Walking into La La Handbags is, if you have a passion for purses, is like skipping into a candy store. The space is filled wall to wall and floor to ceiling with different styles of bags, most in the $30-45 price range. (All sales are final.) The store also stocks a variety of knockoff versions of higher-end bags like Coach, Burberry, Fendi and Orla Kiely. There are a few accessory displays scattered throughout the store, and a small selection of luggage, but the place is mostly handbags and wallets. The clientele When we stopped in over the lunch hour, the shoppers were mostly middle-aged ladies, but the 260-plus people who like the store on Facebook (Lala bags) show it has a strong following among the younger crowd, too. The bags If you're looking for a classic leather purse, this might not be the place for you. But if you're the kind of woman who likes a handbag to coordinate with every outfit, or at least a big selection to rotate though, this is the spot to stock up and nab trendy pieces. "We have a lot of the animal print right now, patent leather is big, and we have a lot with cross and crown embellishment," said employee Jessi Russell, 21. "We get a shipment once a week, usually on Thursdays or Friday, so new bags are out by the weekend." The store carries Miche bags, which are basically a structured purse with magnetic sides. Instead of transferring your stuff from one bag to the next, you just swap out different magnetic shells that change the look of the bag to fit the occasion. (One Miche bag and purse cover is $55.99, and one bag with three purse covers is $85.99.)
