You’ve probably seen this bag on every Instagram page or worn by all the fashion bloggers out there. This fashion-girl it bag has gained a major a cult following since summer 2016: the Cult Gaia Ark Bag. For a while, the only time to get the bag was during the winter when less people were on the waitlist. However, since it has gained a huge following, the company also decided to raise the price tag.
I bought the bamboo ark (yes, like Noah’s Ark) bag on the Cult Gaia website for around $60 or so, now the price for the regular size is $148. I have to say, this Japanese-style bag is adorable but not worth that price tag.
Luckily for all of us, there are a few dupes that have come out as of late. Urban Outfitters, Zara, and Amazon have caught on to one of the biggest Summer trends. Below are a few of the bags on the brand’s site. Keep scrolling to see the even better dupes that are out there.
