In case you have not noticed, designer handbags have made headlines recently due to rising costs, increased demand and rabid enthusiasm about the latest "it" bags. As a self-professed designer handbag connoisseur, I am constantly on the look out for the latest handbag trends. There is a trend that irks me more than a series of fake Goyard and Chanel handbags on display at 5th Avenue - Lease torbu.Media was hyped with coercing people to join the handbag rental service to carry a designer bag to replace actually buying one. While the rent can be a smart alternative in many situations (car rentals, rental apartments, rental cabana, etc.), rent a purse is not exactly the best investment.
As with living accommodations, financial advisers often say buy it for a sound investment because your money is going toward something that may one day give up their values, and even make you money. Rent or makes you more or give you something to sell, so why would anyone "rent" expensive bag? A lot of people like the idea of renting their favorite handbags because it reduces the high costs associated with purchasing one, or they like the idea of wearing a new bag every month . But would not you rather put hundreds of dollars it cost to rent a bag (rent, membership fees and shipping) towards saving for a new purse their dreams, but do not put a lot of money (at least $ 200/month) to something you do not own? Personally, I like to look around for the best deal and use my money Add to My growing fashion collection. And for fashionistas who want to carry a new bag every week or month to maintain the status of their friends and associates will know that you do not actually "own" bags you carry, you are just throwing money away.
In addition to throwing money collapse, people who rent designer luxury to take the risk of ultimately paying for the item being borrowed up retail costs. For example, if you rent a luxury item is lost or stolen (which happens often), the lessee must pay the replacement cost that might be thousands of dollars. I do not even get me started damage fees when renting a fancy fashion item. How many times have you been out in the bar and spilled on a brand new designer bag or dropped to the ground. Rental service charge for any damage (except normal wear and tear) in the bag, too.
Despite the bad investments and stress-related concerns about lost or stolen, rented designer accessories, one of the biggest problems I have with renting a bag is "germs." When you arrive lease, you have no idea who he rented in advance. You have no idea what was done in a briefcase or bag in which it was before it arrives at your doorstep. Throughout the year there was a study published on many germs and insects that thrive in the bag, including e-coli, Salmonella, Bacillus, superbugs, and many more viruses. But what is even worse than the fact that it is difficult to have a germ-free bag, that bag to pick up these germs from normal use (using public restrooms, dirty make-up bags, etc.). Now think about all the places are rented handbags May - you get the picture
.There are many other options for renting a designer handbag that means having:
- Shop around: There are many sites that offer the names of today's hottest designer handbags at discounted prices, such as eFashionHouse and supplies to name a few.
- Take advantage of sales: most of the big name retailers have big sales throughout the year, and although the bags are not discounted, such as online stores, you can still find a job.
- Layaway: Some websites, such as BrandsBoutique, offer layaway plans so that you can pay over time, but still grab a new bag when you see it.
- Go Vintage: Vintage handbags are back in a big way. In fact, some sites are now offering vintage bags, and even consider them premium inventory. So do not waste your money renting of used bags when you can buy one for the same price as renting! Visit the online shops like luxuryvintage and jillsconsignment.
- Saving: One of the brightest opportunities owning a must-have designer bag that is putting your money into a savings account until you have enough money to purchase the item you want. In addition, once you are able to afford a designer handbag, investment property can be resold (now vintage goods tomorrow). Some of the designer bags at a higher resale price of your investment.
If the designer handbag you are considering it, but do not have money to spend to get, think twice before using a rental service. You may think you're saving money, but in reality the investment actually does pay off at all!
