On Monday I wrote about the wonderful surprise that greeted me on my desk at Shiny Towers first thing in the morning. Sitting on my desk was a big box containing a Mulberry Bayswater and a Balenciaga City.
The bags are a trial from Handbaghire HQ which is one of a growing number of websites which actually hires out high end designer totes. As designer prices continue to rise I think this is a great idea, particularly for special occasions. I have been using a red Balenciaga city bag (pictured). Aside from the fact that I have to guard it with my life and treat every member of the public as a potential mugger I really like it!
It's a great sized tote and has a couple of useful pockets for phone/oyster card etc. It's made of high quality leather that feels very soft. This is one of the more expensive bags to hire costing £30 a week, however you can get a Gucci bag from as little as £10 a week.
