So, while I’m not advocating for straight-up knock-offs, there are some seriously stylish, more budget-friendly alternatives that have been inspired by luxury that are definitely worth checking out.
I’ve put together a collection of different styles to help you achieve that designer look on a budget — from totes and crossbody bags to textured and everything in between. Let’s dive into some of my current favourite finds that give off that designer vibe.
Woven bag.
You’ve probably seen those chic woven bags everywhere, right? That distinctive weaved leather technique, the Intrecciato, put Bottega Veneta on the map back in the 70s. It’s been a style staple and inspiration for countless brands since. But if dropping big bucks on a designer woven bag isn’t your thing and you’re happy with a stylish alternative, let me introduce you to the latest collab that’s making waves: Prene x Rozalia Russian.
This bag collection is stylish (check), practical (washable!), and thoughtfully made (vegan-friendly, anyone?). Enter Prene. Their bags are made from recycled neoprene, and the new collection is all about that woven aesthetic we adore, combined with handwoven, lightweight, washable, and vegan pieces that come with a bonus matching purse/crossbody strap.
There are three woven bag styles in the collection, The Aubrey, The Adler, and the Argo and they all come in three colourways: black, cocoa and taupe, ranging from $199 to $219.
