TikTok shopaholic Emma is famous for her vintage designer finds.

Her aesthetic can be described as a "coastal granddaughter."

But the ease with which she styles different vintage accessories makes her fashion sense versatile.

Although most of her hauls are on the more expensive side, Emma posted a recent video praising a recent dupe she found.

The video shows Emma unboxing and comparing the real Balenciaga Le Cagole bag to a dupe she bought.

The Le Cagole XS bag is retailed for $2300.

Her dupe is only $60.99.

The dupe is called the "Texas Shoulder Bag" and is sold on the website EGO.

Emma ordered the faux leather dupe in their pink color.

She bought the real Balenciaga bag in the black color when she was in Spain.

Emma explains that she decided to buy the dupe because she can never justify spending over $2,000 on a bag in a color she doesn't wear often.

For her, pink is not a staple.

But for others that can't afford to buy the real bag regardless, she recommends this one.

She holds them up side by side, and you can't tell the difference.

"I'm impressed... She's pretty cute... If I saw it on the street I don't think I'd notice," Emma says.

Her viewers rushed to the comment section to ask where they could be the same one.
