My second Bag, Borrow or Steal experience

So, I'm sure you've heard of Bag, Borrow, or Steal (BBS) by now, and if you haven't, well, you're probably not reading this right now. What you might not know is that they don't just have great bags, they also have jewelry and sunglasses! Some of the stuff is really unbelieveable. The parent company, @avelle also has a really great twitter account about fasion and their escapades.

I have been browsing the BBS website for a few months now, finally renting my first item (left) the A.B.S. by Allen Schwartz Baguette Ombre Necklace & Earrings. I was mostly drawn in to renting this because BBS was offering a special: rent something from the Purple Passion collection and recieve a $50 credit for the upcoming outlet sale. I thought - awesome necklace and earrings for my brithday, christmas, AND New Years, PLUS $50?!?! So I was all over it. The necklace and earrings were about $40 for the week. I think I wore them 4 times.

A few weeks later the outlet sale was announced and I surfed on over. The fourth bag I saw was the Elliott Lucca 'Adele' Tote (right). It was $45.98 + $5 for shipping... so with my $50 credit this bag cost me $0.98!!!! (I still can't believe that.) It's such a great winter bag, white and gold and HUGE! Carrying this bag is like carrying around my room in stylish case.

Needless to say, I have had great experiences with BBS with one tiny exception. There is definately a need for a better business department there - mostly the shipping and billing end. They don't have very quick turnaround, you have to know you're going to want / need something and plan accordingly. Secondly, if UPS screws up and doesn't get the package back immediately, they will charge you again. BBS' customer service department, on the other hand, is awesome. Every time I've called in a VERY nice lady has helped me with a smile and usually some great fasion banter!

So, overall - great products - unbelieveable website (WHO is their webmaster - they are phenomenal) and great customer service. Be prepared for a wait.

Enjoy!!!
