| Times are tough, but women are still buying designer handbags |

It doesn't matter what the economy is doing, women still want to feel good about carrying a designer handbag. Women are still buying purses. They may not be spending thousands of dollars on a new purse, but nonetheless, they are still buying bags.
There are the very high priced designer handbags like Fendi, Gucci, Prada, Valentino, Lanvin and Chanel for the upper crust. These designs usually run into the thousands for a new purse. Of course, you get high quality craftmanship, materials and hardware if you are willing to and can afford to pay top dollar for a new purse. But, nowadays, it seems as thought the "it" bag craze has somewhat subsided. It hasn't stopped, it's just not as important anymore as it used to be. Now, the people who can afford to spend a few thousand dollars on a new handbag do, and the others find an alternative route to getting the bag of their dreamy needs.
Many new designers are hitting the market like no other time in the history of designer handbags. It's a tough and competitive business. The cost of manufacturing, outsourcing and importing all take its toll on the final product, its price and availability.
Women will find a way to get themselves a new designer handbag even during tough times. With the cost of gasoline competing with fashion, a women needs to think creatively to obtain that new tote bag. Some of the moderately priced designers are doing very well these days at supplying just the right product at the right price with perfect timing.
Elaine Turner introduced a leather handbag collection with much success in the early 2000's. Women love her handbags because they are priced right, made extremely well and have a classic design and style. The Elaine Turner handbag collection is very sophisticated, well made and priced from $200 - $500 each. Elaine Turner uses many reptile embossed leathers in her styles. She is sold at majoy department stores throughout the USA. Her home base is Dallas, Texas.
Paying $2000 for a new handbag may not be realistic for everyone, but $200 may just do the trick. The Tano leather handbag ranges from about $100 - $200 each. The bags are funky, comfortable and roomy. Another designer we'll all soon grow to love is Melie Bianco. Her handbags range from $50 - $70 and are constructed of synthetic leather making them very eco-friendly. Melie Bianco takes the best from the best and designs handbags every woman can afford to own.
A few years ago two sisters from Paris (France), Murial and Valerie, introduced the Murval Handbag collection. Murval handbags are very cost effective with prices ranging from $20 - $50. They haven't quite caught on in the USA as much as they have in Europe, but they will become very popular as time goes on.
It's only natural that women get what they want, when they want it. It may not always be exactly as planned, but as the old saying goes, "you can't always get what you want, but if you try sometime, you just might find, you'll get what you need." When it comes to a new designer handbag, regardless of the economy, women always get what they need!
