Dear Ladies:

I am interested in knowing whether you think there is a market for renting designer bags. I know there are a couple of websites that offer this, but if there were a store in your town that had a variety of authentic bags for rent, would you go there? What do you think are the pros and cons of such a potential retail location?

Thank you in advance

Interesting idea,but no I would not. I 'm super careful with my bags . Also I would not want to carry a bag a neighbor or friend had carried the week before. If this is a business you want to start be careful. People aren't always careful when something doesn't belong to them. You might want to take a quick picture before each rental and charge them for any damage if the bag comes back say with a wine stain or something. Good luck.

:nogood: dcooney4, brings up a great point. Since people are not always as careful as they should be, there is a big chance the designer (expensive) purse will get ruined. Therefore, the membership price and rental price will be high. I might as well save that money to eventually buy the designer purse I want.

If the purse got ruined, I assume the person would have to pay for the damage... I might do this, but only for special occasions and to rent a rare bag in a color or something I couldnt afford or wouldn't get much use out of.

You know, I would actually use this, but very rarely. I've often wished I could try out a bag style for a day or two to see if it worked for me -- especially if it is an expensive bag. Check out the weight, pocket placement, etc. I would never return a bag after carrying it, so this would be the only way I could do that. But like I said, it wouldn't be something I'd use often, so I wouldn't be much of a customer base.

No, simply because used things really ick me out. I mean, buying a slightly used, one-owner bag on ebay is one thing...but something that God-knows how many people have rented? Ew. I've seen the way some people treat their bags.

Me too. Only if there was a really specific bag I wanted for a special occassion that I wouldn't need otherwise.
