First off, I saw somethin’ about MAC cosmetics pop up in my research, and my brain immediately went to…travel makeup bags! But then, I realized you probably mean a *literal* travel bag, not just a cute pouch for lipstick (although, those are important too, obvi). So, my bad.
Okay, so thinking bigger…duffels! I was scrolling and saw someone lookin’ for a dupe for a “Tobiq 60L travel duffel.” Honestly? I’ve never even *heard* of a Tobiq, but 60L sounds like a decent size for a weekend trip, or even longer if you’re a light packer (which, let’s be real, I’m *never*). So, keep your eye out for brands with similar sized duffels.
Then there’s the whole “Tote Bag” trend. Those Dior tote bags are *everywhere*, and they’re gorgeous. But, like, a small fortune. I saw something about “11 affordable Christian Dior Tote Bag dupes” floating around. Worth checking those out, I think. You can get the look without emptying your savings.
Speaking of alternatives to the Dior tote, I’m totally seeing a theme of “minimalist chic” with travel stuff lately. Tumi gets mentioned *a lot*. They’re kinda known for being like, super durable and functional. The kind of bag you can throw around and not worry about. But again, pricey.
Now, I also saw Monos mentioned. They seem like they’re trying to be all stylish and trendy. Hard shell luggage is cool if you’re into that, but I’ve always been more of a soft-sided person myself. Easier to shove into tight overhead compartments, you know?
Okay, so where does that leave us? My totally unprofessional (but heartfelt!) advice? Figure out what you *actually* need. Is it just a weekend bag? A carry-on suitcase? Something that looks really expensive but isn’t? Once you nail that down, you can start searching for specific dupes.
Don’t be afraid to check out discount stores either. You might find something surprisingly good quality. And honestly? A little bit of DIY customization can go a long way. Slap a cool patch on a plain bag, and boom – instant style upgrade!
