Hey there, Gucci lovers! Have you ever scrolled through online platforms looking for those trendy Gucci bag dupes, only to find there’s hardly anything out there? Well, that’s because there’s a trick to it, and I’m here to guide you through it.
In this blog post, I’ll be giving you some practical tips on how to find these Gucci bags online. Not only that, I will share my top picks for Gucci replicas of 2023 that you wouldn’t want to miss. Get ready for lots of interesting information, helpful tips, and fun facts!
How to Buy Gucci Replica on DHgate/AliExpress/Amazon
Back in the day, finding knockoffs on those e-commerce platforms (like Etsy, DHgate, AliExpress, Amazon, eBay, iOffer) was a breeze. Just type in the brand name with “dupe” after it, like “Gucci dupes”, and bam you’d get a bunch of hits. But those days are gone. Now, if you try that, you’ll probably end up with nothing.
Those platforms have cracked down on all those searches like “replicas”, “knockoffs”, or “lookalikes”. And sometimes, they even hide these listings. It’s pretty hit or miss, especially if you’re looking for something that’s not super popular.
But don’t worry, I’ve still got a couple of tricks to find them, even with all these new rules.
1. Search for the product itself, leaving out the brand name:
For example,
- Horsebit Loafers
- Soho Leather Bag
- Ace Sneakers
2. Search for variations in spelling or alternate names:
Use just the initials of the “brand name and item” for your search.
For example,
- GG for Gucci
- CC for Chanel
- LV for Louis Vuitton
When I want a Gucci bag, I just search “GG bag”.
3. Image Search (This function works only on the mobile apps):
Upload a screenshot or photo of the item you’re interested in, and the platform will scan it to find similar lookalike products.
4. Contact Sellers:
If you can’t find what you need, try messaging sellers who sell similar products. They will probably have it in their “backstock” or “hidden inventory”.
5. Look for hidden links on social media:
Search for hidden links on social media like Facebook for direct access to stores or knock-off products. You’ll find them in reviews about the fake branded goods, but they’re often with vague descriptions to stay off the platform’s radar.
What’s the concept of a hidden link album? Essentially, they’re hidden products you can buy from AE sellers. The photos in the album might show fully branded products (i.e. LV, Dior, etc) and the AE listings would be taken down if they used those photos and advertised them as branded replicas. Instead, you look at the pics in the album and decide “Hey, I want these shoes in this color” and all the colors are labeled with a number or letter. If you click the AE link in the photo album for that item, it will take you to an AE page for a product that is nothing related to the item you’re purchasing but allows you to select the number or letter option for the item you want, any sizing, etc. So it’ll look like you’re buying a computer cable in length 40cm but in reality, you’re ordering a pair of Prada slides, size 40. Sellers generally require a PM or message once you’ve purchased with a code word to verify you did, in fact, come there from the hidden links album and aren’t actually trying to buy a computer cable! |
Even though these hidden links might sound like an exciting “treasure hunt”, sadly, my own experiences with them haven’t been great. I remember I ordered a few items from this “shop” but none of the items have ever arrived. When I opened a dispute the shop replied that the item was still in transit (no, it wasn’t. It’s been MANY months, and the tracking said it was allegedly delivered.)
Important basics and facts about DHgate/AliExpress/Amazon
We’ve already covered how to find these fake Gucci items on various e-commerce platforms. But finding them is just the first step. Before placing your order, let’s get down to some basic stuff and real talk about shopping on these e-commerce sites.
- Every seller you’re gonna find is basically a reseller or a middleman. Don’t fall for it if they say they’re a “factory” or something.
- Don’t get too excited about discounted or sale items in these listings. They’re not really on sale.
- Buying from a top-rated seller doesn’t always mean you’ll be happy with your purchase.
- Fake reviews are all over the place, even in listings from those top sellers. They’re pretty common these days.
- Always check out the photos in customer reviews. Because sellers often ditch any logos or brand stuff from their listings
- The prices of listings can change over time. Like, you put an item you’re into in your cart, and then a month or even a week later, the price could be totally different. It might go up, it might go down it’s unpredictable.
Now, I want to share my personal take on these platforms. If you’re new to the whole replica scene, it’s worth a shot to buy from these sites since the prices are super cheap. Even if you’re not thrilled with what you get, you won’t lose out on much.
Personally, I don’t shop on these platforms. The reasons include those basics and facts I just talked about. Plus, I find it kind of a hassle. Also, I’m pretty experienced in buying dupe bags, and the stuff on these sites usually doesn’t cut it for me in terms of quality. I’m all about high-quality finds.

