Born in 1966, Bottega Veneta — a luxury Italian fashion house — has been serving its signature “intrecciato” leather-weaving for decades. Despite being an instant hit, with their first release of their woven shoes and bags, the brand has had a recent wave of popularity.

And while I’d like to think I’m immune to social media’s charm, I can’t deny that I want a Bottega bag of my own. But, being a creative and not a celebrity (woe is me!), I’m looking at getting myself a convincing dupe while I save up the funds to invest in the real deal.
Below are eight Bottega Veneta dupe bags that I’ve found on my search and can confirm, are pretty damn close to the real thing. A temporary fix, if you will.
THE ICONIC
IZOA Vincenza Woven Bag
This IZOA Vincenza Woven Bag ($169) is inspired by Bottega Veneta’s Mini Pouch range and we’re seeing them EVERYWHERE. This dupe is fab because it’s made out of real leather, meaning it will last longer. It can also be transformed into a shoulder bag.
Etsy
Mini Jodie Inspired Handbag
This BV Mini Jodie Inspired Handbag ($157.96) is a dupe of the Mini Jodie bag. Etsy is a really good place to look for quality dupes, as there are heaps of private sellers that specialise in designer dupes. This particular one comes 12 colours including in lilac, grass green, blue, black and cream.
Amazon
KingTo Woven Crossbody Handbag Purse
This KingTo Woven Crossbody Handbag Purse ($60.99) is a dupe of Bottega Veneta’s Padded Casette range, which another super popular style right now. This Amazon seller has it available in pink, blue, black and white and is made out of non-pollution waterproof synthetic PU leather.
HIGHYU’s Woven Dumpling Pouch ($38.99) embodies the style of the Bottega Veneta Mini Jodie purse. It’s made of vegan leather all around with a firm structured handle.
Amazon
ZooLLynn Woven Padded Cassette Crossbody Bag
Another Bottega Veneta Padded Casette range dupe, the ZooLLynn Woven Padded Cassette Crossbody Bag ($36.74) is affordable and stylish. It can hold bigger phones and even includes a removable pocket.
The Iconic
& Other Stories Braided Leather Tote
The shape may not be completely the same as Bottega’s Hop silhouettes but the chunkier body has the same appeal. This particular bag is the braided leather tote from & Other Stories. It will only set you back $299 as opposed to thousands for the original.
