5 Saint Laurent dupes if you love bags but you’re on a budget
While we admit splurging $2,500 on a bag is a regular fantasy of ours, the practical/rent-paying reality always seems to kick in after the ‘add to cart’ portion of the daydream. For those who dream of a YSL bag but are equally as tentative to take the financial plunge, check out these five Saint Laurent dupes that will satisfy those designer bag needs.
Dupe for the Saint Laurent "Collège" Shoulder Bag
Forever in style: Saint Laurent’s “Collège” shoulder bag. Defined by its quilted leather exterior and YSL logo at the flap, Saint Laurent’s refined “Collège” bag starts at $2,250. For a near-replica dupe at a fraction of the cost, Rebecca Minkoff’s “Edie” shoulder bag shares the classic style of the Saint Laurent original.

Dupe for the Saint Laurent "Lou" Bag
The Saint Laurent “Lou” leather crossbody bag is arguably one of the brand’s most coveted styles. Distinguishable by its quilted exterior, detachable tassel, and YSL hardware, the “Lou” bag starts at $725 and can go up to $2,390. For a less-expensive, equally as stylish alternative, see Tory Burch’s “Fleming” bag.

While it is officially called the “Le 5 à 7 Mini Leather Shoulder Bag”, is more often called the “Hobo” bag – and is currently one of the “it” bags. Because of it’s popularity, we’ve seen many brands jumping on this particular silhouette.

Dupe for the Saint Laurent "Sunset" Shoulder bag
While any girl would be lucky to swing Saint Laurent’s “Sunset” bag over her shoulder, for the average working gal, the $1,990 to $3,400 price tag may prove a little out of reach. For a similar style at a lesser cost, look to British brand, Mulberry and their chic satchel bags.
