Designer Handbags Reach Record High Average $2,000 Fall 2009

Shopping in Beverly Hills last week I strolled Wilshire
Boulevard popping in and out of fancy stores sizing up all the
new designer handbags. There are a number of new looks for Fall
2005, and prices have a new look, too. Did you know designer
handbags have become the staple in most wardrobes? It doesn?t
take a genius to buy a pair of jeans and a T-shirt, but to
purchase the correct designer handbag to pull it all together
has become quite an art.

In conversations with many handbag salespeople, it was obvious
the upcoming season will offer a variety of wild colors, exotic
leathers, and metallic finished leathers. They will appear in
shoulder styles, clutches, slings and large totes. Most designer
bags remain consistent in size and function. The variations from
season to season come to color, hardware, texture and price.

Prices are a difficult topic for handbag lovers to discuss, it
became the purpose of the Beverly Hills shopping trip. Which
designers will rise to the top? Which handbags will have the
highest price tags? These thoughts offered astonishing
observations wondering through the high-end boutiques and
department stores.

Doing a bit of mental gymnastics with a few designer handbag
price tags, it became obvious a calculator was needed! Prices
are competing with Los Angeles mortgage payments! One designer
bag, constructed of scratch resistant, pebble grain calf
leather, had a hefty $3500.00 price tag. Durability to last a
life time is a major characteristic of a quality handbag, but
let?s get real here, women change handbags as often as they
change their nail polish. Paying hefty prices for a designer
handbag a few times each month is fashionable, but not healthy
or wise.

Not mentioning any names, a lengthy conversation with a handbag
specialist in a very well-known department store shed light on
the day?s mission. We strolled the designer handbag department
with calculator in hand. Punching in numbers of our favorite
high-end designer, we came up with a hefty five-figure total for
10 handbags. Then, with jaws dropped open, the average price was
uncovered! As expected, little was left to shock and surprise.
Based on a sampling of the designer handbag prices, the price
for a brand new, high-end designer handbag this season averages
an all-time high of $2000.00 USD.

Oh my! What a price we pay to pull it all together ? that pair
of denim jeans and T-shirt! We have become the hunters in search
of the best designer handbag we can find. And, when we know it
will coordinate with a pair of jeans and a T-shirt, then we know
we?ve selected the best bag. We want to look good, and we want
to feel good, too. It would be nice to know we can purchase a
bag from a new designer and still make a mortgage payment this
same month.

Here?s a solution. For those of us who know style and don?t want
to compromise quality, find a designer handbag expert to coach
and guide your investments. Lacking modesty, I?ll volunteer
recommendations on a variety of designer handbags available at a
fraction of what you?d expect to pay in a retail store.

You can actually purchase several handbags for the average cost
of one designer handbag if you shop wisely. If you are a true
designer handbag addict, and you purchase a new handbag whenever
you get the urge, then you need a reliable source. Shop
carefully at sites specializing in designer handbags, and you’ll
find your favorite designers at as much as 50% less than the
average cost on Rodeo Drive
