6 Tips for Finding Designer Labels on a Budget
Treasure Hunt at Thrift Stores finding Designer Labels on a Budget
Louis Vuitton, Michael Kors, Coach, UGG's (like the UGG Women's Bailey Button Triplet Boot
1. Shop Discount Stores. Stores like Ross, TJ Maxx and Michael's often carry designer clothes at rock bottom prices. I am a TJ Maxx diehard shopper ( I furnished my first house through layaway at TJ Maxx). The drawback to shopping at discount stores is the stores aren't always very organized and the styles and size selections are limited. If you are willing to spend the time looking through the racks and possibly checking back on a weekly basis, you can find some awesome name brands at amazing prices! Maxxinista's could perhaps score a Coach Peyton Signature Sateen Metallic Shoulder Bag (below) or even a Michael Kors Jet Set Women's East West Large Purse (even more below).
2. Shop Second Hand Stores. Most people do not throw away designer clothing, they will either resale it or donate it. If you have never shopped second-hand stores before, you might be surprised at all the designer clothing you can find. Finding designer clothing at a second-hand store is almost like a challenge! You really do have to consistently check back on a regular basis to see what new items have been donated. Designer clothing goes very quick at second-hand stores. Now I am humming Thriftshop by Macklemore.

3. Consignment Shops. Shopping at consignment shops is probably the very best way to get designer clothing for a fraction of the cost. The way consignment shops work is actually pretty simple. The store sales items that the customers have brought in. When the store sales an item the customer gets a % of that sale. All of the items sold in a consignment store are typically used items but at second-hand store prices. Consignment shops typically charge a little more than second-hand stores, but normally focus on designer clothing. Designer Labels on a budget
At my local consignment store, I picked up the Dior Train Case pictured below. I love to travel with it. Make sure to check out your local consignment shop!
4. Shop Department Stores. Now we all know that buying designer clothing at department stores is far from affordable! A pair of Miss Me jeans will typically sale for about $130 at Macy's or Nordstrom. Most of us can not afford to spend $130 on a pair of jeans, thus the reason we are looking at second-hand and consignment stores. However, both Macy's and Nordstrom have sales throughout the year where items are heavily discounted. Make sure to sign up for the Macy's and Nordstrom newsletter so you know when these big sales events are going to be taking place. You can find some amazing deals during these major sale days. Designer Labels on a budget
For instance, I sntached up this fabulous Mosey Life Duffy Weekender Cross-Body Handbag (pictured below) because it was hot pink and a discontinued color. This is the best travel purse I have ever owned and I paid less than half for it on department store clearance.
Focus on Quality Materials for designing the label
5. Amazon.com. When in doubt, check Amazon out. Amazon has an amazing array of Designer Clothing
6. Go eBaying. eBay is the first site that I ever purchased a designer label from. I have been shopping on eBay for over 15 years and I love discovering new things or finding a great deal. I especially love saving money.
