The Stylish Aldi Shower Caddy That's A Perfect Pottery Barn Dupe (For A Fraction Of The Price)

There are some bathroom staples you purchase to make your bathroom feel like a spa, and others are mainly for practicality. For many, shower caddies are a bathroom must-have, as they help organize daily go-to products, prevent clutter, and make accessing things easier — something you can appreciate when you have shampoo in your eyes. And if you're someone who loves combining decor with utility, a stylish shower caddy can be hard to overlook. 

Like many consumers, when it comes to buying a shower caddy, you want the best one that you can find — and for the best price. That's why Aldi's Live in Style floral shower caddy may give Pottery Barn Teen's LoveShackFancy caddy a run for its money. While the caddies look similar in style and serve the same functional purpose of helping to organize your bathroom, what really sets them apart is the price tag: the Aldi caddy is $5.99, while the one from Pottery Barn Teen costs $39. At first glance, it's easy to assume that Pottery Barn's caddy would dwarf Aldi's when it comes to quality. Sure, the Pottery Barn caddy is made from 100% recycled material and offers personalization. But in terms of product design, the caddies share many of the same features.

Aldi's version comes in three styles (white and blue, light pink, and black) and has four mesh pockets on the outside, which can help store bath products and grooming items. It also makes a convenient go-bag or diaper bag, with plenty of space to keep sunscreen, snacks, and baby wipes handy. The caddy comes equipped with a plastic key hook for easy access to home, gym locker, or mailbox keys.

In comparison, the Pottery Barn Teen version also has four pockets along the exterior. It also features a sturdy handle, which can be useful when storing heavier items such as lotions and drinks. This bag is available in only one design, a "Palace Walls" floral in pink or blue. Overall, its mesh outer pockets seem to be on par with those of Aldi's version, but it doesn't have a key hook. So, if you're looking for a caddy to keep your favorite shower products within reach, or need a daily carrying bag, Aldi's version seems to be worth trying out — especially if you prefer one that's a bit easier on your wallet.
