First off, let’s get one thing straight: “cheapest” is relative. You ain’t gonna find a brand new, authentic MK bag for, like, five bucks. Unless you’re hitting up some seriously questionable back alley deal, and honestly, I wouldn’t advise that. Stick to legit places.
The whole “luxury brands cheaper in the USA?” thing? Yeah, kinda. It’s mostly about exchange rates and import duties and all that boring stuff. But basically, if you’re *already* in the US, you’re generally gonna pay less than someone buying the same bag overseas. Makes sense, right?
Now, where to actually *find* these bags? The official Michael Kors website is a decent starting point. They always have sales going on, and you can usually find some good deals, especially on older styles. Plus, you know it’s the real deal. You can’t go wrong if it’s directly on Michael Kors’ site.
Then you got your department stores – Macy’s, Nordstrom, even places like TJ Maxx and Marshalls can sometimes have them. But those are a gamble. You gotta be willing to dig, and you might not find *exactly* what you’re looking for. But hey, sometimes you stumble upon a total gem! I once found a gorgeous satchel at TJ Maxx for like, half the price. Felt like I won the lottery, tbh.
And then there’s the whole “wholesale pallets” situation. I’m a little sus about that one. Sounds kinda risky, right? Like, are these bags legit? Are they damaged? Are you gonna get stuck with a whole bunch of bags you don’t even want? Proceed with caution on that front, folks. Do your research!
