A bag is one of the essential accessories in any closet. You may love a bg, but did you know the stars guided you there? At least, that’s what I told my bank account… When we buy bags, we are guided not only by fashion trends but also by the intuitive feeling that comes from choosing our own “it” bags.
The Sac De Jour was an instant fan favourite with its sleek lines, simple design and roomy interior. Celebrities all over the world were rocking this bag.
Luxe Bag Rental is the Airbnb of bags.
You can “Rent to own” or “Rent and Return”
Rent to Own: Have you ever purchased a bag and regretted your choice afterward? If so, rent to own is for you. At Luxe Bag Rental, you can try any handbag from our designer’s collection before you commit to it and avoid the hassle of reselling it.
My favorite videos to watch on YouTube are “what is in my bag?”.. I always watch and once someone explains the purpose of an item in their bag, I run and put it in my purse. Tape is the one thing I carry around that people think is strange – but the amount of times it has come in handy, I don’t regret that purchase.

The influencer and celebrity “it” bag: the Givenchy Antigona. The Antigona first launched in F/W 2011 under Creative Director Riccardo Tisci. It followed the great success of his previous launch, the Nightingale bag.

Mario Prada originally founded Prada in 1913, however, it didn’t make an impact in the fashion world until Miuccia Prada took charge of her grandfather’s company in 1978. Prada was originally a leather goods firm. Initially, it sold animal goods and imported English steamer trunks and handbags. Miuccia Prada’s initial success was selling a nylon backpack with a silver triangular label. Shortly after, her shoes and handbag designs became popular in various international markets. In 1989, they added their ready-to-wear line, in 1992 they founded Miu Miu, a slightly less expensive line, and finally they added Prada Sport. Miu Miu was Miuccia Prada, a nickname of her family.

Mommy Bag (noun): Mary Poppins of bags usually contain diapers, snacks and everything you and everyone around you may need. Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need to have a kid to rock a mommy bag. How is a mommy bag different from a tote? I’m glad you asked.

The Birkin is the OG mommy bag – Jane Birkin originally used it as a diaper bag. Bags are meant to be enjoyed and used. If you are worried about them getting a little dirty, don’t worry, we […]
The origin of the word tote is “to carry” with roots dating back to the 17th century. In the West African language, Kikonho, the word “tota” means to “pick up”. In Kimbundu, the word “tuta” means “carry;load” and in Swahili “tuta” means “pick up,carry”. Did you know that the first tote bags were originally worn around the waist? Back in the day, if your tote was embellished or embroidered, it was a status symbol of wealth. In 1940, LL Bean created their first tote bag to carry Ice and Wood. This practical canvas bag was made to last – it’s now known as a boat bag (because of its broad shape). In the 1960s, Bonnie Cashin started a tote collection called Cashin Carry tote bag which is now known as Coach. Her collection was spacious, colorful, beautiful, modern and made […]
