I think Avelle is horrible! I had the worst experiences with them, both renting andthen buying from their outlet. What they consider "slightly used" is a joke. I wouldn't go out of the house in the bags!

I have heard both good stories and absolutely horrid stories about them. It's strange, like a luck of the draw sort of thing.

Re: Legit Retailers or Resellers
I like let-trade and hgbags (for Balenciaga). Fashionphile is okay, but their prices are high and I've heard stories about them making their bags look better than they actually are.

Re: Legit Retailers or Resellers
Anyone else for or against Avelle/ Bag, Borrow, Steal? Just curious. Your posts will help me get a more accurate picture of what they are like since I've had little experience with them. I do appreciate everyone who posted so far. I've found it helpful.

Re: Legit Retailers or Resellers
I've never purchased from Avelle, but just the fact that the bag is too-used to be continued to be rented out makes me stay away.
Although I would to see pics of someones bag, if they bought it from the outlet section

I was also imagining that they are trying to sell off bags that are not popular rentals (maybe cut their losses from a business perspective, out with the old and make room for the newer with more potential to be popular rentals). Of course, it could also be what you said too? I would love to see what their warehouse looks like  . Bags stacked like sardines  .

Re: Legit Retailers or Resellers
I wish Let-Trade would fix their site up to look more professional. That's a big reason why I had stayed away and thought they may not be legit.

Ya know, I agree with you. Something just rubs me the wrong way about them because of their site, even though I know they are good!

Re: Legit Retailers or Resellers
I took a look at eBay seller lauriefromla's feedback and I think she is legit. I would take a chance if there was something I wanted.
