Q: I live in LA, the most image focused place on earth, where cars and designer bags are instant status symbols. I would like to purchase a designer bag, without going into major debt. I’m a big fan of Gucci . Where can find a REAL Gucci bag, either offline or online, without spending a billion dollars?
A: There’s several places, both online and offline, to find Gucci bags for less. Take a look at YOOX.COM, an European based website selling real designer merchandise at a discount. They have the basic Gucci logo bags starting from $250. Also check out SmartBargains.com
. They have tons of styles, good prices, and offer coupon codes for additional savings. Bluefly.com
is also another great option. However, keep in mind that Gucci bags, even at a discount, will be pretty expensive ($300-$800).
Offline may actually be a little more difficult. I would call Rodeo Drive Resale (818.783.2330 – Beverly Hills), Laura’s Boutique (818.752.2835 – Studio City), Group International Outlet (310-478-1593- LA) and (off 5th) Saks Fifth Avenue Outlet (805.987.4475) to see if they have any Gucci bags in stock. Make sure to call before heading over.
