If you are thinking to invest your monthly pay in a designer bag, you should really read this post before.We all love designer bags. They can become the object of our dreams, They use to be on the top of our wishlists. We would love to buy a new one every month if only they weren’t so expensive.So when you decide to invest part of your salary in a designer bag you should be really sure to make the best bargain.
And if you are an European who lives in Doha, where everything, and I mean every brand, is more, and I mean much more, expensive than Europe, you should seriously go ahead in reading this post.

Here my tips to try to score a designer bag without spending all your money.

This is the first rule to follow, especially if you live in Doha. My online shopping activity is increased a lot since I moved in Qatar. The reason? I always find the same product at a lower price. Well, honestly not simply at lower price but at a price much-much lower than the one in boutiques (sometimes the difference is also like 1000qr – 200 euro)

But this rule should be followed by everybody. Normally there are more chance to find lower prices online than in stores.

Most of e-commerce sites tends to cuddle their customers with special promotions or with pre-sales. So add your contact to mailing list and enjoy the offers! (I did it with two of my favourite online shopping sites Shoescribe.com and Placedestendences.com).

If you can’t buy more than one designer bags for year, it’s probably better to avoid any model which are trendy in the current season but which will probably be forgotten in the next one.

All brands have their carry-over. Choose from them.

There are several second-hand websites that really offer fabulous items, in perfect conditions and with good prices. One of those I use to check more often is The Real Real.

Doha is an expensive city and as I told you before, most of brands push prices too much up, if compared with Europe. But Doha is also the city where there are amazing sales!

I bought all my Celine bags, Marc Jacobs clutch, Diane Von Furstenmberg bag in Doha for ridiculous prices (compared with normal prices,of course).

To not miss any sales follow social media of biggest department stores / boutiques in town. Or follow me on Facebook and Instagram, I always try to keep my followers updated on last news!

For example, now Salam Stores is offering a good discount (50% off) on a great variety of brands. Check it at The Gate Mall.
