More details to this question:
I have taken up this new hobby of painting handbags. It has gotten alot of buzz and people have requested for me to sell these handbags BUT I do not want to fall into any legal trouble for selling a name brand. If I purchase a handbag at full price, paint and design it then sell it...is it wrong? Will it make a difference if the bag isn't branded/designer?

Assuming that you bought the product without any contractual restriction on reselling it, which is almost certainly the case, and do not imply in any way that you are affiliated with the handbag trademark owner, you can resell the handbags without vioilating the trademark.
