As part of joining Bag Borrow or Steal as an affiliate, I looked over their site before deciding whether to place an ad for them on my blog. They interested me enough to not just put up an ad, but to write a post.
Bag Borrow or Steal has been around for awhile as a place to rent handbags at weekly or monthly prices. What I was not aware of was their outlet store. The outlet sells some of those bags “gently used” at 25-70 percent off of the retail price. Considering that bags on eBay, even used ones, will sometimes go for more than retail, and knowing that finding a truly good deal at the premium outlet mall is hit or miss, I looked through their selection.
Assuming that these bags are in good shape, there are some nice deals. For example, when I looked, the pink DaVon clutch pictured, with detachable handles, was listed at $79.90
A couple of others that caught my eye when I took at look:
Francesca Biasia Large Woven tote for $ 174.90
The company also has jewelry. They obviously are the place to look for renting a handbag, but they can be worth a look for purchases as well.
Through April 20, they are also running 15% off on the first borrow with coupon code ASP151B or free shipping on the first borrow with coupon code ASPFS1B.
BagBorrowSteal sucks. I paid the membership fee and then chose 1 item. Somehow, I was charged 3 x as much for the item..then afterwards my membership was denied and my money was not returned. I played phone tag with the same air-head day after day. All they had to do was call/fax my bank to release my funds that they stole from me. I tell you this…they certainly have the correct name for theives. BegBorroworSteal likes to “Steal!”
I also joined, and I loved my bag. I paid 20 dollars to carry a fabulous bag for a month and loved every minute of it. my bag arrived brand new in immaculate condtion all tags still attached. This bag retails for over 600 dollars. I rented it for 40 dollars and used my SAVE20 discount. i’m not sure what happened with your funds or your order. i must admit the website is tricky to navigate so you have to be very careul when submitting an order(which is what probably happened in your case). I would reccommend borrowing a bag to any bag lover. I am in the process of ordering my second bag to tote for the holidays!!!
