....... 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.

^ 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

OMG I remember a couple years ago I passed on that Moschino Vintage Dripping Chocolate Bag on ebay - and get this - it went for ONLY like $700!!!!!!!!

I think it's cool that they added these vintage bags... their cute and all... but waaay tooo much $$$ just to BORROW....

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.

one good thing about this site though is they do sell some of the bags! i'm sure you could find some good steals!

never have and never will. not a very smart investment

That's what I was thinking!!!!

Anyone know how this works? Do they put what you paid so far towards the purchase? what if i just want to buy the bag... hehe .. i still want that Moschino Vintage Dripping Chocolate Bag!!!!!

<< one good thing about this site though is they do sell some of the bags! i'm sure you could find some good steals! >>

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!
