I always love purchasing new designer handbags to celebrate a new season, major milestone or accomplishment, or sometimes just because!  But with my handbag addiction, it can get pricey so I’m always looking for ways to find designer bags for cheap. I’ve been resorting to eBay for over a year now to find designer bags for cheap and I’ve been loving my results!

5 TIPS TO FIND DESIGNER BAGS FOR CHEAP

RESEARCH THE SELLER

It can always be a bit daunting to purchase a designer bag from a 3rd party source (over the brand retail location) because there has been a huge amount of fake and replica bags popping up online for those looking for the designer look for less.  But the old saying still holds true; if the price is too good to be true, it probably is. If you find a seller on eBay offering a designer bag for cheap–let’s call it a Louis Vuitton LockMe backpack purse for $500 chances are its a replica and you’re the one getting scammed.  Research your sellers in advance and look for those with high ratings, positive feedback, and a solid amount of listings.

DETERMINE AUTHENTICITY

Expanding on my previous point, there are sellers out there looking to take advantage of buyers who are looking for a good deal, so make sure you determine the designer bag to be authentic before placing your bid or making a purchase.  I remember a time in high school I found that 2004 era multicolor Louis Vuitton bag for $200 and I thought I found the deal of a lifetime scoring a designer bag for cheap–but turns out I got taken advantage of and when I received the bag it was low quality, smelled horrible, and most importantly the artist behind the design wasn’t properly compensated.

eBay offers a new service called eBay Authenticate which helps protect buyers from shady sellers by providing expert authentication services to independently check the handbag for key details to help you buy with confidence.  And if you want to sell a handbag? They can help with that too and make sure you get it’s value with a verified listing.

WATCH ITEMS AND OBSERVE THE PRICE CHANGES

If I know there is an “it bag” I want for the season, I’ll watch some items to see how the prices flux and adjust based on demand.  You can start to observe what offers get accepted, what auctions ultimately end up going for, and can get a pretty nice deal on your dream bag!

And aside from designer bags for cheap, I’ve been loving saving searches for seasonal items that I’ll want to purchase later.  Specifically I’d been looking for these Vans slip on sneakers for summer.  They are sold out everywhere but I was able to set a search and find them on eBay!

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ‘BUY IT NOW’

This is probably my favorite feature on eBay–wanting that instant gratification of finding a good deal! As fun as auctions and bidding may be, it can be heartbreaking to find your perfect designer bag for cheap just to have someone outbid you at the last minute.  If I find something that is a solid deal and something I love, I click that “Buy it now” button and make it mine.

FIND BRAND NEW ITEMS

Looking for cheap designer bags that are current? eBay has them! eBay isn’t just used items but a huge percentage are actually brand new.  Filter your search to include new items to make sure you’re the first one to love that designer bag!

I think about this ALL. THE. TIME. ✨ I think about this ALL. THE. TIME. ✨
✨ Harrison Finnley Michaels 12/8/2019 ✨ Three ✨ Harrison Finnley Michaels 12/8/2019 ✨
Three months with this little guy and our worlds are rocked. He’s gone from just opening his eyes to rolling over, pushing himself up, grabbing at toys (and my phone as I type this out). He loves to laugh and talk in his baby language all day long 🤣 and sleeps all through the night 🙌🏼 How did we get so blessed with him?! @kmichaels216
Wedding Bells 💍 We are finally diving into some Wedding Bells 💍
We are finally diving into some wedding planning after our engagement last year and not going to lie, it’s overwhelming! We are super laid back and are looking for something small to celebrate. For me, this day isn’t about a big, fancy dress, or hundreds of guests to entertain. It’s about spending time with Kevin and I together committing our lives to one another. I was recommended to check out @shutterfly’s The Wedding Shop and mocked up an invite in this beautiful botanical print perfectly personalized to us and our style. Love our custom candle (smells so good!) and champagne flutes too! Check out my stories for more behind the scenes of unpacking our wedding items and some close ups! #MyShutterfly (ad)
CATCHING UP, what do you have going on this week? CATCHING UP, what do you have going on this week?
• This morning I had an eye exam to check my contacts / glasses Rx. I shared new glasses on Stories but turns out the Rx was wrong in them. I’m TRYING to wear my glasses more around the house and splurged on a pair from @ysl hoping that would help me do it 🤣🤓
• I haven’t been a big concealer wearer but I’ve been testing out the @urbandecaycosmetics naked concealer and have been liking how light it feels on my skin (I’m wearing it here, dress is new from @urbanoutfitters!)
• A work-related project this week—I’m trying to get my inbox of 700 emails down to zero. My problem is that I’ll get an email with some great piece of info in it and think “oh this is great! I can’t work on this right now but I’ll save for when I can” and I mark it unread. Well over time that has added up to 700 😬 I’m thinking of tackling it by sorting through and noting down whatever idea it is in my notebook (paper planner for LIFE! 📒) to reference it and have them all in one place. Maybe this will work!
• I’m currently sitting here watching this little baby sleep and the whole “I want to eat this baby” thing is SO REAL. What is it about babies where it makes us say that?!? He loves his @bibs_usa and @mushie_co!
• I’m considering cutting 3-4 inches from my hair....but here’s the kicker...I have this weird urge to DO IT MYSELF. Maybe I don’t want to put it off until I can get an appointment but I just want to cut it now. Please you guys, talk me out of doing this with scissors in the bathroom 🤣✂️
• Kevin and I have been binge watching @abcscandal and it’s SO ADDICTING. If you haven’t watched it, join us on Netflix but don’t blame me when you’re 2 episodes past your bedtime 😜 we are currently on season 4 of 7!
• WHAT ARE YOU UP TO THIS WEEK???
NEW MOM FASHION AND BEAUTY HACKS: 💁🏼‍♀️
1️⃣ Style your hair once ride that beautiful hair through the week with minimal effort. I use the @t3micro curling wand on day 1 fresh hair to put a little curl in it. On days 2-4 I use dry shampoo—my favorite is @livingproofinc to soak up oil, and then on days 5+ when dry shampoo doesn’t cut it anymore I throw on a cute beanie
2️⃣ Still trying to “bounce back” (whatever that means...) after baby? Same mama, same. @spanx leather-look leggings suck it all in and help as a postpartum support during healing. Win win!
3️⃣ Duster coats are the ONLY thing I want to wear. Not only do they keep you cozy as we wait for spring, but having pockets is NECESSARY for me. Phone in one, pacifier in another, and whatever other random things I need to bring with me when my arms are full with a baby
4️⃣ Lots of undereye concealer for that 8 hours of sleep look. @tartecosmetics shape tape is a favorite but I’ve been testing out @urbandecaycosmetics stay naked concealer and really like it for more natural coverage
MAMAS, WEIGH IN: What are you mom fashion and beauty hacks?! #newmomhacks
Our morning walk ritual ☺️ It’s still been a Our morning walk ritual ☺️
It’s still been a bit chilly out in the mornings but that doesn’t stop us from bundling up (in matching hats no less!) and going for a walk around our neighborhood. Baby carrying is a wonderful thing once you get the hang of it! I love how it gives you a bit of a workout with the added weight of a baby (Harrison is 11lbs now!) and gives them a chance to look around with a different view than the stroller. I can’t wait until he’s big enough to be front facing and then he can really look out at the world. I’ve been using the @nuna_usa @potterybarnkids CUDL carrier (this fabric is the broken arrow caviar) and my favorite feature are the magnetic clips that automatically snap into place to hold baby snugly. #lovemypbk
