I have an eye for designer style, but I'm shopping on a budget: here are the best lookalikes I've found this March
From Tory Burch satchels to Coach suede trench coats, these are the best designer lookalikes to shop now


This month I've been on the hunt for the high fashion items without the eye-watering price tags. Here I've rounded up some of the best designer lookalikes of trending pieces, from marshmallow satchels to luxurious suede trench coats.
Whether you're looking to invest in a pair of the best wide leg jeans or the trending UGG boot style, there is no need to max out your budget. We've rounded up the best designer lookalikes to elevate your 2025 capsule wardrobe without needing to spend a fortune.
From Ganni's leopard print frenzy to the rise of the suede handbag, we've already studied plenty of the spring/summer fashion trends from designer catwalks; however, if you want to dip your toe into a trend without spending too much, the high street has plenty of bank-friendly alternatives.
It is worth considering that when buying from high end label, it’s not just the design you're paying for; often the higher prices reflect the level of craftsmanship and fabric quality that go into making a piece. This explains why one of the best designer bags is likely to outlive a cheaper one you picked up on the high street.
Best designer dupes to shop now
1. Tory Burch Marshmallow Satchel

10. Cartier Panthère de Cartier 18ct yellow-gold and stainless-steel watch
A Cartier watch is something people dream of purchasing, with its excellent design and quality craftmanship there is no wonder this brand is so desirable.
