New Handbags
More and more women are buying high-end handbags again as economic uncertainty wanes and consumer confidence grows. But that doesn't mean everyone is buying a new one each season - consumers are still shopping conservatively and trying to make their best handbags last.
Here's how to get a latest designer bag for less and take proper care of it. If you're hard on your belongings, or you measure longevity in decades instead of years, it may make the most sense for you to go right to the source and spend a little more up front. From Louis Vuitton to Coach Inc., specialty retailers always carry a variety of their own latest handbags. Even better, some of the top designers and makers will repair their wares at little or no charge. But if you want to save up front, there are lots of options.
You can just go to your favorite mall, but there you will find only expensive and luxury ones.
So start online: Whichever bag you covet, start with a web search. There are sites that, you'll find discounts starting at roughly 15 percent. Also try auction sites, which sells police property. Best deals are if they can sell you with free shipping. Just be on the lookout for counterfeits, which are usually made from cheaper materials and with less sturdy hardware. But you may have to visit multiple locations or be ready to pounce on new stock if you have a specific item in your mind. And there are always knockoffs from street sellers, and chains like Wal-mart and Target offer best handbags for women "inspired by" popular styles, including satchel, tote and hobo handbags style for less than $30.
