It’s no secret Forever 21 is stocked with knockoffs. But lately, the retailer has been specifically copying designer handbags. First, there was the Mansur Gavriel lookalike we spotted a few weeks back, which sold out almost as quickly as the real thing. This gave us flashbacks to when the retailer knocked off Celine‘s Trapeze bag and didn’t even bother changing the name. So we decided to do some “research” to see if there were any more copies.
Lo and behold, there are a ton, and I mean a TON of designer handbag lookalikes currently on F21. Phillip Lim‘s Mini Pashli, Proenza Schouler’s PS Backpack (a celeb fave), the list goes on. Whatever your thoughts are on knockoffs, you need to see these for yourself–they are truly incredible. Click the slideshow to see if you can tell which product is the original and which is the knockoff.