How to Avoid Scams and Low-Quality Purchases
Next, I’m going to take you through some essential tips to reduce the chances of getting poor-quality knockoffs and minimize the risk of getting scammed.
Check for images
Photos are your best friend. It’s all about the details when you can’t hold the bag in your hands. Zooming in on those close-up shots is key. They let you spot the tiny imperfections that might slip by otherwise.
If the listing’s kinda skimpy on photos, don’t be shy about asking for more. Any reliable seller won’t mind sending extra pics. But if they start making excuses and won’t send more photos, that’s a red flag right there.
Also, if a seller’s photos are all blurry and unclear, it’s best to steer clear of them. Sharp, clear pictures are your first assurance of quality. I mean, who knows what they will send you, or worse, take your money and vanish – it could all just be a scam from the start.
Be on the lookout for those stock photos straight off the internet. If a seller’s only showing those, it could mean they’re trying to hide something.
Check for details
When you’re checking out stuff online and the listing doesn’t have much info, that’s kinda sketchy. A trustworthy seller should be ready to give you all sorts of info.
But then, you’ve also gotta watch out for those sellers who go overboard with phrases like “100% copy original.” If they’re laying it on thick with those kinds of claims, it is a red flag.
Check for reviews
A seller with loads of positive feedback and reviews is usually a good sign. It’s a smart move to dig into those reviews to get a real sense of how trustworthy and honest the seller is.
And don’t just gloss over the negative reviews. They’re super useful for figuring out where the issue really was – with the buyer or the seller. Sometimes, those negative comments can tell you more about the seller than all the positive ones.
These three steps are all about making sure a seller or website is worth a shot. If they check all the boxes, then you’re good to go and start picking out what you want. Just remember when you’re choosing:
Start from small items
Buying knockoff bags is like a mix of excitement and worry, right? You might have a long wishlist, but even if a seller’s description and pics look super tempting, you gotta keep a hold on your wallet. My advice is to start small, maybe with a pouch or wallet. Go for something cheaper to test the waters.
What’s the test for?
- Well, first off, you need to see if the seller is reliable and ships on time.
- Next up, you want to make sure you’re actually getting the quality you’re expecting.
- And lastly, check if the item makes it to you without any hiccups.
This also gives you a first-hand look at the seller’s quality. By doing it this way, you can slowly build trust with certain sellers and then gradually start to go for bigger buys.
Go for the Popular Styles
From what I’ve seen, picking popular styles over the less known ones is usually a safer bet. Bestselling styles mean more sales for sellers, so they often put extra effort into these products. This shows not just in the materials they use, but also in the craftsmanship.
And when you’ve finally picked out an item you’re interested in, don’t forget there’s still one more step:
Make Comparison
As a seasoned bag enthusiast, I always stress the importance of comparison. When I’m shopping for a fake bag, I spend a lot of time meticulously checking every detail – from the stitching to the material, even the smell of the bag.
If you’re not too familiar with the real deal, make sure to compare these images with photos of the Replica Knockoff ones. Keep in mind, colors might look different on your screen, but the craftsmanship details won’t lie to you.
Finally, some important things to keep in mind:
Avoid low prices. High prices don’t always guarantee high quality, but low prices definitely mean no good stuff.
Remember not to reveal too much personal and payment information. If a seller asks for more information than what’s needed for the purchase, that’s a red flag.
Before purchasing, know the return and refund policies. Understanding these policies clearly can help avoid bigger disappointments from issues that may arise later.
Keep yourself informed about common online shopping scams. The more aware you are, the less likely you’ll fall for one.
If something feels off about a listing or seller, it’s better to err on the side of caution. Trust your gut. |

If you’re looking for a tote that’s just the right size, check out the Ophidia GG Medium from Gucci. It has double top handles that fit comfortably under your arm.

