gonna be, like, *way* better quality. But, is it *that* much better? Is it worth skipping a few lattes and maybe even a brunch or two? Prob not.
The eBay one seems alright, and I saw a review that says “5.0 out of 5 stars Cute BAGGU Dupe Shoulder Bag!” Okay, that’s a good sign, right? Reviewed recently too, which is a plus. But like, “cute BAGGU dupe?” Are we even allowed to *say* that? I dunno. The internet’s a weird place.
I mean, let’s be real, a lot of the time, these “dupes” are just… knock-offs. But sometimes, you find a gem. A little red, bow-clad gem that doesn’t break the bank. And honestly, that’s good enough for me. I think I’m gonna take the plunge on the Y2k purse crescent bag thingy. Fingers crossed it doesn’t fall apart after a week. If it does, I’ll just glue it back together. We’re resourceful like that.
