Splurge or Save: 4 Drool-Worthy Designer Trends for Less
The Dior Saddlebag. Those Louis Vuitton sneakers. The “it” items spotted all over Instagram aren’t always priced for the normal non-influencer crowd—aka they’re way out of our budget. But that doesn’t mean we don’t want in on the trends. And since we probably can’t count on winning the lottery any time soon, we rounded up four designer pieces and their equally chic, much less expensive doppelgangers. Have at ‘em.

Dior Saddlebag
Whether or not you were actually at fashion week, we’re sure you saw the pictures of everyone bringing this 2000s staple back from the archives. Thanks to classic leather or monogram styles and a size that’s actually practical, we can totally justify jumping on the bandwagon.

Louis Vuitton Archlight Sneaker
We knew dad sneakers were in style, but even Louis Vuitton went for it (and they really went for it). Often paired with the Dior Saddle Bag, these babies are making a case for functional fashion. And, dare we say we’re here for it? Hey, anything for comfort.

Nike ($100)
Jeffrey Campbell ($145)
Gucci Belt Bag
No longer reserved for tourists, this style is not only super practical, but also right in tune with the wide belt trend. Cinch it around a flowy midi dress to define your waist, or slide it through your belt loops to make jeans look that much cooler.

Shrimps Antonia Beaded Handbag
Nostalgiaaa. This bag brings back everything that was so fun about the ‘90s. If the Shrimps version is a little out of your budget, you can still get in on the Instagram craze with one of the many super cute knock-offs. Keep it understated with pearls and metallics or go all in with a multi-colored version.
