Step 1
Check out discount online stores such as Overstock and eFashionHouse. Retailers such as these often offer designer purses and hand bags at discounted prices. Try to check with them regularly as their inventories tend to fluctuate. Often, when a particular purse sells out, they don't get more of that particular model.
-
Step 2
Search for Chanel handbags at online auction sites such as eBay. You can choose to only search for brand-new handbags or for even better prices, you can search for used handbags. People tend to take great care of their purses so you can generally find used designer items that are in stellar shape. Make sure the seller ensures it is an authentic Chanel handbag and not a replica. Most sellers accept PayPal as their preferred method of payment.
-
Step 3
Browse high-end department stores at the end of the season. Most stores discount items at the season's close to prepare for the next season's items which are coming in. Designer purses will often be discounted in order to purge the inventory for the new designs. You can sometimes find great deals this way.
-
Step 4
Check out outlet stores. Designer brands such as Chanel feature outlet stores where merchandise is discounted over standard retail prices. The merchandise may be slightly defective or just overstocked, and as a result the prices are lower. Ask a sales associate if there are any possible defects on the bags that interest you.
-
Step 5
Shop local boutiques regularly to take advantage of sales. If a boutique is going out of business or moving, you're sure to find great deals on the store's Chanel offerings.
-
Step 6
Look for high-end thrift stores in your area, if you don't mind a used Chanel handbag. Various large cities feature thrift stores that only sell designer or very high-quality items. While you'll pay much more than standard thrift stores prices, you'll pay much less than you would have at a department store.
