Purse Pixie

Purse Blog – Saving the world one purse at a time

You guys know I love TJ Maxx and Marshalls holds a similarly special place in my heart. Though owned by the same company, I think the stores have different strengths-Marshalls has better clothes, TJ Maxx has better accessories.

While clothes shopping in Marshalls last weekend I did the obligatory walk through the purse section and was pleasantly surprised to see some really big names at huge discounts. I came across Kate Spade, Michael Kors, Matt & Nat, Hobo, Max & Cleo and several others. I went to Belk the next day and they were carrying Michael Kors bags that looked almost identical to one I had seen in Marshalls!

All this to say that there are great deals to be had and that you can be on a budget and still have a fabulous designer handbag!

Amazon.com is having another amazing sale on designer handbags. They are offering a discount of 35% off selected purses of $80 or more plus free shipping on most purchases. The sale includes Latico, Big Buddha, Hype, Melie Bianco, The SAK and other great names.

Several of the purses we have talked about are on sale: the Big Buddha Hibiscus Tote, the Latico Cris Cris Foldover Shoulder bag, the Big Buddha Mia Bag-all at a big discount.

So go pick out a great gift or something nice for yourself. Sale ends Thursday.

Though their designs are not really my bag (sorry, I had to) I wanted to let you know that Amazon.com is offering 35% off selected $80 or more orders of Steve Madden, Betsey Johnson, Steve by Steve Madden and Betseyville Handbags.

The sale is good today and tomorrow only with free shipping on most purchases. Check out the sale here.

I saw this purse on the British site The Bag Lady and I was instantly drawn to it. The cut outs give it a nice boho vibe but the metallic backing keeps it from looking too Woodstock. I think I also like it because the cut outs remind of the spirograph I had when I was young. Anyone else have a spirograph?

It is made of polyurethane, not leather, so it is machine washable but I wonder how good it looks in person. You can buy it from Miss Selfridge for about $40 including shipping and they have a very fair return policy. Someone let me know if you buy it because I’d love to get your opinion on the materials.

PLUS…

Amazon.com is having another great sale. 35% off orders of $80 or more on select Big Buddha, Puma, Calvin Klein and Melie Bianco purses. Offer good for today and tomorrow with most bags eligible for free shipping.

Now through Thursday, Amazon.com is offering 35% off select purses by Latico, Nine West, The Sak and Tommy Hilfiger when you spend $80 or more. There are some really great deals to be had! The offer  is 35% off the listed price and your discount will be applied when you go to check out. They are also offering free shipping. This Latico Eelskin clutch is normally $118 but is on sale for $76!

My new favorite, Radley London, is having a sale on select spring handbags. It’s not their best stuff (because why would you put your best stuff on sale?) but it does involve a few pretty adorable bags. I’ve got my eye on the Farringdon Large Multi-way Bag-regularly $130 on sale for $94.

I usually buy leather bags so nylon is a departure for me.  It seems like a pretty versatile bag but the question is, is it too sporty looking? Would it look okay with a sundress?

What do you think?
