Handbag shopping for a purse whore like myself can be serious business. My family and I use the term to acknowledge each others shopping addictions. We have my Mom; the shoe whore, Dad; the clothes whore, my husband; the coat whore etc. While I'm a borderline boot whore, purses are my real problem. Over the years I've found budget friendly ways to support my handbag addiction. So here are my shopping tips to you:
1. Try a home shopping channel like
QVC they have great designers like Dooney and Bourke. They get bags that you won't see in the department stores for months. They also have their bags on easy pay, so the cost is broken down into monthly payments. The best part is you get the bag right away. You can enjoy it while you're paying it off. Love that!
2. Another way to go if you want designer bags is to rent them. Thats right RENT it! There are websites like
Bag Borrow or Steal. You can get bags like Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and Burberry. You can rent, buy, and sell bags here.
3. You can also try a shop like Marshalls and TJ Maxx they sell designer bags for half the prices of the big department stores.
4. If you want a stylish bag for $20 -$50 try
Charming Charlie. They have trendy bags and a ton of choices!
Lastly, always use caution when buying designer handbags online there are many knock-offs out there. Do your research on the bag and website before dropping your hard earned cash.
Good luck ladies.
