With headquarters in St. Paul, Minnesorta, From Bags to Riches first began operations in October of 2004, with the goal of making 100% authentic, ultra high-end handbags available to the general public.

All of the brands you would expect to find are carried by From Bags to Riches, including Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Gucci, Chloe, and several others. They also carry some designers that Avelle does not, including Brahmin, Stuart Weitzman, and more.

One of the advantages of going with a smaller company like this one is that you get much more personalized service. Although Avelle does indeed have a huge selection and competitive pricing, there’s a good chance you can find the same bag for a similar price at From Bags to Riches. If you’re a first time handbag borrower, or if you’re simply looking for an alternative to Avelle to rent a purse, then head on over to From Bags to Riches and have a look for yourself!

“Avelle more accurately reflects who we are as we expand our offering significantly beyond our handbag beginnings”, said Michael Smith, CEO of the company formerly known as Bag, Borrow, or Steal.

A large part of the company’s sudden growth spurt can probably be attributed to the huge boost of handbag rental activity inspired by the company’s cameo in the recent Sex and the City movie.

Recent consumer research has indicated that people are very interested in renting other types of luxury items, in addition to handbags. Currently you can rent designer handbags, sunglasses, and jewelry from Avelle. Their handbag roster features just about every major designer you can think of (over 100 of them), including Louis Vuitton, Burberry, Chanel, Hermès, Isabella Fiore, Marc Jacobs, and many more. New items are always being added.

Be on the lookout out for the new expanded inventory shortly. The next time you’re looking to rent a purse, you may be able to rent a whole ensemble to accompany it!

Existing Bag, Borrow, or Steal customers need not be concerned about the switch. It’s still the same company, just with a different name. So, you can continue handbag borrowing to your heart’s content!

In the long run, this may even result in lower prices for new designer handbags. As the number of satisfied handbag rental customers grows, it creates a new kind of demand and customer base that the big designers will ultimately have to compete for. Win, win!
