With the right bag, you can rule the world. A great bag can elevate any outfit and lift any bad mood. The caveat? They’re expensive and are only increasing in price.

Sure, you can head to typical department stores and troll the sale racks or wait for a style you love to get marked down, but this method doesn’t always work. For starters, there’s a lot of waiting involved. Plus, some designer labels have made it so their merchandise will never, ever go on sale (ahem, Chanel). This makes it increasingly alluring to look for deals elsewhere. Luckily, there are tons of options on the Internet for you to consider. Refer to this as your how-to guide for shopping discounted luxury bags.

When it comes to bags, I prefer to do my shopping online. Finding an affordable bag you actually love in a real-life vintage store or consignment shop can be damn near impossible! And wouldn’t you rather buy a designer bag from a site that actually authenticates every single piece before you get it home and realize it’s not the real deal? Many of these sites have entire teams that work to guarantee that your selected bag is legit. Some sites also come with handy apps that you can download onto your phone so that you never miss an alert about a flash sale or must-have new arrival.

QVC

I was as surprised as you probably are to discover that QVC has a great selection of pre-owned designer handbags (plus, they’re at a great price). From Louis Vuitton to Chanel, this should definitely be one of your go-to browsing destinations when shopping for a new designer bag.

Saks Fifth Avenue

It’s common knowledge that Saks Fifth Avenue is a great place to get a full-priced designer bag but the retailer’s designer sale is where the real treasure is at. A few times a year, Saks discounts full-priced designer items up to 50 percent off. Right now, you can get bags from brands like Valentino, Coach and more.

FWRD

If you like shopping at Revolve, then you’ll love the brand’s bougie sister site FWRD. In case you missed it, Kendall Jenner was named the creative director at FWRD at frequently releases edits of her favorite items. Even better, some of them go on sale! You can find brands like Jacquemus, Paco Rabane and By Far for far less.

REVOLVE

Revolve is a great destination to find items by smaller designers like Ulla Johnson, Golden Goose, See by Chloe and All Saints. The price points for these brands come in at under $500 and are a little lower than the bags you’ll find on Revolve’s sister site, FWRD.

TJ Maxx

Items on TJ Maxx’s site are discounted up to 60 percent off the normal retail price, so it’s quickly become one of the Internet’s hidden gems when it comes to designer bags and purses. They even have a dedicated Designer Shop so you can get straight to the good stuff—like this mini By Far bag.

Marshalls

Marshalls has made a name for itself by providing amazing pieces at a major discount—so why wouldn’t that extend to luxury bags, too? Items are generally discounted between 20 and 60 percent off and they get new pieces in all the time, so the site is worth coming back and checking out every so often. I would also recommend going to any of the IRL Marshalls store locations, because no two stores have exactly the same selection!

There’s no denying that Coach is one of the most in-demand brands right now. But did you know that it has an outlet site that offers major discounts on some of its most-loved silhouettes and styles?

If you’ve had your eye on a designer bag of yore, I recommend checking to see if it’s listed on The RealReal. The site lists the estimated retail value of every designer item right next to the price you’ll be paying, so you know you’re getting a good deal. Shop from the site’s Under $300 collection if you’re looking to really get some bang for your buck.

Analysis-Panama presidential contenders downplay gathering economic clouds
With Panama's business-friendly reputation bruised by a recent move to close a copper mine accounting for 5% of GDP, the country's next president will face unusually tough choices in trying to get its economy back on an even keel. But while economists and even some politicians are urging the May 5 election's victor toward unpopular measures to boost depleted coffers - including a troubled state pension system - the five frontrunners are squarely focused on the spending side of the ledger. Fitch ratings recently downgraded Panama's debt to speculative grade, citing fiscal and governance pressures aggravated by the move to close First Quantum Minerals' giant copper mine following nationwide protests.

The two major opposition parties in the Solomon Islands struck a coalition deal on Saturday as they vie with Sogavare's party to form a government after an election delivered no clear winner. Last week's election was the first since Sogavare struck a security pact with China in 2022, inviting Chinese police into the Pacific Islands archipelago and drawing the nation closer to Beijing.
