If I could have a wardrobe full of covetable designer duds, I absolutely would, but unfortunately that’s just not realistic given my current shopping budget. (But, hey, a gal can dream.) Yet, my inner fashionista refuses to be deterred and thus, uncovering lookalikes for a fraction of the price has become one of my favorite activities, from handbags to accessories to this sleek little number that reminds me of Skims slip dress. Currently, I’ve set my sights on Amazon, and am more than pleased to report that the online retailer houses a slew of designer-inspired gems that won’t break the bank. And I’m more than happy to share all my hard work—no gatekeeping here! So without further ado, here are 22 Amazon finds in my cart that I thought were designer at first glance, starting at $12.

1. VesaNa Crossbody Bag

VesaNa

The ideal size for everyday adventures, this sleek crossbody will have everyone thinking you're sporting Longchamp like a true Parisian. It has just enough room for your phone, card case, sunglasses and lip balm, with everything nicely secured in a zippered compartment. It comes with a longer crossbody strap and a matching top handle, and reviewers say the faux-leather material looks and feels super luxurious IRL.

2. Dream Pairs Slingback Ballet Flats

Dream Pairs

I’ve been seeing the Ganni buckle ballerinas almost everywhere I turn (and now I’m sure you will too), so I’m really excited to find an affordable version of the trendy shoe. They’re crafted from a soft yet durable vegan leather that’ll hold up well while you parade around town on weekends, and they’ll photograph like a dream with their eyelet-adorned, chunky buckle straps. The slingback is another nice detail, especially if you want a flat shoe that’s guaranteed to stay on.

2. AIPPK Clover Pendant Necklace

AIPPK

Those classic clover necklaces from Van Cleef & Arpels have adorned the necks of royals and influencers alike. While the real thing can cost you over $2,000, this lookalike of the preppy staple is less than $20 and fits in with the whole tenniscore vibe. It comes in eight color options, but fair warning: It's not meant for daily wear, as the gold plating may fade over time.

4. Pumiey Slip Maxi Dress

Pumiey

What’s soft, blue and body-fitting all over? Yes, it’s this slip maxi. “[I] decided to buy this [dress] from Amazon and [was] pleasantly surprised,” says a satisfied customer. “It’s literally the exact same dress [as Skims]—I wouldn’t be surprised if they were made by the same manufacturer to be honest. If anything, the Amazon one fit a little better. Plus, it was cheaper, AND the Amazon one was even a little less see-through.” Hundreds of customers adore its smoothing fabric and flattering silhouette, and it even makes for a staple maternity dress, too, thanks to the super-stretchy spandex. (Just wait until you see the color options.)

Size Range: XS to XXL

5. PDWZNBA Love Friendship Cuff Bracelet

PDWZNBA

Upon first glance, I totally understand how this cuff bracelet is a number one Amazon best seller. It’s ultra-luxe, it’s elegant and it looks nearly identical to the Cartier LOVE bracelets with the signature sparkling gems and gold-plated design. According to some buyers, the clasp may be tricky to figure out (though others had no issues). “This is very pretty and easy to put on and take off…just push and click together [and] boom you’re done,” says one reviewer. “I get lots of compliments and don’t feel guilty about breaking the bank if I lose it. [Plus, it’s] excellent quality and [there’s] no discoloration.”

6. Juoxeepy Dumpling Cloud Bag

Juoxeepy

Behold: a sleek option waiting to become your new everyday handbag. Like the popular Polène Numero Neuf bag, which retails for more than $500, this purse boasts a similar organic shape and ruching. “As a designer-inspired bag, I’m a little shook at how well this mimics the high-end item,” admits one buyer. “I’m delighted by how much room this has. The faux leather is well replicated. My only issue is I wish the strap was longer because I prefer wearing my bags crossbody style—especially when traveling.” You may not be getting the hand-stitching and the certified Italian full-grain textured calf leather, but you sure are getting one affordable—and beautiful—accessory.

