Fossil is a good investment--they look like new for years. If you have an upscale outlet mall anywhere near you, Coach is great and there are several others. Go in and get on their mailing lists--you'll get notices of major sales on top of outlet prices. If you must have this year's bag as soon as it comes out, this isn't for you; otherwise, it's a great way to get high quality bags for cheap. The same malls will have shoe outlets.
