Buying Designer Clothes for Less

This section may be more useful for ladies, but men can pay attention too. How do you buy original top labels from Chanel, Gucci, Prada, and Louis Vuitton, to name a few?

Dress Agencies

There are a number of excellent dress agencies that buy, sell, and exchange designer clothing. Most of the clothing has hardly been worn, and offers excellent value for the money.
