Find The Perfect Handbag Online - How To Shop For Designer Inspired Purses

Whether its J-Lo or Victoria Beckham, A-list stars set the

bar for looking great with the latest designer handbags. But

what if you are not a world famous film actress, or a hotel

chain heiress? What if you are like me and you put your

denims on without the assistance of a handsome man-servant?

Fortunately for us there are plenty of alternatives in the

world of fashion, especially when it comes to the latest arm

candy. With the distribution of designer-inspired purses in

retailers like Urban Outfitters and H&M, you can easily find

styles inspired by the likes of Bottega Veneta, Miu Miu, and

Marc Jacobs. But venture online and you'll unearth an entire

catalog of terrific handbag steals.

Never at a loss for options, if you type "handbags" into

Google over thirty-eight million results show up. But how do

you navigate through all this to find the elusive "It"

bag for you? For starters, it is always a good idea to

cruise the retail websites of the rich and famous. At sites

like Bergdorf Goodman and Saks Fifth, you can view the

latest designer styles that grace the pages of People and US

Weekly. Once you key in on the styles that catch your eye

(trust me girls, its always more than one), jot down the

handbag designers and/or model name and type them into

Google behind the phrase "inspired by." An extra tip, you

might also try keywords like "knockoffs" or "replicas." But

be careful, sometimes these results will also turn up

illegal fake handbags.

Once you have some search results in front of you, the next

step is to zero in on the bag that you're looking for. By

now you should have several pages of results to examine.

Click through some of the results, and find a purse retailer

that looks professional. You always want to shop from

fashion retailers that have a clean, professional online

presentation. Website quality is always a good indicator of

product and customer service quality. Companies that are

meticulous about their presentation tend to pay close

attention to the details of their products and services.

Never shop at sites that look messy and disorganized,

regardless of the price. You might be setting

yourself up for a big headache.

After you have found the bag that you're looking for on a

reputable designer-inspired handbag website, be sure to

double-check the dimensions of the bag to ensure it is the

right size for your frame. Designer-inspired handbags are

not always cut to the exact dimensions of the originals that

inspired them. It is important to measure for yourself.

Alternatively, it also helps to shop for your handbags from

sites that offer images with models or mannequins. Those

will give you a good idea of how a handbag might appear

draped over your own arm or shoulder.

If your father didn't rake in millions crooning "hello, is

it me you're looking for," don't worry. If you have followed

all of the steps, you should be buying a handbag style for

less than fifty dollars when it usually retails for

thousands! Also the smart advantage of buying the inspired

versions is that you can afford to pick and choose different

styles to match your wardrobe. And if you ever find yourself

in the market for an expensive designer handbag,

you can always "test drive" the inspired version first.
