I had heard about the site Bag Borrow or Steal, but had never taken the time to check it out. Ladies, this is the frugal fashionista’s paradise! You can “borrow” jewelry, purses and accessories for a week or more at a time. These aren’t just any old purses though- they’re DESIGNER purses, 100% verified. Take your pick- Prada, Gucci, Louis Vuitton- the choice is yours, but at a fraction of the cost. I think this idea is just genius! Trends go in and out so fast, so who really wants to spend $1000+ on a handbag when it’ll be out of style in a season. This way, you can change up your bags monthly or select special pieces for big occasions. Shipping is $9.95 per item and includes free return shipping. All items are “refurbished” and inspected before being sent to the next person. Reasonable wear and tear is acceptable. Oh, and let’s say you just happen to fall in love with the bag you borrow…. what then? Well, you can STEAL it and purchase it for good without ever having to return it. They’ll determine a fee based on age of the bag, etc. and then you can decide if you want it for good and just charge it to your card that’s on file. They’ve thought of everything! Other features I like include waitlists, memberships for frequent buyers, and a rewards system. It even shows a photo of the bag’s size in relation to a typical person. How innovative- this truly is a fabulous service. You can all thank me later!
