With the recent Supreme Court decision regarding discount pricing, it will become even more difficult to find designer goods for less. While shopping the back rooms of Canal Street is always an option, most of us would rather not deal with the ethical issues surrounding purchasing a clear “designer knock-off”, instead opting for “inspired” versions of our favorite bags.
What’s the difference? Although both “borrow” design elements from the real designer, knock-offs claim to actually be the bag and “designer inspired” versions claim to just be inspired by the bag design.
So where can you find “inspired” versions of your favorite handbags? Offline, try Target, Forever 21, Wet Seal, Charlotte Russe, H&M, etc. Try an online store like Baghaus.com, in which you can purchase an inspired version of over 30 of today’s legendary and top designers such as Chanel, Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, YSL, Valentino, Marc Jacobs, Rafe, Jimmy Choo, Hermes, Gucci , Fendi , Versace, Balenciaga, Coach, Christian Dior, for less than $55.
Here’s some of my favorites from the site and you can enter to win one of these bags. Just post a comment below with your favorite (make sure you add your email address when posting:

The Burberry bag is the best – great for on the town or at work!
I just love the Burberry inspired bag! Thanks for the great tip!
I’m torn between the Fendi and the Burberry, but I think the Fendi is my favorite right now.

that burberry inspired bag is really cute.
Ok, I visited baghaus.com…I LOVE it! Great looking designer inspired bags for a fraction of the price. I will be using this in the future when I don’t feel like browsing and can’t find what I’m looking for in a store like Forever21 or H&M. Thanks for sharing!
Really love the Burberry inspired bag…very chic!
i love the kooba natasha inspired bag and the chloe paddington bag. thanks for passing on the link! hope i get a chance to win a bag!
Oooo… What a cute Fendi Spy bag you have there! It’s so feminine and summery! I want one, please!
They’re all darling, but I would love the Burberry—I have learned that purses in a certain size range make my tush look smaller. That one might do the trick! LOL!!
Great idea to have the giveaway—it pushes people to look at the baghaus site. Thanks!
Whoa, those are pretty good. I love the Fendi Spy Bag. Hot bag! The Burberry one is great too, really classy yet fierce and sexy. And misha, I agree with that. You can mix expensive with not so expensive very well. Personally, if something looks good, I don’t usually look at the price. And I must say, some of my cheapest clothes have lasted me the longest and I’ve gotten great compliments on them, so don’t think expensive=good.
I have never heard of Baghaus but I really like their handbags. The burberry bag will be very chic for the winter.
Thanks for the scoop on this baghaus.com! Loving the Fendi Spy bag!!!
I loved browsing Baghaus. Really nice bags!
I think the Fendi Spy bag is really cute.
I went directly to the site and found tons of bags to buy! Thank you for the recommendation. The birkin inspired bag is first on my list!
I love all of them shown above but the Burberry inspired and Marc Jacobs inspired are my favorites by far!
