AT stores like TJ Maxx, Marshalls, and Nordstrom Rack, you can find designer items at a fraction of the retail price.

And as one blogger revealed, if you know where to look, you can find incredible deals – especially if you go to the "richest" stores in the country.

YouTube star Laura Lee set out to make a video about the world's richest Marshalls in Beverly Hills. The stores in the area carry an even higher number of designer items than other locations.

But when the selection at Marshalls fell short, she headed across the street to Nordstrom Rack, where she found top-shelf designer bags within moments of walking in the door.

"I know Nordstrom is notorious for designer things, but first up, we have some good stuff," Lee said, showcasing a display of sunglasses.

Then, she turned to the accessories section, where racks were stuffed full of expensive purses.

"They have a lot of Valentino bags just out in the open," Lee said, showing the displays laden with dozens of bags.

She zoomed in on the price tags, which showed 50 percent savings and higher on brands like Valentino, Coach, and Moschino.

One Valentino bag, normally $1,095, had its price reduced to $539.99.

The Coach bags each had hundreds of dollars slashed off the price tags as well, and Lee found discounts of around 15 percent on the Moschino bags.

Though there were plenty of bags out on the sales floor, even more luxury goods were locked away in glass cases.

Lee asked to see a white Versace purse, priced at $999, which could function as a purse or a crossbody strap.

The original price was $1,125 – not a breathtaking deal, but still a discount on a quality bag.

"We found the designer shoes," Lee said as she pushed her cart down the footwear aisle. After tossing a pair of bright orange heels into her basket, Lee headed to the checkout.

At home, Lee showed off her purchases. The shoes she bought, from the brand Black Suede Studio, were originally $268.

Lee bought them for $119. "They were not cheap," she admitted, but the blogger considered the heels a good investment.

"Very my style, and the heel on them is low, so these are going to be pretty comfortable," she said.

She also modeled a pair of Tod's sunglasses, usually $250, which she bought for $100. The woman at the sales counter even threw in a free Burberry sunglasses case to keep them safe.

Moving on, Lee prepared to reveal her priciest purchase.

"Alright, designer bag," she said. She unveiled a white Versace dust bag: she had purchased the convertible clutch for $999.

"It comes with a strap that makes it a cross-body," Lee said, eagerly opening the dustbag.

When she pulled out the purse, her face fell: the crossbody strap was gone.

"I feel like I just wasted a thousand dollars," she cried, searching in the bag for the strap. Lee explained that she didn't intend to carry the bag as a clutch – without a strap, it was worthless to her.

But despite her moment of panic, Lee persevered and called the Nordstrom Rack location she'd visited.

They were able to retrieve the missing strap from the sales counter and get it to her later on, she explained in a comment, so Lee was able to show off her designer purchase in style.
