Key Takeaways

Want to send your favorite kid back to school in style—or just score a really cool look for yourself?Starting today, head to Aldi! The grocery store is dropping its fun new line of dupes for high-end bags and backpacks, including dead ringers for trendy color-blocked State backpacks, cottagecore LoveShackFancy backpacks, even vibrant and quilted Vera Bradley backpacks. Our favorite part: It’s Aldi, so you can score them for a budget-friendly $17 each. We’ve got all five new styles, plus links to the lookalike originals. And there are coordinating insulated lunch bags, too!
Aldi’s 5 luxury backpack lookalikes for kids (and the young at heart!)
With a little detective work, we matched every fun Live In Style 16-inch backpack to its high-end inspiration.
Just like State Bags’ color-blocked Kane Backpack
Mimicking a $98 mini style from a brand beloved by Beyonce and Jessica Alba, this option is all clean lines and gentle pops of color. And the matching insulated lunch bag will only cost you $9!
An exact Crate and Barrel dupe—with Vera Bradley vibes
From its brilliant hue and daisy stitching to the light pink hardware and side pockets, this bag is so close to Crate & Barrel’s $64 Quilted Yellow Flower kids’ backpack that you might not be able to tell the two apart. We also think it has the same feel of the ultra-adorable $165 Vera Bradley Peanuts Bancroft Backpack. If we had to pick favorites, this one would be it.
Aldi’s cute take on Roller Rabbit’s sold-out style
This backpack taps into the hyper-feminine cottagecore trend celebrating all things frilly and floral, much like the $138 Roller Rabbit x Hill House backpack that got a lot of love on TikTok and was quick to sell out. Luckily, you can grab a similar version at Aldi. Oh, this style is also similar to a $70 Pottery Barn Teen offering, and it’s worth noting that both Pottery Barn Teen and Aldi offer matching insulated lunch bags—but Aldi’s costs $28 less!
Get the LoveShackFancy aesthetic for a whole lot less
This one captures the romantic lavender rose pattern that made the $70 LoveShackFancy Fete De L’eau Colby backpack a bestseller. And here’s a fun feature of all the Aldi backpack dupes that we haven’t mentioned yet: Even vintage-inspired styles like this one come with a padded interior laptop sleeve that adds modern functionality.
An Itzy Ritzy dupe that is just adora-bow
Bows are a huge trend with girls of all ages right now. Want proof? Check out SweetHoney Clothing’s $75 “Vibrant Bows” Ridley Backpack and the $65 Itzy Ritzy Explorer “Ribbons & Roses” bag. We happen to adore Aldi’s very similar ribbon-patterned take on the look. It gives you a “coquette-core” feel without being over the top.
Happy backpack shopping!
If you want to grab one of these fun bags, look for them in the Aldi Finds aisle in the middle of the store. Keep in mind that Aldi Finds aren’t always restocked, so hitting the store as soon as possible gives you the best chance of scoring the exact pattern you want. Which one is your favorite?
