Things You'll Need:

  • Computer
  • Patience
  • Method of payment
  1. Step 1

    Decide on the specific type of Marc Jacobs purse you want. It will help to focus your search if there is a particular design you want. If you simply want any Marc Jacobs purse, you can just opt for the best deal you find.

  2. Step 2

    Search for discount retailers on-line that carry Marc Jacobs purses and sell them for discounted prices. These retailers usually offer prices that are less than standard retail price. You may be able to get an amazing deal on a purse from last season at one of these sites.

  3. Step 3

    Shop authorized Marc Jacobs' retailers at the end of the season. Upscale department stores often have large sales at the season's end to make way for the new designs coming in for the next season. If you visit the stores regularly during this time period, you may be able to find some nice discounts.

  4. Step 4

    Browse auction sites for Marc Jacobs purses. If you only want new purses, make sure to only search for brand new items. If you don't mind a used Marc Jacobs purse, you can save even more money by buying used. When purchasing from an auction site, make sure to confirm the authenticity of the purse. There are a lot of fake Marc Jacobs purses on the market.

  5. Step 5

    Join a designer purse forum. There are many of these forums on-line where devoted lovers of designer purses get together and chat about them. You can find forums dedicated to Marc Jacobs purses and score some tips on the latest finds. People sometimes post about sales and where to find deals on the purses.

Tips & Warnings
  • There are two lines of Marc Jacobs items--the "Marc Jacobs Collection" line, which is the primary, most expensive line, and the "Marc by Marc Jacobs" line which offers items that are slightly more affordable.
  • Be diligent when it comes to purse shopping. It can sometimes be discouraging if you don't find a great deal right away but be persistent and something will turn up.
  • If purchasing a Marc Jacobs purse off of an auction site, check the seller's feedback. If she has sold fake purses to anyone in the past, stay away.
