Is it illegal to purchase fake designer handbags from street sellers in Spain?

It's illegal but it's also very improbable that you will get fined for doing it. However, it's also illegal to get those items into other countries like Holland, Italy, US, UK etc... if you get caught there, you WILL get fined.
This is the link for Spain, I couldn't find it in English but you can use Google translate: http://www.policia.es/org_central/judicial/udev/bcde_prop_intelec_indust.html. It is the site for the Police and they have a special section of their police force to prosecute crimes related to product falsification (industrial and intellectual property crimes).

In general, yes.
There's also an implicit question as to whether that is enforced and what the penalty is, and here is where it gets complicated. This activity is regulated at the local level, so the fines and the enforcement vary from town to town.
For example, a quick Google search turns up news reports from July 2018 when the town of Peñíscola ran a campaign targetting this activity and fined about 100 purchasers in 2 months between 50€ and 1500€ each.
