Shopping for the perfect handbag that suits both your personality and functional needs can be a challenge. Most stores have only a limited selection of handbags and just a handful of brands.
Thankfully, online handbag shopping allows you to save time and energy. The best online handbag stores offer a large, well organized selection with several choices that meet your needs. Generous return policies and low shipping costs make online handbag shopping a smart idea.

Whether you're always carrying the latest trends in handbags from the top designer, or only change purses every few years, online handbag shopping provides something that traditional stores do not.
When shopping online you're instantly able to compare and contrast different handbags prices, looks, functionality, colors, and dimensions from the luxury of your home, 24 hours a day and 7 days a
week. Many online stores provide discounts and sales that the traditional mall store will not. Some stores even provide attractive knock-offs or the ability to rent a purse - options that are rarely at your neighborhood strip mall.
However, not all online handbag stores are the same. Before moving forward, it's important to shop from a store that provides:
• Wide Selection. Some stores offer thousands of items, while others offer just a few or from a limited number of designers. You'll want to shop at a store with a large enough selection that you can find what you're looking for?
• Competitive Pricing. Is the product cost reasonable? How does the price compare to competitors?
• Return Policy. If the handbag is too big, the wrong color or simply not your style, once it arrives at your doorstep, will you be able to return it without hassle for your full money back?
TopConsumerReviews.com has reviewed and ranked several handbag stores online today. We hope you find these reviews helpful in your next handbag purchase!

BagHaus has a great selection of handbags to meet the needs and wants of those concerned with the latest fashion trends. BagHaus provides a good array of styles, colors, sizes and shapes that would appeal to all generations.
Many of the featured handbags are in an acceptable price range. If your favorite designer isn't featured, there is a "stupid deal" of the week, which provides a trendy handbag at a great price.
BagHaus is easy to navigate and has a unique selection of search functions. You may choose by brand, size, style, color, price but also "Celebrity Style" and "Popular Trends". The site provides a number of pictures of your favorite celebrity and the handbags they've recently worn, then provides lower priced versions that allow you to reproduce
the same look.
We thought this was a really nice feature for those interested in fashion trends.
BagHaus offers a reasonable return policy. If for some reason you are dissatisfied with your new handbag, BagHaus offers a 30-day satisfaction guarantee, if damaged or unused.
Overall, BagHaus is worth reviewing before making your next handbag purchase. With a nice selection and fair return policy - you can't go wrong.

One of the best benefits of shopping Bagsbuy is the free shipping on all products! Also, the site provides an extensive selection with a lot of opportunities to find the perfect handbag.
At first, it is a little overwhelming when navigating the site because it is so big, but once you choose a category it becomes very simple and quite enjoyable. Also, there is a search option by 20 different categories. In addition to category by description of handbags, you may search handbags by price. There is a price category as low as $35 and under and as
high
as $1000 and over. A price range of $35.00 and under is rare on these types of websites and probably one of the best features for those watching their budget. This would be a great site to find a reasonable priced clutch to match and outfit you may only wear once.
Bagsbuy offers free returns and exchanges within 60 days of purchase. Also, if you find the same handbag for cheaper on another site, Bagsbuy refunds you 100% of the price difference.
We liked the return policy, free shipping and price match that Bagsbuy offers. This is a very customer friendly site with a huge selection of low priced handbags.

The concept of renting handbags is new but ingenious for some. Are you dying to have the next season's Kate Spade clutch? Then Avelle Bag Borrow or Steal may be perfect for you.
As a member of this site you can rent the trendiest and most fashionable handbags of the season, every season without breaking the bank. Also, this site is easy to navigate and just browse if you don't know exactly what you want. It shows the most popular handbags of the season, which is very helpful for those that don't have the time to keep up on the latest trends.
Renting a handbag from Avelle allows some flexibility. You choose the length of time you'd like to use the handbag and easily extend that time period as needed. Avelle does not charge late fees.
For a
year-long membership fee of $59.95, you can rent handbags as frequently as you like for twenty percent less than non-members. This is a wonderful deal for those who love to have the most recent designer handbags, wallets, and sunglasses.
This site also offers used handbag purchases at a fraction of the price of new. If you are ok with a slightly used version, this is a great way to own the latest designer handbag at a more affordable price. Overall, we liked the rental concept but understand that will not appeal to everyone.

Poshmoda sells high end designer handbags and attempts to provide favorable pricing on some of their options. The site is fairly well organized if you are familiar with designers and their styles. However, the only organization to the website is through designers.
Selection is limited on handbags priced $100 and under.
But the trade off could be worth it, as the collection of designer handbags is extensive. Overall, the wallets start at just under $100.00 and the handbags soar upwards of $200 and beyond.
If you are looking for something simple at a reasonable price this site is not for you. However, if designer handbags are your forte and you're in search of the perfect Luis Vuitton or Chanel handbag, you are in luck. There is a large selection from each designer. Many of the handbags are in Vogue and very posh.
Items may be returned within 14 days of purchase. If the return is quality related and indeed there is a problem with the quality, the company will pay for shipping and exchange the product. In the event of an exchange an RMA form will need to be filled out and signed as proof.
This site definitely caters to a select crowd of shoppers looking for the designer name. If this describes you, Poshmoda is worth checking out.

