Get Designer Handbags for Cheap Prices

Designer purses add style and elegance to an outfit but can cost a small fortune at retail. The good news is there are ways you can get genuine designer handbags for cheap prices if you know where to look. Here's how.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Check local estate and garage sales.

    Surprisingly, there are many people who sell their designer purses at ridiculously low prices at garage and yard sales. Check for sales in more affluent areas to find the best designer bags. Estate sales, held when someone dies, can be a good source for vintage designer bags. Keep looking. Perseverance will pay off.

  2. Step 2

    Online auctions.

    Yes, you can buy authentic designer handbags on Ebay but be careful! There are a lot of fakes and replicas being marketed as the real thing on online auction sites. Check the feedback of the seller carefully to avoid being ripped off.

  3. Step 3

    Check local consignment stores.

    These shops can be an excellent source of designer handbags for cheap prices. They'll cost a bit more than you'll pay at a garage sale, but you can still get a bargain. Call the owners of local consignment stores in your area and ask them to alert you if a high end designer bag comes in.

  4. Step 4

    Check outlet stores.

    Many designers now have outlet stores in various parts of the country. When you travel, check to see if you'll be close to one. Pay a visit and see if they offer designer handbags at significant discounts.

  5. Step 5

    Buy designer purses wholesale.

    There are legitimate sources for wholesale designer purses, but be careful as many so called "wholesale" sites are actually selling at retail prices. A legitimate source for buying purses wholesale can be found at http://www.designer-purse-party.com

Tips & Warnings
  • Watch out for replicas and knock offs! If the price sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

on 9/19/2009 Great Article! Outlet stores are a good option too. The online designer outlets like Bluefly, Yoox, and Gilt are great. Gilt is members only, but I have invitations to the site, if anyone needs one. Just sign up through the link
