Lease your way to a luxury lifestyle
With the credit crunch biting, you might think it's time to do your bit to reign in excess spending. In St Paul Minnesota a company, "From Bags To Riches", (FBTR)founded by Kara Richter, is spreading the love around by allowing her clients to rent, rather than buy designer hand bags.
FBTR carries handbags from the most sought after designer brands, including Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Kate Spade, Coach, Marc Jacobs, Dolce & Gabbana, Prada, Gucci, Balenciaga, Jimmy Choo, Chloe and numerous others.
Bag rental prices range from $22.95 to $299.95, depending on the designer and crafting of the purse. The merchandise is organized by price in categorical Collections. Four of our six Collections feature sumptuous handbags that can borrowed for under $55 a month.
Borrowing time can be extended at any time with a simple phone call or email.
If a customer finds parting with a bag too difficult, she can purchase it for a deeply discounted price. FBTR helps alleviate high retail pricing even further by applying a portion of the borrowing charge to the purchasing of the bag in the second rental month.
As founder Kara Richter explains; "As my lifestyle became more diverse so did my need for handbag diversity. More bags, more colors, more styles, and yes more money. But to invest in handbags with the underlying thought of having to carry the same bag for years was not inspiring. Wouldn't it be great to fill my closet with a huge variety of handbags that I could carry at any time? Change color or style on a whim? I have more than 20 pairs of shoes, why not handbags? Thus...FROM BAGS TO RICHES was born."
It seems a great idea, fractional ownership has been applied to private jets and classic cars... why not handbags, after all the price of some is similarly eye-watering. The bad news is the service is only available in the USA.
