First off, Coperni. Like, *Coperni*. They dropped the Air Swipe bag (99% air, apparently?!) and those devil horn glass bags a while back, and the internet just *lost it*. I mean, who wouldn’t? They’re like, wearable art, right? But also… *glass*. Practical? Nah. Stunning? Absolutely. Bank account-friendly? HA! That’s where the dupes come in, baby.
Now, I’m not usually one for knock-offs. I mean, supporting the original artist and all that jazz. But let’s be real, ain’t nobody got time for a $3000 glass handbag unless you’re, like, a Kardashian or something. And even then… I’d be too afraid to, you know, *use* it. Imagine dropping it! Nightmare fuel.
So, Mango. (I’m getting there, I swear!) Mango, being the sneaky affordable fashion genius that it is, has definitely been *inspired* by these Coperni creations. I haven’t seen a *direct* glass bag dupe (and tbh, I’m not sure I *want* one after my anxiety-fueled rant about dropping), but they do have a bunch of structured, almost architectural-looking bags that kinda give off the same vibe. You know, that futuristic, minimalist chic thing.
Think clean lines, interesting shapes, maybe some metallic accents. They’re not gonna be identical, obvi, but you can totally snag a Mango bag that captures the *essence* of Coperni’s aesthetic without taking out a second mortgage. Plus, you can probably actually carry your phone and keys in them, which is a bonus.
Honestly, I think the whole “dupe” thing is kinda complicated. On one hand, yeah, support the creators! On the other hand, democratize fashion! Let everyone have a little slice of the high-fashion pie, even if it’s a slightly imperfectly baked slice from Mango.
