I was recently invited to rent a designer bag from The Borrowers Club. I've long dreamed about owning my very own Chanel Jumbo 2.55 bag and this was the perfect way to test the bag without spending the £2,500 required to own my very own.
The process is very simple. You order your bag online at The Borrowers Club and select which day you would like to commence your 5 day rental on. The bag then arrives by Special Delivery and on the 5th day, you post it back with the pre-paid Special Delivery bag included.
I highly recommend this for anyone who has a special occasion where you require a more glamorous bag than usual (perfect for weddings or special events!), or for someone like me, who doesn't particularly want to spend thousands on a bag to discover it doesn't fit in with my lifestyle!
Carrying the Chanel Jumbo 2.55 was amazing and it really did lift every outfit, but I was nervous carrying it, and even hid it in another large carrier bag when we went to Meat Liquor last week for fear of the bag taking on the pungent smell of the restaurant! I also don't think I would ever use this bag in an 'everyday' sense so the cost-per-wear just wouldn't be there. Although in saying that, this style is a true classic and the price seems to increase every season, so it's definitely an 'investment' piece.
You can see all designer bags available for rent here including Mulberry, Chanel, Miu Miu, Chloe, and Louis Vuitton. What is your dream bag? NHG x

So chic! x
ReplyDeleteI panic enough if I borrow something from a friend not sure I could cope with the responsibility! I treasure my own Chanel bag and have done the same as you hiding it in a carrier bag when I got caught in the rain ha ha!
ReplyDeleteI have carried my Mulberry around in a plastic supermarket bag before to protect it from rain - it's a great look! ;)
DeleteIt suits you! I really loved this service, thought it worked really well and the ready paid postage was v handy. xx

It so, so beautiful! I have saved for a couple of designer bags but I know what you mean about the cost-per-wear issue - I'm so scared of damaging them or having them stolen that I only use them for special occasions! That said, I feel a million dollars when I do wear them :)

Lovely! You look so stylish and fresh with your hair in a high pony - the bag is the perfect finishing touch. I was the queen of protecting my bag from the rain in a worn out lime green M&S carrier bag - felt like a step up from a Tesco one!! I must have made many a good first impression. Bag lady chic. X
ReplyDeleteThis is an amazing idea for a special occasion, love the Chanel!
