Bag Borrowing?

[fashnistabrooke]

I've been looking into borrowing bags from websites such as bagborrowsteal.com or frombagstoriches.com, where you pay a small fee to borrow a designer handbag for a certain amount of time. This seems like such a good idea for me since I can't really afford to buy all the latest it bags. But I want to know if anyone can give me some info on sites like these before I decide to spend money on it.

Has anyone borrowed from sites like these before?

Are they 100% authentic designer handbags?

Which website is the best?

Any info would really help. Thanks!

the whole concept seems like a way to flush money down the toilet... I would just save your money and buy something that you can appreciate years down the road.

Yeah, I'm starting to think that's the best way to go. The whole thing is so confusing and I'm not finding answers to anything I really want to know...so I think I'm going to start a "bag fund".

yeah... from what i've seen of these sorts of sites the bag borrowing thing isn't worth it and it would be much better to just buy a bag that you love...

it's kind of the same as leasing a car...
you get a new play thing every now and then but you get more value for your money when you buy

They are way overpriced for the nice bags...in a couple pf months, you could have a fendi to keep!

I think it just plays on the "I want it now!" mentality.

god, it's expensive. 60 $ a week, 80 $ a week... But maybe this is a good concept if you need a bag for let's say a prom or something...

Not worth the cost whatsoever.

To get any kind of decent bag on those sites, you have to pay quite a hefty price and if you just save that money, you could have your own, brand new bag in a fairly short amount of time. I think that it is just an "acceptable" scam.
