And then BAM! You see this little blurb about a shortyLOVE bag. A “plush and practical small cosmetic bag”? Okay, my ears are perked. “Made to last, with details you’ll love”? Okay, NOW you’re talking. I’m already picturing myself shoving my favorite lipstick and emergency concealer in there, ready to tackle the world (or at least, you know, that awkward office meeting).
So, is it a Balenciaga dupe? Honestly, that’s kinda the wrong question, IMO. It’s not trying to BE Balenciaga. It’s trying to be… good. A good, useful, and (let’s be real) cute-ass bag that doesn’t require you to sell a kidney.
The whole “no one knows it’s Balenciaga” comment? I see that in the Reddit thread. It’s like, yeah, we all appreciate a good bag, but sometimes you just want something that whispers quality, not screams designer. You feel me?
I saw someone mention “dupe,” but the shortyLOVE thing seems to be going for more of an inspired-by vibe, maybe? Like, it hits the same “small, useful, kinda luxe” notes, but without the baggage (pun intended) of a huge logo and a four-figure price tag.
Personally, I think that’s kinda smart. I mean, who *needs* another logo bag? We’re all trying to curate our own personal style, not just be walking billboards, y’know? Plus, the fact that it’s “made to last”? That’s a HUGE selling point. I’m so over buying cheap stuff that falls apart after, like, a week.
Now, I haven’t actually *seen* a shortyLOVE bag in person, so I can’t vouch for the *actual* quality, but the description sounds promising. And honestly, even if it’s not a *perfect* dupe, the fact that it’s plush, practical, and looks travel-ready? That’s enough to pique my interest.
