"I think they meant it when they said you can't buy love. Now I know you can rent it A new lease you are my love, on life Be my life"
Featured in the Sex in the City movie, Carrie's personal assistant Louis (played by Jennifer hudson) dons an assortment of designer bags, the character rents the handbags from Bag Borrow or Steal. I decided to check the site out. Here's how it works; enjoy the designer accessory of your choice for a month a week or as long as you like for a small fee either weekely of monthly when you're done with it send it back.
While they have an awesome collection of handbags ranging in designers like BCBG to the most recent Chanel. I think the concept is great especially for girs like Louise on a budget. BUT, I am one hundred percent addicted to handbags and couldnt imagine having the caviar Chanel of my dreams and having to part with it. Also, what's considered the couture line of bags, the Louis Vuittons and Gucci's will run you about $350 a month. I've always thought why not put it on plastic and pay it off over time, yes, there will be interest a small amount depending on your card but atleast its an investment and you would have somehing to show for it after being paid.
Hermes Vintage Crocodile Kelly Handbag
One of the original "It" bags, this Hermès "Kelly" bag is named after its most famous wearer, actress Grace Kelly. This version is made of luxurious genuine crocodile skin, and its keys come inside a detachable bag.
Bag Borrow or Steal have added a new eliment to the site, renting jewelry. BINGO! I think this is the best idea yet! Celebrities rent jewelry for events constantly so consider this site your personal stylist who will deliver gems to your home. Rent Kenneth Jay Lane costume jewelry for as little as $8 a month or a Vintage Kenneth Jay Lane Bib necklace seen below for around $100 a month
Or if you have a special event coming up where you would like to make a big statement why not say it in diamonds?? Designers like David Yurman, Alex Woo, and Vera Wang will ensure you look your best
