They are telling you the retail price of each bag, now either they have a very expensive place they buy from or they are totally scamming people, I have many of the Fendi bags on the site and I can tell you they dont cost anywhere near the retail price stated... for example a plain leather spy bag... Retail value of £2,200.00 according to them, well how come in Flannels and on net-a-porter this bag costs just £1,028.00... something fishy there, also its a complete con as you would pay for this bag as an example £250 a month... you could own this bag for around the same price if you purchased it on a credit card! This is a complete rip off... they have bags I own that have cost me £45 a month for 5 months for £90 a month... This is such a waste of your money to have to send a bag back! BEWARE... if you dont believe me check some online retailers of the same bags... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bag-borrow-or-steal#post-371 Fri, 25 Jan 2008 16:11:27 +0000 Lina 371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This reminds me a lot of Hong Kong's Milan Station, where you pay a deposit and fee to rent a designer bag for a certain period of time, then you return and get a percentage back. I'd be wary of doing this online, but perhaps that's due to the luxury we get of having everything in one small area. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bag-borrow-or-steal#post-311 Wed, 23 Jan 2008 20:01:31 +0000 pinkcobra 311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have to be a member to see exactly what each purse rents for...but they group the purses into different categories depending on the brand/prestige of the purse and they give the range of prices the purse will fall under. They offer insurance which covers you in case of accidents and normal wear and tear. When you first join you are allowed to "borrow" 3 items at a time and after the first 3 months, you're allowed 5. There is also a monthly membership fee involved (not very much though) that you have to pay whether you have something rented or not.</p> <p>This is great if you constantly want the newest styles and only want to keep the bag for a short time period. If you keep it too long, you might as well go out and buy it since you'll spend just as much or more "borrowing" it. They also have an option that lets you steal (buy) the item, where they'll assess what it's worth and then give you a price for it. What you've already paid gets credited towards it, so that's nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bag-borrow-or-steal#post-309 Wed, 23 Jan 2008 18:38:40 +0000 pmhenson 309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have not tried it but I've been tempted. It's just not clear what you get for what fee. Also what happens if I borrow a $2000 purse and got a stain on it? That's not clear to me from the website either. Maybe to borrow a $2000 purse it costs $500 a month? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bag-borrow-or-steal#post-307 Wed, 23 Jan 2008 16:22:40 +0000 Meredith 307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just found out about this online business that seems to be sort of a Netflix for high end purses. </p> <p><a href="http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/ui/welcome" rel="nofollow">http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/ui/welcome</a></p> <p>Apparently, you pay a monthly fee depending on what sorts of purses you'd like to borrow. (Anywhere from $15 to $2000 per month) You pick out a purse, they send it to you. When then send the second purse, you send the first one back. I think it is sort of an interesting concept. Has anyone tried it? </p>
