Recently, I was on a shopping trip to New York City and found myself wandering through Saks. I can’t afford anything in the store but browsing in such a classy store is something that I enjoy doing. Naturally, I gravitated towards the section that had women’s handbags. It made me sad to see that I wasn’t going to be able to afford any of the purses there as the prices were out of reach for me. How is it that other people can afford so much to spend on a handbag and I can’t? I sighed when I looked at my own cheap purse and had to walk away. My Blue Betsey Johnson handbag is looking worn out, but has been my faithful companion for years.There is not a single purse in the world that I would even consider spending a small fortune to purchase.

You see so many knock-offs of Red Juicy handbags on the streets over the authentic ones. Most of the replica cheap purses are identical to the authentic purses that you”ll spend a fortune purchasing. In fact, if you see an average person walking around with a purse that flaunts an expensive brand name – chances are, it is a replica.

Most of us want style and durability from our handbags, but in many cases that can conflict with the price we are willing to pay. I mean, let’s face it – women put anything and everything in their purses. I’m always amazed at how many things I find in my purse that I don’t remember putting inside of it.

By trying to stay trendy and keep that sense of style that sets you apart from the crowd, you should probably take a look at alternatives to expensive handbags. Do yourself a favor. Look online and find a store that sells affordable handbags that are stylish, but not outrageously priced. Besides, there are other things (besides purses) that you need your money for.
