Handbag Addict: Your Guide to Affordable Designer Inspired Accessories

The news is dismal. Job cuts, recession, foreclosures. People are buying less and the cycle spins faster and deeper. Does this mean you should avoid purchasing that baguette you’ve had your eyes on for a while now? Not necessarily. Granted purchasing an (authentic) Fendi or Bottega Venetta handbag may not be a great move, especially if you are on a budget. However, there are many designer inspired handbags available on the market that look just as fashion forward, trendy, and can certainly compete in quality.

First there are a number of handbags every lady should have in their closet to keep up with the latest trend and look great (and comfortable regardless of the occasion. These are clutches, satchels, baguettes, and a well designed hobo.

From my experience you can find any of these that look really great for well under $50 dollars. As a trend research analyst and buyer for www.50offbags.com I will give you a few pointers and tricks that will help you maximize you buy.

1) Design

See a designer handbag you just love but can not afford? Surf the internet, visit a department store, or a local boutique. Identify the body (clutch, shoulder bag, and tote) most less expensive handbags are in fact designer inspired. They are similar in body material and color.

2) Quality

First examine the construction of the handbag. How are the seams and straps? Do they hold well when pulled (with reasonable resistance)? Test all zippers and clasps, the bag should open and close with ease, all should function properly. If you are purchasing online make sure the retailer offers a money back guarantee.

3) Price

There are many components that make up price. Style, cost of material, country of origin, and a number of other factors. From my personal experience I prefer not to pay more than $50.00 for a great looking and great quality handbag. Many websites offer perks such as free shipping, deep discounts, or other coupons, that make a real bargain easy to get.

Don’t let the economy let you down, with some savvy shopper know how you can stuff your closet with the latest and hottest trends at a mere fraction of the price of a designer label. Feed your addiction and get to surfing now!
