First off, I gotta say, finding an exact *perfect* dupe is kinda…impossible. Celine’s got that certain *je ne sais quoi*, you know? That effortless cool. But! Don’t despair! There are definitely bags out there that capture the *vibe*.
I saw something about the Lo & Sons Pearl Crossbody being a good option. Apparently, it has that multi-zipped thing going on, like the Trio. I haven’t personally tried it, but $248 sounds way better than $1250, right? Plus, Lo & Sons is a pretty decent brand. I’ve heard good things about their laptop bags.
And then there’s the whole “Celine vibe” thing. Like, what even *is* the Celine vibe? I think it’s all about simplicity, clean lines, and quality materials (even if it’s faux leather…shhh!). That’s why I think you can find some decent contenders at places like Mango or Everlane. I saw something about a Mango crossbody bag being a dupe for a Celine canvas bag… maybe that’s worth checking out?
Honestly, the hunt for a dupe is part of the fun! It’s like a treasure hunt, but instead of gold, you’re finding a bag that won’t break the bank. I mean, let’s be real, sometimes paying full price for designer feels… I dunno, wasteful? Especially when you can find something that looks just as good (or, at least, pretty darn close) for a fraction of the price.