7. Dream Pairs Strappy Rhinestone Heels

Dream Pairs

Flashy and classy? Yes, I’m talking about these gorgeous high heels—similar to a viral Mach & Mach pair—complete with rhinestone trimming throughout, and a sparkly bow to top it off. Wear them to a wedding, bridal shower, gala event or GNO and let your feet settle into the comfy and supportive fit of the smooth PU-covered insole. Oh, and the TPR sole offers ample traction and stability for those slippery surfaces and staggering 4.4-inch heel height.

8. Lillusory Striped Cardigan Sweater

Lillusory

If you’re getting either major Meghan Markle or Celine vibes from this black and white striped Amazon sweater, then you’re on the right track. So, do yourself a favor and snatch up this cardigan for your French capsule wardrobe. The relaxed-but-tailored fit is great for days when you want something cozy and warm without feeling too constricted, and the versatile silhouette pairs well with most things in your closet: jeans, leggings, skirts and even dresses. I adore the chunky gold buttons—they add flair and fashion, making it look much more expensive than it really is. I have a feeling you’ll love the soft feel of the knit like many reviewers do.

Size Range: XS to XL
Materials: 50 percent viscose, 30 percent polyamide, 20 percent polyester

9. Eastbon Twisted Cable Bracelet

Eastbon

I’ve made it my life’s mission to copy my mother’s jewelry collection. Until I’ve save up to purchase her beloved David Yurman cuff bracelet I’ve been eyeing, this antique-looking accessory will do. It’s made from 100 percent allergy-free materials and its plating color is designed to last over a year without fading.

10. Sojos Retro Oval Sunglasses

Sojos

Trust me when I say this: You’re going to reach for these retro sunglasses every time you step out for a stroll. And no, they’re not the pricey Celine style, but resemblance is rather uncanny. In fact, the Amazon Sojos sunglasses became an instant viral hit, with many buyers saying they couldn’t tell the difference between the two. I finally bought a pair myself during Amazon Prime Day, and I now know why everyone raves about them. They’re chic, sleek and—my favorite part—don’t break the bank.

11. Honikoo Evening Clutch

Honikoo

I’m sure you’ve seen the Bottega Veneta Andiamo clutch in nearly every street style photo you’ve come across, but have you seen this little cutie that mimics it? The style incorporates one of the hottest handbag trends of the year—an eye-catching woven technique that’s hard to miss. Not to mention, the twisted metal hardware for a special finish. "This bag is stylish, chic and very on trend with a top handle," writes one 5-star reviewer. "It also comes with a detachable strap, so you can wear it as a cross body if you want to. The woven vegan leather is soft and natural looking."

12. DOEYG Mesh Ballet Flats

DOEYG

Alaïa’s mesh ballet flats are nearly everywhere I look both IRL and on socials, so I’m really excited to find an affordable version of the trendy shoe. They’re made from a combination of mesh, patent faux leather and rubber, which makes them feel stretchy, soft and—most importantly—slip-resistant. Ballet flats with straps are quite possibly my favorite version of the coveted shoe because the Mary Janes offer extra stability and style. Seriously, just wait until you’re 5,000-plus steps into your day thanking your stars for your breathable Alaïa lookalikes with the adjustable straps.

13. Aojun Classic Stacking Ring

Aojun

Sure, this bauble isn’t actually a Cartier LOVE ring, but with a design that is practically identical, why not gift it to yourself and save that extra cash for a rainy day? The thick band, which measures five millimeters wide and is plated in 18k gold, includes cubic zirconia stones throughout. Do yourself a favor and wear it with the bracelet above for the most stunning set destined for an elegant soiree.

Size Range: 5 to 10

14. Colorfulkoala High-Waisted Leggings

Colorfulkoala

Listen, I love my lululemon leggings and their buttery-soft, form-flattering material. That being said, if you’re hoping to get your hands on a more affordable pair that has that same oh-so-soft feel, this cult-favorite option, which just so happens to be under $30, will without a doubt satisfy. You’ll love how the four-way stretch adapts to your every move during yoga, and buyers say that the seamless waistband is super soft and won’t dig in. One thing to note: These leggings are prone to pilling, per buyers, but the nearly 34,000 5-star rave reviews on Amazon convince me that they’re still worth it.

