Stop wasting your money on those knock-off and replica handbags and learn how to buy the genuine designer handbag you always wanted.
Here are some tips to help you on your next purchase: Designer Boutiques.
Yes, designer boutiques have sales. Most designer sales are mid-year, through May and June, with 40% off. Why buy your handbags at the store? The best benefit is the customer service you receive. The sales representatives are polite and insightful. They may even give an advance notice on a secret sale that other customers may not know about.
Online Stores.
This is a great source because brand authenticity is guaranteed, it's convenient, and more than often there are good discounts. One of my favorite websites is Bluefly.com. Here you are more than likely to receive up to 40% off designer handbags, plus shipping is always $7.95 no matter the size of the order.
For example, this handbag by Marc Jacobs is selling at 30% less than retail stores.
Department Stores.
The one skill you need for handbag shopping at department stores: Know the pre-sales dates. Department stores are known to have mid-year sales that include designer handbags and shoes. This usually happens a week before the actual sale date. It's always a good idea to pre-shop the handbags you like and ask a sales associate if those handbags will be included in the pre-sale. Some handbags even go on sale before the pre-sale!
eBay.
I know, not such a trusted site and most of the times the items are counterfeit. Although having a bit of knowledge about materials and leathers will help you here. Keep in mind, most of the bags on this site are used, but the prices will be unbeatable.
Consignment Shops.
The good consignment shops are great places to score handbags that might have been discontinued. Yes, handbags here are authentic--most handbags are sold to consignment shops because the owner has not learned or doesn't want the hassle of the eBay process.
I know it sounds like getting that designer handbag may be a hassle, but it's well worth it. What do you think about the process? Do you have other ideas to score that handbag you have been saving for?
