It’s no secret that Avelle, the new Bag Borrow or Steal has a largest inventory of designer goods available for rent via the Internet. Their collection is awesome, and their stuff for sale is too. So the items up for grabs are semi-used, depending on the stated description, but most of these goods have prices that are fairly reasonable for their condition. I was browsing along their sale selection and I ran across this Giant Hardware Hobo bag by Balenciaga. Noir leather and the chunky silver giant hardware collaborate and create this stunning everyday bag. Personally, I haven’t tried the hobo style out myself, but I suppose it would make a great shoulder piece, definitely something I would love to add to my collection. I love my city, but even the crook of my arm won’t mind a rest with a more comfortable shoulder bag, as this appears to be. This distressed hobo sports 15” x 4” x 10” dimensions and carries a 40% off the price tag of a new Bal hobo. Described as Gently Carried, you can find this lovely for $1,075 over at Avelle’s Sale section.
Has anyone ever purchased from their sale section? I wonder what the maintenance is like. "Gently carried" but too worn to rent out Love the price though!!
The Giant Hobo is one of my favorite styles but $1,075 seems a tad high for a used one. Its so easy to carry, slouches nicely. I bought one from Nordstrom, new of course, awhile back for under $900 including shipping during their sale. I'm sure some major stores are having a sale on these which generally don't sell as well as the moto collection. I've considered BBS for other bags but don't they charge to sign up? Since I'm not a renter, its additional to the cost of a bag if I want to just buy one.

I don't think they are too worn to rent out, I think they get rid of the ones they are renting less to make space for new styles – that would make sense to me, because they also have some stuff that has never been worn.
