Bargain Designer Handbags: The Top Five Places to Shop

Stephanie Dray
Nothing can complete an outfit like a stylish designer handbag, but where can you find one within your price range? When it comes to designer handbags, here's a list of places you can shop to find a bargain:

1. Burlington Coat Factory.
Burlington Coat Factory is a national department store that specializes in outerwear. But it's not all about the coats. Burlington Coat Factory sells gorgeous designer handbags at slashed prices. Imagine it. Buttery leather designer handbags. Crocodile satchels in oxblood for a steal. Saag Harbor Valentine totes for sixteen dollars a piece. So the next time you stop in for the perfect classic trench, don't forget to add a designer handbag for a bargain.

2. Marshalls.
The discounts aren't as deep at Marshall's as you might find at Burlington Coat Factory, but the high end designer bag selection is larger. Don't be surprised to find a Kenneth Cole designer handbag on sale for half the price. But be prepared to do a little digging, and keep your eyes out for details. A bag with metal feet, buckles and special seaming is bound to look more polished than one without. The best designer handbags are often mixed in with a lot of less interesting finds. And if you're really looking for a bargain, you may need to negotiate a bit.

3. Ebags.
Maybe you think shopping for bargain designer handbags will take more time than you have available. How about doing it online? You can shop for bargain designer handbags from the comfort of your home with just a few mouse-clicks. Ebags has a great selection of designer handbags, and fantastic sales to take advantage of.

4.Ebay.
If you look for bargain designer handbags on Ebay, you're sure to find what you're looking for. Some people sell their designer handbags without even realizing how expensive they really are. Their loss is your gain. But be careful of the scams. If owning a genuine name brand designer handbag is important to you, make sure that you're dealing with a reputable seller. There are a number of designer handbag knock-offs that are masquerading as the real thing, and you don't want to get cheated.

5. Ross Dress for Less.
Like Burlington Coat Factory and Marshalls, Ross sells bargain designer handbags that might be one or two seasons behind the current trends. Because of this, they can offer steep discounts so that you can get bargain designer handbags that fit your price range. Ross can be a crowded place though, so you're best off shopping for your bargain designer handbags in the morning before the place fills up. You can also register to be alerted to deals on their website.

Now that you know where to shop, take your list of top handbags with you, and shop with confidence.

    Another good place to make a designer bargain is Designer Auction (www.designerauction.co.uk). You can try to win the item before you buy it. Its a fun place, but better to bid if you really want to buy the item.

    Yoox, Bluefly, and Gilt are the best online outlets. Gilt is like bluefly and yoox, but you need an invitation from a member to join.
    I have a few invitations left if anyone needs them
