You can own a designer handbag without paying designer prices. Just follow these steps.

Difficulty: Challenging
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Don’t buy impulsively. Plan and wait. Make sure the handbag is one that is practical and will be used, even if only for special occasions. Make sure it is a good size, a good color and able to be worn with an outfit.

  2. Step 2

    Expect to spend a lot of money. If the price seems too good to be true, it is too good to be true. A Fendi costing $150 is not real; it will cost more like $1200.

  3. Step 3

    Consider buying a designer knock-offs. There are many ways to do this. There are some differences that anyone who knows handbags will notice, but the overall style and essence of the handbag will be the same.

  4. Step 4

    Shop at reputable stores. This is one definite way to avoid being ripped-off. Make sure the store has a good reputation and long establishment.

  5. Step 5

    Wait for sales and discounts. Department stores selling designer handbags and purses are great for this. At the end of the season things go on sale to make room for the new season.

  6. Step 6

    Be cautious of buying from online auctions such as eBay. It may be of poor quality or damaged which would be easy to hide in photos. It is hard to tell the size and feel of the purse.