Luggage Pros is a leader in luggage websites with excellent customer service and pricing. Luggage Pros also dabbles in handbags with a nice selection, at fair prices and a well functioning website - we generally liked what we saw.
The handbag section is easy to find on Luggage Pros' website. You may quickly sort by a long list of designers, price range or type. The handbags provided
are an overall attractive selection with great prices and pictures that actually allow you to see the details of the product. Many of the handbags come in multiple colors which will meet the needs of those looking coordinate with a particular or for a specific occasion.
Luggage.com features many designers such as Dooney and Bourke, and Sally Spicer, offering their more reasonable designs. Unlike many designer sites, this one gives a range of the designer's price range. The pricing at Luggage Pros is fair with
a nice selection in the under $50 category which many shoppers would appreciate. This category includes many items that have been marked down due to great sales.
The return policy allows for a full refund if you are dissatisfied with the product you may return it free of charge if it is within 30-days of the receipt of shipment.
Considering this is a site initially designed for traveling materials, the handbag selection is quite good and certainly more reasonable than many. This is a good site for people of
almost all ages to find handbags varying from the most basic to bright, trendy ones.

eDesigner Shop sells only designer handbags by a few different labels. However, the selection within each designer is larger.
Although the handbags are very expensive, they have been marked down considerably from the original price. Most of the handbags on this site start at prices upwards of $1,000 but are marked down well by hundreds of dollars. One Gucci handbag
retails at $1,360 but was on sale at eDesigner Shop for $399.99. Although this is still a significant investment it is less than a quarter of the original price.
Similar to designer selection, the return policy was short and provides little turn around time. eDesigner Shop only gives buyers a guarantee within 10 days of purchase. A full refund exists but the item must be new and unused.
Overall, we thought eDesigner Shop provided only a few good options and wouldn't meet the needs of most. The selection and return policy were both limited and not customer friendly.

Moda Queen provides a limited but nice selection of handbags. However, we felt this site may disappoint some. When you initially enter Moda Queen you see a long list of designer brands but if you look a little closer you'll see they don't actually have that much inventory under many of those brands. Some specific designers may only offer 1 pair of sunglasses, or a key chain -
not an extensive selection of handbags.
The site is organized by designer, by category, by price, and by best sellers. The site is easy to navigate and very helpful if you simply want to find a very trendy handbag.
Another downside to Moda Queen are the prices. Most of the handbags are expensive, you're paying for designer quality. IN fact, almost all of the
handbags are by well-known designers, but there are cheaper options. One Prada handbag featured was on sale for $75.00! Some of these deals are very hard to come by.
Moda Queen offers an ok return policy of 14-day money back guarantee minus a 10% restocking fee. Any product may also be exchanged if unused with a $15 fee, which is based on the weight of the item.
For a few, Moda Queen will provide a great person but many will need to shop at a higher ranked site to find what they are looking for.

World Traveler provides a wide range of handbags including luggage, backpacks, laptop carries, handbags and more. But, the site is generally busy and difficult to browse with small font and little product pictures. The return policy and other important information was difficult to find - we had to call for clarification.
Once you begin browsing World Traveler, the first thing you'll notice is limited search functions within the handbag selection of this website. World Traveler allows you to sort by price - high to low or low to high. You may also notice an option to sort by brand but it's so small that most will miss it. If you prefer to shop by color, size or style than you'll need to shop else
where. The selection is just under 200 products and the designers are generally unheard of to most of us. However, World Traveler may cater to those with no specific brand in mind, with patience to look through a long list of handbags and with a lower budget in mind.
Shipping is free if you spend over $100.00 and World Traveler does provide a free return policy up to 30 days from purchase. We felt this was a very fair return policy compared to others. Outside of the nice return policy we couldn't find any other reason to recommend the average handbag shopper to spend time shopping at World Traveler.

Luggage is definitely focused more on luggage than handbags. Navigating the website was frustrating as we just happened to run across the handbag selection as we were about to give up. While the assortment of handbags is greater than 2,000 different items, we had some concerns with the lack of up-to-date styles.
Once you locate the Handbag drop down on the Shop by Item portion you may further define the selection by category, designer, color, style, price range, fabric and more. If you look closely you'll see that a long list of designers are listed but don't be deceived - they only offer products from a portion of those designers. We felt the selection and design options, were limited across
the board - perhaps appealing to a limited population that prefers basic, lower priced pursues, and are less concerned with fashion.
The prices at this site are very reasonable and seem true to their value. The return policy at Luggage is a no hassle 30-day refund or exchange. Overall, we feel this site is better suited to finding traveling gear.
