So, what’s a girl (or guy!) to do when you want that luxe feel without, ya know, selling a kidney? Enter: the glorious world of Bottega lookalikes. And listen, I’m not talking about those super obvious fakes that look like they were made in someone’s basement. I’m talking about the *good* stuff. The ones that give you that “expensive but make it affordable” vibe.
I’ve been on the hunt for a decent dupe for ages. Like, YEARS. For real. I’m tired of lugging around this bulky wallet. Need somethin’ compact, somethin’ medium-sized, somethin’ that doesn’t scream “I’m broke!” but also doesn’t *actually* make me broke. Get me?
I saw something about the Bottega Veneta Small Loop Camera Bag, and how Madewell’s The Puff is supposed to be a kinda alternative. Maybe a little bit. I’m really more interested in the wallets, though.
The thing is, it’s not just about the looks. It’s about the feel, too. Like, does the leather *feel* good? Does it feel like it’ll fall apart after a week? That’s a HUGE deal. I’m kinda picky, I guess. I also really really really love finding a good deal. Like, seriously.
And let’s be honest, finding a decent Bottega Veneta wallet lookalike is like finding a unicorn riding a skateboard. It’s rare, but when you find it? *Pure bliss*. I’ve seen a few, but I haven’t found the one yet. I think I’m looking for a bifold. Maybe something slim. I dunno, still figuring it out.