The Gucci Savoy medium duffle bag is really roomy, and perfect for traveling, hitting the gym, or overnight stays. It comes with a detachable, long shoulder strap, so you can wear it cross-body if you want.
We also have an Replica Knockoff LV Keepall 55 Bandouliere in the monogram canvas, and what’s surprising is that this fake Gucci duffle bag is actually more structured than the Keepall, even though they are both made of monogram canvas.
If you want a duffle bag that’s different from the usual LV Keepall, definitely consider giving this one a try. It combines style and practicality perfectly.

Gucci Horsebit 1955 is one of the most popular lines of the brand. It has the right amount of vintage vibe and the flap closure design is timeless and classic. Besides, who can say no to a combination of the two Gucci iconic symbols: GG Supreme plus Horsebit?

If you’re considering buying a Gucci bag lately but don’t know which one to pick, GG Marmont can never be the wrong choice. The double G logo is super iconic, and the bags have a vintage vibe that won’t go out of style anytime soon.
This bag is actually a trial before going all out on an expensive Gucci Marmont. I’m not super careful with my bags, so I was kinda worried about how a light-colored one might get messed up. But this bag turned out to be way better quality than I expected, pretty much like the real thing. So, I thought, if this one’s doing the job, why spend the extra cash on a real one?
Why I love this bag:
- Capacity: The bag is bigger than I thought and can fit a lot.
- Style: The style is classic and simple, which works great with lots of different outfits.
- Versatility: It’s versatile too – I can use it as a shoulder bag or as a crossbody.
- Comfort: It’s light and the chain strap is thick and rounded, so it’s comfortable and doesn’t dig into my skin.

I’m really thrilled about these shoes! It was my first time getting replica shoes, and I remember being super nervous and excited waiting for them to arrive. I bought a pair of Gucci Ace sneakers, the same ones I have in the original so that I could compare them.
I was hoping they’d be good enough to replace my real ones when they wear out. And guess what? I’m totally happy with them. You should see my review for more side-by-side comparison photos!
Why I love these shoes:
- Versatile: The Gucci Ace sneakers are so adaptable and can be paired with almost any outfit or for any season. Whether it’s denim jeans, skirts, or mini dresses, they just fit in.
- Comfortable: These sneakers are super comfy, and feel great on the feet.
- Style Enhancer: They have this unique ability to complete a simple look, giving it that extra edge.

Funny how life works. I never really thought about getting fake sunglasses, but I’ve had my fair share of losing my eyewear (especially on those sandy beaches!), so again I found myself leaning toward replicas.
I did my research before taking the plunge. After I made sure that even the replica sunnies came with UV protection, I went ahead and ordered them. Honestly, I wish I had gotten around to doing this sooner. If I had bought a few pairs of these sunnies sooner, I probably wouldn’t have lost so many of my pricey Replica Knockoff ones.
If you’ve got any questions about those glasses, just click on the picture or the link for more details. In that review post, I’ve also shared a guide on Replica Designer Glasses.
I’ve always been a huge fan of those gorgeous Gucci pieces, but you can totally find stylish and luxe accessories that won’t break the bank. So, if you’re a Gucci lover watching your budget, you should totally treat yourself to these amazing alternatives without spending a ton!
What do you think? Would you go for buying from those e-commerce platforms, or, like me, would you prefer shopping from individual sellers?
Love these sunglasses, and would love to see a Gucci belt review!!
I am obsessed with the Gucci Rajah tote and asked a few sellers and no one had it in stock. So I bit the bullet and bought the Replica Knockoff in the floral print and can’t wait to hold it in my hand.
I have so many bags I have collected over the years. From the top sellers too. I want to sell a few. How would I do that?
Thanks for your time!

I don’t recommend selling reps since it’s illegal. Typically, the bags I no longer use, I either give away or donate, and I make sure to let the receiver know that they are replicas.
The holy grail Gucci Princetown loafers. I ordered the classic black and I ordered them at the end of August and have worn them a ton and they are holding up beautifully!
