I’m a designer girly but my bank account does not allow me to buy every single bag, shoe or accessory each new season. I have a few designer pieces that I treasure immensely but judging by the unreasonably rocketing prices and poorly made quality in the recent years, it is getting harder to convince me to fork out my hard earned money for a brand new designer piece especially in this economy.
If you have thousands of dollars to spend on every purse and shoe, good for you! Not all of us have that kind of luxury but that does not mean we can’t be resourceful and enjoy fashion. So with my knowledge of designer goods and the determination to save money, I have been scouring my favourite shopping platforms for some of the pieces on my wishlist and found the best dupes on Shopee.
Here is a whole outfit of designer dupes from Shopee and a price comparison. You’re welcome.

They are not made with the exact same material, cut or design of course but it’s close enough. Although they are a much affordable option, they are made quite well and if you follow care instructions and keep them well, you can use them for a long while.

This article got picked up by CNA Insider! This series is about how regular Singaporeans are saving money and looking for alternatives during hard economic times.
As someone who always had an avid interest in fashion, but not the wallet for the high price tags that some of these designer pieces come with, I went through great lengths in my younger days to attain them. Now, with a family and responsibilities, my priorities have shifted. Using my past experience and knowledge, I started looking for alternative ways to enjoy fashion, such as thrifting, vintage shopping, and the latest fad, dupe shopping that I regularly share on lovebellavida.com.
Do watch until the end where I take you through the process of how I go about choosing these alternative pieces from Emily in Paris at a fraction of the price, especially for Andrea Chong.
