Bag Borrow or Steal offers women the opportunity to borrowluxury purses, jewelry, and sunglasses for a week or longer for a member fee and borrowing fee. If you love the bag so much, you're able to "steal" it at a discount.
The website says it's the alternative to buying designer handbags and allows customers to have more luxury, more often.
There are 4,000 styles of luxury handbags and jewelry from more than 100 designers, including Chanel, Gucci, Prada, Coach, Louis Vuitton, Stephen Dweck and Vera Wang.
Danielle Frangos of Columbia likes the lesser known designers, like Perlina.
She and her friends found the website after seeing the "Sex and the City" movie.
"I think it's saving money forme because I'd spend $800 dollars on a bag, but I'd keep it in the closet and not use it," said Frangos.
After being a member of the website for just two months, she's already on her second bag.
"For me, the problem is I get bored easily," she said, "With this I spend $35 dollars a month and I'mnot spending nearly as much as I would on one bag and I get 12 new bags throughout the year."
And she says they are like new. Frangos said her biggest fear was that the bag would come tattered and torn, but she says that's not the case.
Her only complaint is that the site has gotten so popular, she has to be on a waiting list for some bags.
"The toughest thing is making sure they have in stock what you want," Frangos said.
Especially since there's not much access to designer stores in South Carolina.
"I can't go to a Gucci store or a Chanel store and look around at purses, but I can go to the website and try them out," Frangos commented.
Bags range from $6 to $1,600 depending on the designer and the prices are comparable for jewelry and sunglasses.
