When it comes to shopping, I am more prone to buying handbags than clothes. I am known to my family and friends as a fanatic handbag lover.

To be honest, I can’t really afford designer handbags. I only shop for discount designer handbags. I mean genuine designer handbags which are at hugely discounted prices.

Is it possible they are fake ones? No. If you frequent your favorite designer’s outlet, you can be sure that discount designer handbags are not cheap imitations. You will also find that there are many discount designer handbags available when the season changes at which time everything is being attempted to be cleared from existing stocks.

Most of my handbag shopping tips I learned from handbag lovers in the Stylehive. Stylehive is the world’s largest social shopping community. All the fanatical shopping bees in the Stylehive share their hottest fashion finds and trends among each other.

It is a fantastic resource for handbags as all the hot handbags are found, “hived”, and tagged “handbag” by all the fanatical handbag lovers in the Stylehive. Whenever I need to know the latest trend of handbags, I will hop over and hive the ones I love. I can blog about them, put my comments or save them as wishlist items first.

Handbag lovers who can’t afford designer handbags can buy replica handbags to achieve the latest fashion look without paying thousands of dollars for original designer handbags. Computer users can opt for compatible ink cartridges that are cheaper and produce same quality results as their newer counterparts.

As a designer handbag lover and computer user, I am suspicious of the quality of replica handbags and also compatible ink cartridges.

Compatible ink cartridges are not branded with a well-known name, so I feel that compatible ink cartridges could damage my printer. However, it has been proven that compatible ink cartridges can be just as good as branded cartridges. They also do not cause damages to the printers.

Computer users are able to save almost 60% to 80% of general printing costs by using compatible ink cartridges. Compatible ink cartridges are definitely more cost-effective as they print equal number of pages as that of branded ink cartridges.

Another fact is that compatible ink does not affect warranty of the printers.

In the 1990s, the fashion industry pulled off the ultimate marketing coup by introducing trendy, luxurious accessories that women would feel compelled to replace every season.

Thus pricey handbags and shoes became the new stars in fashion, hyped to the max by photos of celebrities wearing them.

Among the “It” bags that caught fire in recent years were Louis Vuitton’s colorful and cartoony Murakami bags, Yves Saint Laurent’s Mombasa, Prada’s bowling bags and Fendi’s Spy bags.

The point of today’s designer handbags isn’t creating classics but pushing seasonal novelties to convince women who wear them that they’re on the cutting edge of fashion.

If you desire a truly classic handbag that will span the seasons, let your individual style guide you toward bags that are beautiful, functional and a bit more anonymous.

I prefer discount handbags with no logos, minimal hardware such as metal rings and buckles, and snappy-looking top handles that are long enough to fit over my shoulder.
