Rent-A-Bag The Latest New Style
I was surfing the net the other day, and came across an article that left me flabbergasted. As you all likely know by this time, I am definitely a designer handbag fanatic. There have been months where I have carefully considered bouncing my rent check to purchase a purse I simply couldn’t do without. Who am I kidding? I have rebounded my rent to purchase a new handbag! And I’d likely do it again.
Well, it appears that my dilemma has come to an end. I was surfing the net the other day, and came across an interesting article. It was about the burgeoning industry of designer handbag rentals! Now I have heard of luxury car rentals and even designer wedding dress rentals, but I never imagined a day when I could rent the latest Chanel purse. Can you picture yourself going into Blockbuster Handbags and renting the purse you have been saving your money for? I know I can!
There is a company called Bag Borrow or Steal that, as far as I can tell, is the first of a kind. They have a wonderful website, and a business model like no other. It is very similar to Netflix or something to that effect, but you rent handbags instead of the latest DVD. Somewhat similar to renting videos, you pay annual subscription fee and you are given access to a collection of beautiful handbags to use on a temporary basis.
The type of bag you are allowed to borrow is determined by your membership level. Memberships range from $19.95 to $174.95 every year. You can keep the bag for as long as you like, but it must stay in the condition you received it in. I’m wondering if they have an insurance plan.
After doing some research, I discovered another company that’s offering something similar. They are called From Bags to Riches, and their service are slight different from the company discussed above. Instead of charging a once a year membership fee, this company lets you rent on a regular or regular basis.
The price of the rental is set by the duration and type of bag you would like to hire. This site organizes their collections by brand name, and monthly rentals range between $$19.90 to $79.80. They also offer their customers the choice to purchase their rented purse, if they cannot bring themselves to return it. They know me so well, don’t they?
