There is a service which you can pay for the rental fee every month, then you can rent the famous branded handbags every month. You know some handbags are quite expensive. And compare to it, the rental fee is less expensive. Will you consider it?
I won't and I don't care about famous branded handbags. Even if I have a LV handbag, others may think it's a fake![](/Content/images/emotes/lol.gif)

Hi Youless....Oh I do not care much for walking around with matching and expensive handbags every day.......For me a hand bag is useful to carry my much needed stuff with me where ever I go.Usually my hand bag is the last thing I take when going out,and it will be a real bother,to keep changing bags all the time,and transfering my belongings from one to the other.So i prefer to use one inexpensive hand bag,and use it till it wears out and then I go for a new one......I dont like to carry around those fancy bags which reek of luxury.....![](/Content/images/emotes/happy.gif)

Hello,
Nah , I would not do that at all
I feel it would be a waste since I prob woulld not use it all that much . I usually just use my new york mets tote, or denim purse . When i need to be dressy i will use the one black purse i got somewhere .
People will do anything so i am sure this just might work . There was a time i liked purses and bought a few every couple of months, but i just bought what i liked .
take care

If this discussion was on April 1st I'd think it was a fool's joke my friend, sorry but I found this highly amusing, that they rent handbags out! I know you can rent cars and rent rooms and rent dresses, but never handbags! Mind you Wolfie wouldn't suit a handbag would he, I'll leave that for my lady friends. Wouldn't having an expensive handbag be a target for thieves? That is what I'd worry about personally!

I don't have eagerness in branded products too. I mean not I am looking at the brand alone. But I do prefer to have something cool because of its quality and functionality. For example, I love to have a branded camera, because of its advanced feature and excellent picture quality, however, I won't be crazy for a branded purse, which is only outstanding in its price. What you said is right, even if I wear a Rolex watch, people might think that it's fake one
. Therefore, unless I have abundant of money to buy the luxurious bag, I will just buy the ordinary and practical one.

I feel the same too
I just found out that I forgot to mention about my opinion wether I will rent the branded products or not. Well, as what you said, I won't bother to rent it. But there is some exceptions, let say, if I am going for a trip, I might consider rent a better car. Because it's important to drive a car which is safe for a long trip.

No I don't think rent a branded handbag in my life. I think if I have the money I might consider buying one instead of renting one. I think it's still a waste of money to rent a handbag. I don't use expensive handbag and I feel good using mine.

No that is a celeb kind of lifestyle which am unfrtunately very far away from. My finances would not allow and secondly, the whole idea of renting a branded handbag wouldnt excite if I were a woman.

Even if the rental fee is inexpensive, I don't want to rent out those famous designer handbags. I am not really attracted to the brands but I go for cheap and quality handbags. I like handbags with many compartments and not all handbags are like that.

[i]Hi youless,
I will never waste my money to that. I am not a purse person...I used to buy a lot before with different colors but not branded, aside from the fact that I cannot afford the branded one, I work hard for my money and I have different priorities! LOL![/i]![](/Content/images/emotes/happy.gif)

I have heard of that service, but I don't think that it would be something I would do.

I don't particularly care for name brand items, they are just more pricey than a lot of the good quality items.. I have a few great purses and I bought them because I liked them not because of any name.. If you watch the news, when you see a movie star with a certain handbag, next thing you know, everyone wants one of those.. I love JC Penney's handbags, they have a huge selection of some of the most gorgeous bags that I have ever seen.. No, I wouldn't rent a handbag..

I don't think it's practical to rent a very famous bag which can cost me huge amount of money. I'm not really particular with bag designsor colors or what brand it has, as long as I can place all my important documents inside, or can be carried wherever I go.

No i would nt consider renting one every mobnth . I guess ill just invest in a really good timeless piece of bag . Cause if they are really a god bag it would last ou a lifetime

LOL I would think about this service when I need a handbag. But since I am a man I will doubt whether I will make use of this service or not.

I am not really fond of handbags... so i don't care if they are branded or not... as long as they are presentable and can carry all my things... then i am content with that... so i would never consider renting a branded bag... no matter how inexpensive it is... still a waste of money for me...

Never will I go for renting handbags and become a hypcorite by showing it off. I would rather prefer to show that I am a middle class person and use brands which i can easily afford. So this showing business is no-no for me. Thanks.

Me either. I won't. Even if it's rental fee, it's still expensive and i don't think i can afford it. I don't need luxurious handbags.

A business that rents branded handbags...I don't know whether that is insane or brilliant. Perhaps a bit of both.
For myself, I don't see what all the fuss is about with branded handbags (or any kind of branded clothing for that matter). Why pay all that money just for a label that tells the world where I shop? If that's how people are going to judge me then those people are not really my friends, are they?
I especially dislike the Louis Vuitton pattern with LV all over it. If I'm going to have someone's initials on my handbag, I would rather they be my own.
That being said, I do know many women who go goofy over handbags, and are always looking for the newest, the trendiest and the hottest bag. The most coveted I have seen is the Hermes Birkin bag. Would you believe there is a 2-year waiting list to get one of those bags?
If you are a high-profile business person that constantly needs to impress others, or if your social circle consists of fashionistas then I can perhaps understand the "need" to have an impressive handbag. If you just need the bag for a special occasion then I think it makes sense to rent rather than purchase. But for day to day use, a designer handbag--rented or purchased--just does not make sense for me.

Why rent a label bag when you can just save up to buy the real thing? It never mattered much to me, I'm just fine with a fake. There are so many fakes out there these days that most people don't know the difference anyway.
