It isn’t uncommon for teenage girls to want a designer purse – after all, name brands are everywhere: teen magazines such as Teen Vogue feature high-end designer clothes and accessories, and teen-friendly shows like Gossip Girl have their characters dressed to the nines.

But “expensive” has taken on a new meaning when it comes to purses. Many of these totes, handbags and satchels are out of reach for even an adult’s budget, let alone a teenager’s.

But there’s a plus: the May issue of Vogue featured an article stating that It Bags, coveted during the past few years, are on their way Out. Classics are In; and that means investing in one great bag instead of buying new bags every season.
