The devil borrows Prada
Wednesday, 8 November 2006Woman all over the world loves a handbag. Better still, if they can fill their closets with a huge variety of designer branded bags that they can pick and choose for any occasions.
But living this dream would probably mean most of us might have to live on bread and water for a long time. Simply because branded bags don’t come cheap.
However, women these days can have it much easier. They can join one of the online based lease-a-luxury-bag programs and borrow from a broad selection of original designer and contemporary handbags for as long as they want. They can even buy up the bag if they like it.
All they have to do is to pay a monthly subscription fee or a price per collection and instead of busting their piggy banks to buy just a single designer bag, they can now can rent a year’s worth, all delivered to their doorsteps. How cool is that?
Thanks to lovely companies like Bag Borrow or Steal and From Bags to Riches in the US, Shoulder Candy in Canada, as well as Be A Fashionista for UK and Singapore, women can get to carry the “must-have” handbags and not burn a big hole in their pockets. Bag, Borrow or Steal is in fact the first company to moot this idea in 2004 and is doing so well that it has also started to offer high-end jewelry and watches.
So. How about bagging that new classic Hermes Black 30 Birkin for today’s offsite meeting, that stylish white Balenciaga Bouling Bag for tomorrow’s a la carte dinner and that cute Juicy Couture Fiesta Pink Demi Bag for the coming all girls night out?
