Q: Where can I find vintage designer handbags?

A: During a recent conversation about how expensive handbags have become, a good friend tipped me to shopping designer vintage, which can deliver a great designer piece for far less than current retail. While local consignment stores can carry a good bounty, a great place to shop for vintage designer goods is eBay, where you'll find an abundance of options at surprisingly affordable prices. But, buyer beware! Counterfeit merchandise can be mixed in with authentic offerings. The best thing to do is your homework: research details and sellers carefully before buying.
