I've had the fortune of being in the retail industry for 30+ years, and have spent a lot of time with fashion retailers such as Limited Brands, Nieman Marcus, Coach, and others. I have always been intrigued by the brand each one of these fashion retailers have created that separates them from the pack.
While top-end fashion prices are mostly dictated by the materials used in manufacturing and the quality of workmanship, the "branding" also plays a major part of the "value" these high-end retailers provide.
One of the most visible examples of this branding is in designer handbags. Having a wife and two teen-age daughters at home, I'm all too aware of how much scrutiny a purchase decision for a designer handbag includes.
There are many choices today for designer handbags, for example - Prada handbags, Gucci handbags, Coach handbags, Fendi handbags, Kate Spade handbags, Jimmy Choo handbags, Miu Miu handbags, and many more designer inspired handbag options. On top of that, there are other options such as vintage handbags, replica handbags and handmade handbags.
The bottom line though is that there currently is a high demand for designer handbags. Except for the highest end (for example, Hermes handbags), designer handbags are now becoming more affordable. Part of this is because there is more competition, and part of it is because there are now more options of where you can purchase designer handbags.
The internet and e-commerce have really brought high-end products like designer handbags to the masses. For many years, the only place to get designer handbags was at high-end retail stores which were typically only in the major cities. People who had no access to these stores really had no access to these products.
Today there are numerous internet websites that specialize in designer handbags. These websites provide quality, genuine, authentic and original designer handbags from a variety of places. For example, original designer handbag providers make their products available through affiliate programs. Another great place to purchase designer handbags is off eBay. You can find a wide variety of eBay sponsored websites, not only for designer handbags, but for many other products as well.
Another important factor is that there are now replica handbags give customers seeking designer inspired handbags more options. While they are obviously not "the same" as the authentic designer handbag that you could buy on 5th Avenue, today's quality of replica handbags can provide a great alternative. I see many teen-age girls carrying replica handbags of some of the best authentic designer handbag options.
So the moral of this story is, if you are a designer handbag lover, you have more options today than any woman that has come before you. Shop around, and you will find the right designer handbag for your style.
