I’m seeing here this “Cost” bag, which, honestly, calling it a Goyard dupe is a bit of a stretch maybe? $25 for something made of PU Vegan Leather… it’s a *dupe* dupe, you know? Like, a dupe of a dupe if that makes sense. The size is decent though, 12×11.5×6 inches – you could definitely cram a decent amount of makeup in there. Plus, a little inner pouch is always clutch for keeping your brushes or, like, that one emergency lipstick, separate.
Then there’s this “Parallelle” thing. “The Traveller.” A fold-down makeup bag? Okay, that sounds kinda cool. I’m picturing it like…one of those hanging organizers, but fancier. And the whole “upright, visible, and easily accessible” thing? Yeah, I’m down with that. Digging through your makeup bag is a legit nightmare. You know, that feeling when you *know* you have that *one* specific shade of eyeshadow, but it’s buried under a mountain of lipgloss and loose powder? Ugh.
So, here’s the thing, comparing these two… they’re kinda apples and oranges, aren’t they? The “Cost” bag, from what I can tell, is more about getting that *look*. That, “Oh, I’m so fancy, I have a Goyard… well, *kinda* Goyard-esque” vibe. It’s probably not gonna be the highest quality, let’s be real. But for $25, who am I to judge? Maybe you just need a cute tote for your library books.
The Parallelle “Traveller,” on the other hand, seems more focused on function. It’s about actually organizing your makeup, not just carrying it around. And honestly? Sometimes, that’s what you *really* need. I’m a sucker for anything that promises to make my life even a little bit more organized.
Now, a true “dupe” of a Wotakis makeup bag… I’m honestly not sure if those even *exist*. Wotakis is, like, in a whole different league when it comes to quality and materials. I mean, you’re basically paying for the craftsmanship, the design, the whole experience. So, finding something that’s *exactly* the same, but cheaper? Probably not gonna happen.
But, if you’re looking for something that gives you a similar *feel*… maybe the “Cost” bag is a good starting point. Or, if you just need something to keep your makeup from exploding in your suitcase, the Parallelle “Traveller” might be your jam.
