You can still get authentic designer products without them costing you an arm and a leg. The trick is not to buy directly. Try sites like Haute Look and Zappos. They have designer store at affordable prices.

Vuitton Man Bag - The Bag Snob: Reviews of Designer Handbags ...
Since I'm almost 30 (don't remind me), I've long learned to focus on craftsmanship over glitz when it comes to any bag I recommend--let alone one that I would carry myself. Admittedly, I am a Bag Snob when it comes to this (I've got standards to uphold, right?) so the moment this navy Taiga calf leather zippered tote came down the Louis Vuitton Spring 2010 runway on the hand of the handsome Gabriel Aubry (aka Mr. Halle Berry), I swooned like mad. I've always admired Vuitton's sober Taiga line (remember the classic burgundy and forest green hues?), so to see this practical shape cast in a crisp NAVY is sheer bliss. I normally hate zippers on the outside of bags, but the subtlety of these work for me. I also love the palladium over gold trim and the adorable padlock feature reminiscent of the women's "Lock-It bag. It's also got some nifty exterior features--including a leather side handle and soft handles--that hark back to Vuitton's luggage-making days. The vertical shape is also ideal for this Man Snob to haul his magazines and newspapers while on the go. All in all, this bit of eye candy is top on my list for spring and a great complement to the Vuitton Naxos leather doctor's bag I picked up a few seasons back. Yes, it's expensive. But oh-so-worth-it in my book. $2,330 (866.VUITTON or www.louisvuitton.com )
Marni Leather Shoulder Bag - The Bag Snob: Reviews of Designer ...
We can't get enough of Marni's latest bag collection! Kelly drooled over the bag above in suede but for me, the chocolate leather is most delicious. It has the nonchalant ease Marni is known for with just a touch of charm from the hardware. And see how the frame keeps the bag open when you need to dig around? Stylish and convenient to use-- just the thing I am looking for to take to Milan. I've had many friends who've had their bags ripped from their arms from kids on mopeds, which makes the body strap on this bag very functional for the streets of Italy plus what's more appropriate than toting a chic Marni bag while in Milan? Marni Leather Shoulder Bag here $1,220.
This new Marni boutique is encased by a minimalistic glass facade
inviting an unobstructed view onto the 800 square foot selling floor
and placing the Marni collection at center stage. The "lasso,"
inspiring the feature interior design element from which the
ready-to-wear is seemingly suspended in midair, encircles the boutique,
defining its perimeter and leading to a fibreglass shoe display.
Smooth, grey-painted curved walls have been given a randomly convex
and concave "bubble" relief pattern; backlit, they create shadows and a
playful graphic composition of textures while occasionally showcasing
accessories. Additional fiberglass display boxes house more of the
Marni accessories collection. Mannequins made of raw fibreglass in
addition to those with a new, opalescent, purple lacquer finish are
dressed in the Marni ready-to-wear suspended throughout the boutique's
interior.
Freestanding elliptical display tables in opalescent purple are
placed throughout on the clean background of a polished concrete floor.
PVC stools offer comfortable seating clusters on soft, grey wool area
rugs. Giant Barrisol® discs echo the store's "bubble" motif while
casting a soft diffused light from the ceiling.
Consuelo Castiglioni, working closely with the architecture firm
Sybarite, has created a simple yet elegant setting with new, unexpected
and captivating ways of presenting the Marni ready-to-wear and
accessories collections.
