“Why buy good luggage? You only use it when you travel.” -Yogi Berra

Oh, that treasured Louis Vuitton luggage.

The most desired luggage pieces and handbags..
If you have the cash, go for it and grab one at your closest LV.
If not... Try looking for Louis luggage on eBay as a second option. Buying on eBay its own science/art/strategy. Six years and 256 positive feedback points later, it is safe to say that caution when shopping on eBay is key. I got lucky and scored an authentic Keepall.. but of course if you are looking for an authentic Louis Vuitton luggage (or handbag), make sure you can tell the reals from the fakes.

If you want the LV, but not the price tag, there is still an option for you! The third and least stressful option is simple: BORROW IT.

Avelle, formerly known as Bag Borrow or Steal, lends authentic designer jewelry and accessories to members for an affordable price. With options to rent for as short as one week, customers can borrow items for special events. (And yes, that was them in the Sex and the City Movie! )

Check out these beautiful Louis luggage pieces available to rent on Avelle:
