....... It's nice that they have added vintage to their categories. But I think that is a bit expensive for "borrowing" a bag. I mean, if you are lucky you can find an authentic vintage Chanel on ebay for only a $100 or $200 more.

Who would pay $1,632/week to borrow a bag? I would have to have a really special event scheduled to carry it to, lol.

Jennifer

^ yeah i know. or you could just use your credit card and make that huge payment every month and build your credit at the same time

does anyone actual use this site? I can't imagine renting a bag.

haha i know.. i saw the ad in a magazine and clipped it out but was disappointed that the prices were much more than i planned... i'd rather suffer for a few weeks without a hot bag and actually OWN it before i'd waste my money on renting one.... unless i was going to a really busy week of events and could show off my bag on numerous occasions... other than that, it's not worth it to me.

I dunno ...I browse their sale pages once in awhile and none of their prices look like steals.

Why would anyone want to borrow a bag, anyhow? I can see if you're going to a special event, but otherwise, do you know anyone who has paid those prices to rent a bag just to carry around for a month? Seems stupid to me ...most people don't even NOTICE what bag you're wearing.

Ugh! I've been dreaming about that Moschino since Jennifer posted it earlier this month!!! Is there a way I can get my hands on it?? I've checked ebay and there are none $700?! I would die if I found one at that price!
