Exposing My Secrets To Buy Designer Items For CHEAP!

It’s no secret that I love designer bags & shoes. How do I get them at a bargain? How do I get designer dresses for 80% off? I’m sharing all my tips and tricks with you so you can save major dollars and own designer items.

Sample Sales

Recently I’ve been addicted to sample sales. I went to Reformation and Cult Gaia and got amazing dresses, shoes, and bags for about 65-80% off. 260 Sample Sales has locations in New York City, Chicago, LA, Dallas, and Miami. However, if you don’t live in one of these cities don’t worry. They do weekly online sales. I’ve purchased from their online sales too and they are great too! Here is a link to their online sales!

If you live in one of the cities mentioned here is a list of brands and dates of upcoming sample sales.

Also, follow me on Instagram because I always do unboxings from the sample sales I go too!

Fashionphile

Fashionphile is my favorite online pre-owned store. I’ve been purchasing from them for years. I bought my chanel boy bag (photo above) from them. Over the years I’ve probably purchased 20 bags from them. The are reputable and only sell authentic handbags. Neiman Marcus purchased part of their company a few years ago and partners with them.

This is one of the best places to save serious money on designer bags and shoes.

Poshmark Live

I won this amazing Chanel tote on a Poshmark Live show! There are tons of luxury shows and a lot of them do low start bids for designer items. I’ve won quite a few items but this Chanel tote is my BEST win! I got it for around $1,100 which is a steal for Chanel. I got a Prada backpack for $200 (needed some cleaning). The Poshmark shows are addicting – so don’t say I didn’t warn you!

If you’re new to Poshmark use code CHRISTINABTV for $10 off your first order!

Therealreal

Therealreal is another place I score major bargains on shoes, jewelry, bags, and clothes! They sell everything designer at insane discounts. Most of the items are gently used. I purchased my Prada sneakers here and lots of dresses from my favorite brands like Loveshackfancy and For Love & Lemons.

Every month they do buy more save more events. This means you get a gift card if you spend a certain amount. I usually heart items and make a purchase during this event so I get a gift card!

UAL

UAL is a liquidator for authentic designer goods. They have an online store and brick and mortar stores in Austin, Houston, Nashville, New Orleans, Metairie and Hattiesburg.

They put out new items every week! I purchased a pair of Agolde leather jeans for $56 that retailed for $300 and were still on websites as current season! I also got a pair of Aquazzura crystal heels that retailed for $2,200 for $336. These are also current season shoes that are being sold on retailers websites for full price!

I imagine the brick & mortar stores have great inventory that is not posted online and the next time I’m in Austin I plan on stopping by!

I hope these tips helped you and happy shopping!

Here is my most current designer handbag collection and many of these items were purchased from places I mentioned!
