"Become a Bag Borrow Or Steal™ member and carry original designer bags this season... and every season! Join and pay a monthly membership fee to borrow original handbbags from your favorite designers! So long as your membership is in good standing, carry your bag as long as you want, a week, a month, or a year! No late fees ever! Then return your bag and borrow the next one!"
$20-$150 a month membership fees, I think it's available only in the US. I'm not a handbag junky at all so I wouldn't be too interested. If I love a bag, I buy it and use it until it's worn out. I've been using the same two for 5 years now, a small and larger tote. When they are noticeably worn, I will replace.
But, the concept is interesting, especially for those who like a new, up to date bag constantly. The selection is huge, the over head must be enormous! I'm not affiliated in any way, just think it's neat.  |

| Hmmm, sounds kinda like leasing a car or something! I wonder if I could “borrow” the Prada handbag I’ve been lemming after for a couple of years? But I can’t bring myself to pay $1,500USD for a purse, so I’ve been considering buying one of the knockoffs for about $25USD...it’s not like I give a flying figleaf about the designer label – I just love the design of the bag!! And I’m like Lolli, if I like it I’ll buy it and then use it until the straps come off (which has frequently happened!!) or the lining comes loose! And I’m guessing to be a member of this club, you’d have to return your handbag in more or less the same shape that it was in when you got it....also, I wonder what would happen if you borrowed a bag and just decided to keep it (i.e.: not trade it in for a new bag next season)?? |

| If you want it, you can purchase it at a discount. Also, if it gets damaged while you are using it, you have to pay repair or replacement fees! You can request a bag they don't currently have if you are a member. A $1500 bag would probably cost you $150 a month. If I really wanted that bag, I would put it on my cc or save for it. I bet it would last 20 years! |

| Oh, I would love to see the Prada bag you like so much, Kate. Do you have a url for it? |

I love that bag too! I'm the same, understated, neutral colours so it will last a long time.
The inspired bags are great too! I will not buy something with a logo showing anyway. |
