This New Quince Backpack Looks So Similar to a Designer Version I've Been Eyeing-but It Costs $4,000 Less

"Bags are my biggest vice, including my recent obsession with Bottega Veneta's $4,400 Intrecciato Trail Backpack. Fashioned out of the brand's iconic interlocking leather, this backpack has been in the back of my mind since I first saw it being used by a fellow traveler when I went to Vermont for my friend's wedding. So when I saw that Quince quietly dropped a nearly identical convertible version last week, I knew I had to have it."

"I can't help but love the significant price difference. While the Bottega Veneta costs $4,400, this Quince find is only $178-nearly $4,200 in savings. The Quince backpack is also more versatile, since you can wear it in two completely different ways. Like some of Quince's other handbag options, this handwoven version is convertible. In addition to a backpack, you can transform it into a shoulder bag using the included adjustable strap."

The narrator has expensive taste but relies on Quince for affordable finds. A nearly identical Quince Italian Leather Handwoven Convertible Backpack mirrors Bottega Veneta's $4,400 Intrecciato Trail aesthetic while costing only $178, delivering nearly $4,200 in savings. The Quince bag offers convertible wear as a backpack or shoulder bag with an adjustable strap, providing day-to-night versatility. The interior includes three compartments, a zippered pocket, and two slip pockets. The Quince version appears more streamlined and less cumbersome than the spacious Intrecciato Trail, making it a practical, stylish alternative.
