Don't discount Vintage bags. Some of the vintage bags are more fashionable than today's looks. As always buy a bag that is well made. Be sure that the edges of the potential bag are not tattered and beaten up. Vintage Beaded bags sometimes can have loose beading. Depending on the thread used, many vintage bags can hold up very well, but it is an excellent question to ask a seller when you are considering a vintage beaded handbag.

I came across an Iman bag one day on ebay, and it inspired me to do this site. I was struck that such a spectacular bag was going for 6 dollars on ebay, .............. it caused me to do a double take on my own handbag considering a trade up. Her satchel "it" bag, comes in a variety of colors, and is available through many ebay sellers for under 10 dollars. Yes, you heard me right! The faux crocodile gives off a more expensive look that many hot designers such as Ralph Lauren are doing for an arm and a leg. I personally love the Emerald color. What is great about this bag, is it is oversized a bit. Check out the last picture. I didn't realize it was so big, which makes it an even better buy!
