Burberry, an English designer brand known for its statement making plaid, has grown to one of the must have brands for fashionistas. Finding handbags and accessories at below retail prices is possible but you just need to know where to look.

Designer brands use sample sales to sell excess or older merchandise. They often set up in a warehouse and open for a very limited time. Traditionally, these sales have been held in New York or L.A., but recently, it is not unusual to find a sample sale online. Most require an invitation and sign-up, but once registered, you will have direct access to designer accessories at rock bottom pricing.

Consignment Stores

It is not unusual to find high end designer handbags in consignment stores that focus on better brands. Making friends with the owner can be helpful. She can contact you went a particular item or style comes in that you are looking for.

Outlet Stores

Burberry has a series of outlet stores throughout the country at better outlet chains including Premium and Prime. The goods are all first quality, but may be a season or two old. Many of these stores are in or near large metropolitan areas and can be easily reached.
