That’s where the magic of dupes comes in, my friend! Listen, I’m no expert, but I’ve done my fair share of internet sleuthing (read: scrolling endlessly through Instagram and questionable fashion blogs) and I’ve gotta share what I’ve found.
First off, the Chloe Tess bag. Seriously gorgeous, right? That distinctive circle detail…*chef’s kiss*. But the price tag? *major side-eye*. I saw a bunch of sites saying they found dupes ranging from like, $30 to $110. I’m honestly a little skeptical about the $30 ones, you know? Probably gonna look like it came outta a vending machine or somethin’. But hey, worth a shot if you’re brave! I’d probably lean towards the higher end of that range, just for quality’s sake, ya feel me?
And then there’s the Chloe Woody tote. Super trendy right now, everyone’s carrying it. The structured design is a big part of its appeal. I’ve seen some people raving about the Mark and Graham Equestrian Suede Crossbody Bag and the Fossil Harwell Small Flap Crossbody as alternatives. I’m not totally convinced they’re *exact* dupes, but they definitely capture a similar vibe, especially if you’re going for that equestrian/boho feel. Plus, Fossil generally makes decent stuff, so you’re probably getting a good bang for your buck there.
Okay, so here’s where I get a little rant-y. Sometimes, these “dupes” are just… not. Like, they’re vaguely similar in color or shape, but they’re missing the *it* factor. It’s all about the details, you know? The stitching, the hardware, the *je ne sais quoi*. So, be careful out there! Don’t just grab any old brown bag and call it a Chloe dupe. Do your research! Look at the pictures closely! Read the reviews!
And speaking of reviews, that reminds me of some Myer drops the price of bags similar to chloe during the summer. I will suggest you to keep an eye on this when you are choosing Chloe dupes.
Oh, and I almost forgot! The Chloe Pixie bag! That little crescent moon shape is so cute. I haven’t personally tracked down a dupe for this one, but I’m sure they’re out there. Just keep your eyes peeled!
