Afraid of being scammed by online websites that claim they have authentic goods? Try www.hautelook.com, the inexpensive way to shop for expensive must-haves.

The website, which has free registration (simply filling your basic information and email), lets users purchase high-end fashion items from clothing to handbags, almost 75% off the original retail price.

Some listings as of now include an authentic Prada handbag for $1700 marked down from $2150, a Bon Anniversaire Gucci handbag for $3000 marked down from $7000 and several Jalda Satin clutches all under $150.

Videos for the brands include backstage fashion show footage, designer interviews and snapshots of upcoming collections.

Arti Hello World, I am a second-year journalism student in Toronto. I love investigating western and foreign culture and finding out the endless possibilities with living and fashion. People say it's my blood to be cheap, but I use it as a tool to be a smart-shopper.
