Rent a bag
Here is yet another idea I didn't think up!I was checking my e-mail and up popped this ad about the new Sex and the City movie. Along with it was an ad for Bag Borrow or Steal!
Get this, you can RENT a Kate Spade bag for $13 week! You can rent designer bags or jewelry and then return them, no late fees! Is that crazy?! It's absolutely ridiculous!
Why didn't I think of it?!
This is a fairly new company.
This is what it says on their About page:
They say it's lonely at the top, but at Bag Borrow or Steal we've got legions of loyal members—handbag and jewelry enthusiasts just like us—to keep us company! Nobody offers a broader selection of tip-top terrific merchandise, and no one stocks their closets with more delightful fresh discoveries.
It all started years ago when our co-founders started asking some honest questions: Why should women have to endure the emotional and financial sacrifices that accompany the endless search for the "right" accessory for every event, wedding, and dinner party? Why should celebrities, fashion editors, and socialites be the only ones allowed to borrow fashion accessories? Why not give everyone access to the perfect accoutrement for every occasion?
And so Bag Borrow or Steal burst onto the scene, and there was much rejoicing. We set out to do something different, building an online borrowing experience that provides just the right something for everyone.
So, if you're strapped for cash in today's recession but want to carry a Kate Spade to that special event, you can now rent it! Argh!!
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
Who is already sick and pale with grief,
That thou her maid art far more fair than she:
Be not her maid, since she is envious;
Her vestal livery is but sick and green
And none but fools do wear it... -Romeo and Juliet (Shakespeare)
I don't know if I'm going to do a business like this. I'm just so scared that those bags for rent will never gonna get back. If I have loads of designer bags, I guess I shall keep them instead.
