Get a handle on designer bags
From Cynthia Nellis,
Your Guide to Women's Fashion.
They fit even on "fat" days, last more than one season, and spiff up plain-jane ensembles.
Even at $300 and up, high-end handbags are still one of the most accessible ways to enjoy designer goods without breaking the bank. Logomania may have eased off some in the past few seasons, but designer handbags still top many fashionista "must-buy" lists. Launched in June '00, is putting its money where the fashion shelf life is -- in handbags.
If a big-name bag is out of your reach, try these methods for buying it for less than full price:
Off-price e-tailers often have brands like Prada, Gucci and Fendi bags for much less than retail. Used and vintage accessories are traded at Piece Unique, a virtual consignment store -- it's not unusual to see Chanel, Hermes and other luxe brands here. Want something different? Go vintage with Gucci, Halston and others at Enokiworld.
For now, there are plenty of high-profile designer bags. Here's where to find them:

The Hayden by Dooney & Bourke
from Batch PleaseHollywood's newest "it" girl, Hayden Panettiere is the latest celebrity face for designer handbag brand Dooney & Bourke. The "Hayden" is a limited edition Dooney & Bourke bag designed by the starlet herself. “I wanted to do something people haven’t seen from Dooney & Burke before, so my bag is red patent leather,” said Hayden of her eponymous bag. I definitely agree with Hayden. This bag is definitely something different for the Dooney & Bourke brand. They're known more for classically styled leather handbags, not something as bold as red patent leather. I think this is a good look for the brand though. The bag is cute and I think it will appeal to trendsetters of all ages. If you're interested in owning the "Hayden," it will go on sale this December for $500.

Is It a Dooney and Bourke Original or a Knockoff? High end designer handbags bring a highend price as well and you may be tempted to purchase a cheap Dooney and Bourke handbag. There are many sellers that openly advertise that they carry replica designer handbags but there are just as many unscrupulous dealers out there that will try to pass off a counterfeit Dooney and Bourke handbag as the real thing. Do your homework. Ask yourself if the item seems authentic, or is the price too good to be true? Know the trademark features of Dooney and Bourke handbags. Most of the handbags will have a serial number tag sewn inside. Be especially careful when purchasing from an online auction site and if you are not completely familiar with the authentic product.
It has been stated that as much of 90% of all designer handbags on some auction sites are fakes. And remember that you will never find an original Dooney and Bourke sold on a street corner or at a flea market.