Materials: 80 percent nylon, 20 percent spandex

15. Rejolly Top-Handle Bag

Rejolly

As much as this top handle bag may look like Loro Piana, it’s not. The luxury replica shares a similar minimalistic and refined quality with the designer version, practically solidifying it as a capsule wardrobe essential for the quiet luxury closet. It may be a miniature top-handle, but it also comes with a detachable shoulder strap, so you can wear it as a crossbody if you want. Oh, and did I mention there are more than 30 color options to choose from?

16. Minorsu Buckle Loafers

Minorsu

Found: your next go-to office shoe. The academia-esque vibe of these loafers is both timeless and on-trend, seeing as they look just like the fan-favorite Gucci pair. I recently discovered that classic mules are a hit amongst Parisians, too, when I chatted with French style expert Pauline Argenson, who told me that the French like to wear their loafers with anything and everything due to their comfy-yet-polished design.

Size Range: US 6 to 10

17. Pavoi Classic Tennis Bracelet

Pavoi

Add a touch of sparkle to your every day with this timeless tennis bracelet that—no—is not a Ring Concierge keepsake, despite how much it may look like it. It’s made with dazzling cubic zirconia crystals that are beautiful and clear atop a sturdy and gleaming gold-plated metal, and it also comes in quite a few additional tones for those who want to switch things up and venture away from white gold, like a rose or yellow gold. “This bracelet is great,” gushes one buyer. “Not only is it beautiful and looks real but is still looking like new after being in hot tubs and swimming pools. I don’t ever take it off. It is super durable.”

Size Range: 6.5 to 7.5 inches

18. VorisVina Jelly Mesh Ballet Flats

VorisVina

In case you haven’t heard, 2025 is the year of the jelly flat (and I’d bet my bottom dollar it will continue into 2026 as well), and we have the chic geniuses at The Row to thank for it. But you don't need to blow your entire fall shopping budget just to get in on the trend. These highly rated flats come in six fun colors, though I've definitely got my heart set on bold cherry red. Reviewers do say they run a smidge small, but are also surprisingly comfortable with little to no break-in time required.

FAST FACTS

Size Range: US 5 to 10.5
Materials: synthetic upper, rubber sole

19. Dokotoo Quilted Jacket

Dokotoo

A Barbour jacket is a quintessential fall layer—but if you can't swing the $400+ price tag, this quilted coat is your best bet. While it's missing that classic plaid lining, you'll still get a sherpa collar to protect the neck and garner major style points. The exterior is water-resistant for dreary days and reviewers agree its warm and cozy. However, it does seems to make a bit of noise when rubbed together.

Fast Facts

Size Range: S to XXL
Materials: 100 percent polyester shell and filling

20. Miraazzurra Rhinestone Strappy Heels

Miraazzurra

I did some digging and was able to find a pair of party-ready heels that looks so similar to Jimmy Choo. They’re so pretty and such a statement if you have an event coming up, or a wedding. The black Jimmy Choo version is $1,000 but these are under $75. They also come in tons of other great color options. You can even dress them down with a pair of straight-leg jeans and a crisp poplin blouse.

Size Range: US 5 to 13

21. Steve Madden Hadyn Sandals

Steve Madden

I can’t help but appreciate the similarities between these budget-friendly Steve Madden sandals and the unforgettable Hermès slides they take after. Plus, with a cutout strap and contemporary look, they’ll add a luxe touch to any warm-weather OOTD you think up this summer. My only qualm: They can be a touch stiff, so it may take some time to break them in and get the leather to loosen up.

22. Cuxva Acrylic Beaded Clutch

Amazon

Dress up your wedding reception or prom gown with this beaded find, which totally reminds me of Cult Gaia. The rectangular clutch is still big enough for the essentials: a phone, lipstick and a card holder. It even comes with a chain so you won't have to hold onto it all night. And there are nine incredibly cool colors to choose from. Just note that this bag is a little delicate, so be sure to handle with care, but if one of the balls fall off you can easily glue it back on.
