Bag, borrow, steal!
Bag4aday
The capital’s fashionable elite need to make capital style statements. But the trouble with haute bags is that the impact is short lived. After the first time’s ‘oohs’ and ‘aahs’, the excitement fizzles out and your favourite carrier is shoved into the dark depths of your cupboard. But now, we have a rental service coming to your rescue! The top designer creations from the latest seasons can be borrowed, carried to the ‘It’ party or event, and then returned – all for a fraction of their actual prices. And then you move on to the next one. If only men were that simple!
