Bag, Borrow & Steal...

I remember hearing about this web site some time ago, but then Giovanna W. emailed me about it and I finally checked it out! Bag, Borrow & Steal is very interesting; the basic concept is this… You can either rent, i.e. ‘borrow’ a bag for as long as you want provided you’re a member on a monthly payment plan (think Netflixs!) There are different levels of membership, which entitle you to different levels of bags. The Couture and Diva line are their most expensive, followed by the Princess and Trendsetter line. For example, the Gold Gucci Evening bag belongs to the Couture range and will set you back $60 per week or you could go with their monthly rate at $175. If that’s sounding a little ludicrous, you could opt for the more affordable Yellow Lulu Guinness Small Rita bag at $13 per week ($40 per month.) So now you ask, why not just buy the bag? Well let’s face it, not all of us can afford a Balenciaga or Louis Vuitton designer bag, but that doesn’t mean we’re not worth it! If you’ve longed to walk around with a Hermes Birkin, but your salary restricts you to the cheaper Korean knock-offs, I guess this site allows you to live your dreams for at least one week! If you’re still not convinced, you can join the site for free in order to be eligible to buy, i.e. ‘steal,’ used bags at bargain prices from their Outlet! Up to 70% can be taken off the original price (I’m waiting for this Grey Chloe Paddington New Satchel to go on sale!) Free membership allows you to ‘save bags to your own Wish List and stay on top of the latest designer news with Bag Borrow or Steal emails.’ Visit www.bagborroworsteal.com to get started and tell me what you think of the whole concept!

Note: The site also carries Jewelry!
