How to Find Celebrity Inspired Purses

If you've always wanted to look like your favorite celebrity, the best place to start is with the bags they carry for nights on the town. Celebrity inspired purses are making huge waves in fashion circles, and even if they don't carry Gucci or Fendi or Birkin logos, no one will know from a distance.

Instructions

1. Pay attention to the purses that celebrities are carrying in fashion magazines, candid photographs and on the runway. Make note of your favorite styles, and the complexity of each bag.

2. Realize that celebrity inspired purses are rarely the real thing, but knock-offs produced by designers who have copied the brand-name bags to a "T", and are marketing them at a reduced price. This means that you can look stunning without breaking the bank, but also that you have to be careful who you deal with.

3. Visit some of the websites online that manufacture celebrity inspired purses. Bag Haus and A Bag Shop are two great places to start, but there are literally thousands of Internet destinations where you can find replica handbags.

4. Check out the selection on auction sites, such as eBay, for celebrity inspired purposes that people might be selling second-hand. This is often the best way to get a really good deal on replica purses, though you'll need to check their ratings to ensure you're dealing with reputable sellers.

5. Browse the Sunday advertisements in your local newspaper. This is another great place to find celebrity inspired purses, and you'll have the benefit of buying from someone in your area. This way, you can browse the merchandise in person, and select the bag that you like the most.

Tips & Warnings

• Never buy celebrity inspired purses from a dealer who lies to you about the authenticity of the bags or tries to manipulate you in any way.

• Buy only from dealers who have a fair return policy, just in case you order a bag that doesn't meet your expectations.
