Rent-A-Bag?

So there are several websites out there where you can rent designer bags for a fraction of their cost.

Now for the conscious fashionista, that's a fabulous idea. As we all know, trends come and go and bags will always have the same structure...but it can be a devastating blow to a poor girl's wallet. So, the smart ones out there decided to share with their fellow fashionistas and rent out their bags.

So the concept is they ship the bag to you along with a shipping label + bag and you get to choose how long to 'rent' the bag. It can be up to a month, three weeks or even less. With rental prices ranging from 100-300+ /month, they do give some food for thought. If you love the bag so much you can even purchase it - they will assess the wear and tear and mark it down.

Unfortunately for us Canadians, we don't have the luxury of renting online, there is only one website we have that ships to us (shouldercandy.com) but unfortunately, they do not have the vast selection as our American counterparts do. Oh well. Just a thought.
