protecting your eyes in a stylish manner shouldn’t put you into debt.
This post is going to be going over trending designer sunglasses and their dupe’s incase your budget doesn’t allow you to spend hundreds of dollars on eye wear, like myself.
DUPE:
a dupe in fashion is basically just finding a designer item at a much lower price point.

If you’re not familiar with Bottega Veneta, they are the brand that started the craze of the woven shoulder bag last year with their iconic Jodie shoulder bag pictured below.
There is nothing wrong with spending $3,500 on a bag if that’s what your budget allows. BUT, for those of us that do not have that kind of cash flow… we found our ways of purchasing the same bag at a much more affordable price point with dupes.
Well, I’ve done the same thing for you below with their sunglasses & included the links to both!
DESIGNER: $510
DUPE: $45
In my opinion, I cannot spot an ounce of difference in these dupes. Unfortunately, there were no reviews on this product. Hopefully by the time you go to purchase, there is one you can go off of. For $45, I wouldn’t purchase for a review lower than a 3.5.
As I was searching for dupes, I did find some lightly used designer pair’s on Poshmark & Ebay for $300 if you would rather purchase the designer pair for a lighter price point.
All you have to type in is: Bottega Veneta BV 1189S Sunglasses 001 BLACK in the site’s search bars.
PRADA has an incredibly versatile sunglass selection so you really can’t go wrong with any of them.
The ones I have featured are the 17WS. I have been seeing them EVERYWHERE lately.
DESIGNER: $520
DUPE: $15
You can get this 4.6 star reviewed dupe above on amazon for $15 for one or $16 for two pairs.
I found the designer pair on Sunglass Hut’s website for almost $100 cheaper. Click here to purchase.
I found another pair on amazon for $225 also with great reviews at a 4.3 stars. A lot commenting on the authenticity and great quality! Click here to purchase.
When it comes to eyewear, Gucci is not afraid to go big and be bold.
Although they have some elegant & dainty framed sunnies, they are commonly known for their chunky thick frames.
I am a Gucci girl through and through so I, rightfully, couldn’t just pick one pair to feature.
Below are 3 pairs I am currently obsessed with and seeing the most of.
DESIGNER: $565
DUPE: $14
4.4 star review and comes in 2 packs for only $16!
The light green pair would be perfect for St. Patrick’s Day. ;)))
DESIGNER: $495
DUPE: $15
DESIGNER: $580
DUPE: $16
I’m not typically a fan of wire framed sunglasses because the plastic nose notches get stuck in my hair when I put them on top of my head.
For this pair in particular though… I would risk getting a bald spot.
They’re giving chic Beverly Hills house wife whose only hobbies are drinking wine by the pool and luxury shopping sprees.
If this is your first time hearing of miu miu let me fill you in.
Miu Miu was created and founded by Miuccia Prada, the same creator of Prada.
So.. Miu miu is basically Prada’s younger & more affordable sister. ;))
DESIGNER: $505
DUPE: $14
I recently purchased the ones above and haven’t worn another pair of sunglasses since. This pair has a 4 star review on Amazon which I do have to agree with.
I LOVE the way these sunglasses fit/look on but the quality of the lenses is…… well let’s just say the quality shows their price. But for that price point, they are the PERFECT accessory to dress up an outfit!
Hopefully by now, one of these pairs has grabbed your attention. If not & you’re going to continue your search….
My biggest tip if you want the quality of the designer sunglasses but don’t want to drain your bank account for them is to look on Ebay, Poshmark, or Depop. You can google image search them by dropping a picture of the sunglasses into google and finding their product name. Then type the product name of the sunglasses into your search engine!
If you’re wanting to find something under $40 that look designer… TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Amazon are your places to go.
Nordstrom Rack & Sunglass Hut also have designer sunglasses at more affordable price points but you most likely will not be able to find a pair cheaper than $200-$150.
