LoanMe or OwnMe is a virtual closet filled with a handpicked collection of the some of the world's most covetable and rare luxury handbags, all waiting to be plucked from their shelves and hand delivered to your doorstep. Filled with a dazzling array of must-haves and special finds, the website was created by Amanda Easterbrook who has "always had a penchant for exquisite, unusual things... and as I grew up and matured into a woman I discovered handbags!" Working as a brand specialist by day, she spends her free time "endlessly pawing the pages of Vogue, Harpers Bazaar - pretty much any fashion magazine I can lay my hands on - coveting the latest, most exciting, most desirable bags." Over the years she quietly developed a small but highly prized collection of uniquely beautiful handbags, and become somewhat renowned amongst friends as the go-to girl for that special accessory for the races or a night out..
The easy to use website is already proving to be a formula for success, with both registrations and rentals soaring in number since the day of its launch. Brands offered include Prada, Chanel, Fendi, Gucci, Burberry and Jimmy Choo, with new additions arriving daily.
