Have you, like me, ever coveted the multi-thousand dollar Kelly bag
Martha Stewart had at her trial or the cocktail ring you saw on Selma
Blair that goes for, oh, about the price of a new Mercedes? Thought
those luxury items were forever out of your reach?
Well, they're not, thanks to a new web site called Bag, Borrow or
Steal. Like Netflix for the fashion set, the site allows members
(membership is $5/month) to borrow up to five luxury items at a time.
You get billed for the duration of the time you're borrowing--either
weekly or monthly--and prices vary with each item. Some of the items
are expensive, even though you're renting them (think upwards of $200/
month for a couture bag). But when you think of buying the bag for
thousands, and that styles change constantly, it might be worth it.
This Marc Jacobs patchwork bag rents for $235/month.
Not into bags but love jewelry? Bag, Borrow or Steal has bling, too.
You can borrow this Stephen Dweek pave diamond and crystal ring for
$150/month.
The site is especially handy for brides. Check out this pearl
necklace, which you can have for $60/month:
Might be worth a shot!
