1. The Seller:

You should always check out the sellers reputation before you buy stuff off the internet. If they have sold at least 15 items I would go ahead and bid on their listing if they have not sold any items I would not place a bid. Also be sure to check out comments left by other people who have brought from this person.

2. View Before You Buy!

If you can, you should see if you can view the item before you purchase it.

3. Searching for the Handbag:

There are many places online that offer designer label auctions. eBay is the first place I look and then I do a search in the search engine. I would type “designer purse auctions” or “designer handbag auctions” you will see a lot of sites pop up. Once you’ve looked through a site find someone who is selling handbags in your local area.

4. Images:

I do not recommend you bid on items being sold via auction that do not have attached images. Also do not just purchase a product based on the images.

5. Online Handbag Stores:

If you can’t find what you’re looking for at online handbag auction websites, try an online handbag store. Most normal stores offer discounts so type “Fav-Brand handbag discount” into the search engine. Once you’ve done that you should see a ton of results from sellers offering massive discounts.

Designers must be jumping for joy to experience the craze purses have produced these days. Women will go to great lengths to carry a famous Designer Handbag. Its so very important businesses have popped up in every shape and form catering to this market niche.

Thankful for the Internets global exposure entrepreneurs reach people in all parts of the world looking for a new designer purse. Handbags in every price range are available to rent or purchase online. To those of you who aren’t in the handbag circles paying $5000 for a pre owned Hermes handbag is no shock to those of us in the know!

There are Authentic Designer Purses and counterfeit faux with hefty price tags resembling the real bags. So be careful not to fall prey to a fake unless of course, that’s what you are in the market to purchase. Some of the counterfeits are so closely matched to the authentic handbags it takes an expert to know the difference. Prior to making a high priced handbag purchase visit a Discount Designer Handbag Blog for guidance. The one many people consult prior to making a purchase is located at ValueBags.com. You can email the Blog owner and receive a prompt reply. Be safe, not sorry.

So whether you are in the market for a quality designer valuebag priced under $100 or you are planning to buy your next $5000 Hermes handbag the internet is available to conduct thorough research prior to the purchase.

Wait! There are many purchase options. Websites offer consumers the opportunity to purchase a new bag put your bag on a layaway plan or borrow the bag instead of owning it. Personally the thought of borrowing a purse rubs me the wrong way. My head immediately starts asking questions. Who carried it last? What was inside it? Where had it been? You know all those weird thoughts about sanitation and germs!

Don’t laugh. You remember when you were a child and your mom told you not to touch anything when you were in a public restroom. Well think about it. A purse is a very important part of your personal equipment. Hey! I’ve even carried my Maltese in my purse. But he is my mutt so it is OK.

So borrowing a designer handbag regardless of the cost just doesn’t feel comfortable. However owning my own designer purse regardless of the cost is the price I am willing to pay for the tastes I have grown accustomed. There’s nothing wrong with bargain hunting and finding the best bag for the best price. There are several places to shop both online and off. When was the last time you went shopping and didnt find a sale, bargain or clearance event?

Please don’t take my opinion the wrong way. If you don’t mind carrying a purse after a stranger has used it, that’s your decision to make not mine. I like knowing the black Prada backpack I need to use when I travel is carefully stored in its sleeper bag in the closet waiting for my next trip. To allow the sharing my Vintage Gucci JackieO with a person I never met is unlikely. The same is true for my prized Hermes Birkin and Kelly bags. Could you imagine anyone else using your favorite purse? I’m so attached to most of my high end designer handbags they’ve become an integral part of my personal insignia.

So, here’s my final word of advice to all the designer handbag addicts. Save your money and invest in the bag of your dreams. If next year its no longer something you want to keep around, sell it, and buy another! There’s websites where you can recycle pre-owned authentic designer handbags.

Shop around. Buy authentic designer products, and enjoy them for a long time. Care for your bag babies and properly store them when they are not being used. Its very rare for a hot style to fall short in longevity. Look at the famous Fendi Baguette. Its still a hot little number and has been on the arms of the rich and not so famous for about ten years.

Designer handbags are the rage. Yes, its so true. You can buy a pair of jeans at the Gap for $60 and wear them carrying your $5000 Hermes. Now, doesn’t that sound more appealing than renting a purse? Think twice about membership fees adding up to the cost of a designer purse. Save your money and buy yourself that new Prada, Fendi, Gucci or Hermes. You’ll be very glad you did.

It has been reported on the news that lately some men seem to be taking up the habit of carrying purses, or at least what looks like a purse. The purses are being manufactured by many companies like Chanel, Roxy, Kenneth Cole, Christian Dior, Jansport, Embassy, Ellington, American West, Zero Halliburton, Lodis, and many more.

These bags are made out of Leather, PVC, Cotton, Nylon, Suede, Canvas, Satin, Down, Plastic, Beaded, and more. There seems to be a growing trend in men’s purses but there are some men who think it would strip their manhood if they are caught carrying a purse. Many of the bags seen are just camera bags, which contain the guy’s camera and film, etc.

This may be where the idea began or maybe the idea was started when some guy didn’t want the women to look better then them by carrying a fancy bag. We may never know what started it, but the purse manufacturers have grabbed the idea and are spitting out the men’s purses. The research shows that they are not much different than a ladies purse so why label them men’s or women’s?

They are just purses and if a man feels brave enough to carry one, that is his business. There will probably be a lot of people put off about it from some until the idea soaks in. This is not just a fad here in the United States. Men in London have been seen walking around with purses strapped over their shoulders. Wonder how many purses will be left in bathrooms until they get used to carrying them. It is ironic because a lot of women do not carry purses any more.

They like to use their pockets. Could it be that there is going to be a reversal trait here? Good, the men can cram the ladies things in their purses for a change. For many years the woman had to stuff everything from cigarettes to toys in their purses and carry the stuff for the men and kids. While some men’s bags look like ladies purses, some of them are just shopping bags made from reusable nylon.

The prices vary from around $8 up into the hundreds. Guess it depends on what the occasion is. If it is for evening wear, one would assume they would carry a leather or more expensive material bag. Wonder if the men models will soon be walking down the runway with a purse to match their suit? This subject is something that is going to get a lot of laughs for a while. It takes a lot of guts for a guy to walk down the street in New York or London with a purse slung over his shoulder.
