I already said I’m by no means a handbag expert, but even I am acquainted with the Fendi Spy bag. This shoulder bag which is made of ultra-rich nappa leather and finished with woven double top handles, instantly became the “It” bag when it came out a few years ago. All hype aside, I certainly understand why handbag connoisseurs lusted over this delicious piece of arm candy. The design is elegant and versatile and the craftmanship absolutely exquisite. However, not everyone can justify a $2.000 handbag investment including myself.

Baghaus “Spy” Bag
UPDATE (12/31/2009): Found a second, almost identical Fendi Spy bag knockoff by Baghaus which looks so close to the original they didn’t even bother to change the name. Available in black (pictured), brown, mustard, beige and pewter.

Handbag Heaven Classic Secret Agent Bag
If you want a great looking alternative for a fraction of the price, Handbag Heaven has a really good and budget-friendly option for all of us who can’t afford the real deal. Their “classic secret agent bag” is an almost identical copy of the Fendi bag, even the name is a tribute. The bag is made of soft leatherette and comes in either classic black, shimmering pewter or a delightfully mustard color. A great gift for your mom, sister, BFF or your own handbag lovin’ self, of course.

I wouldn’t call Fendi one of my favorite designer brands, but when I saw these adorable white wedge sandals arriving at NET-A-PORTER
a few months ago, I knew it was love at first sight.

Shiekh Audrina-09 Wedge Sandals
These “Audrina-09″ wedge sandals by Shiekh are obviously inspired by the Fendi wedges above though these miss the metallic inlay on the wooden style wedge. However, they are still a great alternative if you are looking for a similar style and they also happen to be discounted right now. Other color options include black and brown (my personal favorite).

These Fendi platform pumps sure are very beautiful, but unfortunately also very pricey at $705 a pair. If you are are looking for a budget version of these, you have come to the right place.

Bebe “Mariah” Satin Peep-toe Pumps
Now this is a spot on knockoff coming from Bebe. The upper material might be different and the pumps aren’t available in beige, but apart from that, these satin peep-toe pumps are virtually identical. The double platform, the bows on the front, the extreme high heel, it’s all there. These Fendi knockoffs originally retailed for $149, but have been reduced to $101.49 since. They also come in black satin or gold snakeskin ($169).
