Rock high-end designer pieces without committing to the hefty price tag (or owning it forever).
Filling your closet with luxury items doesn’t have to kill your savings account (because as amazing as owning a vintage Chanel quilted handbag would be, you can’t live in it).
From designer handbags to outfit-making statement jewelry, each of these chic choices is available to borrow from a rental or subscription service for a fraction of the full price. (And we’re talking major design houses, from Chanel to Saint Laurent to Marc Jacobs.)
Sure, you have to give your rentals back at the end of the month, but that just means you get to pick out another super-luxe item to rock for another month or so at a time.
Below, our favorites available right now.
Chanel Earrings
These double-C clip-ons give off a vintage vibe that’s also thoroughly modern. (And you don’t even need pierced ears to wear them!) Pair them with a black turtleneck at work for a classic lady-who-lunches vibe, or with your favorite floaty floral dress for a more casual feel.

Louis Vuitton Handbag
