Designer handbags are something that many women would love to get their hands on, since they are fashionable, high quality, and carry a brand name that is known around the globe. The only problem is that designer handbags can be very expensive depending on the brand, and not everyone can afford to fork over hundreds of dollars for a new purse. Because of this, many women look to "discount" stores for buying their designer handbags. Unfortunately that usually translates to no discount at all since they charge retail price and rarely offer discounts or sales. The benefit of purchasing directly from the retailer though, is that one can be fairly sure they are purchasing an authentic handbag, rather than a fake that someone is trying to make money off of.Of course the best place to purchase designer handbags is from the manufacturer themselves, since they will definitely be authentic items. Downside is that a manufacturers store can be quite expensive as you will most likely be paying full MSRP price. Sometimes they are offered at a discounted price because they are either from last season or not selling in the main retail stores, but that is often not the case for a good designer bag. Another option is a designer handbag outlet store which can be found all over the country and on the internet. These discount outlet stores offer the same quality designer handbags from some of the most popular brands, including Coach, Dooney and Bourke, Louis Vuitton, and much more.
