TDO Sponsored Giveaway: Handbags from Avelle
(click to enlarge)
Avelle, the new “Bag, Borrow, or Steal,” (of Sex & The City fame) is celebrating its 5th anniversary and giving one lucky TDO reader a $250 gift card to use towards any product on their site. In addition, now through May 13 save 30% and more on all rental fees on over 900 Handbags and other accessories. Avelle is also announcing a grand prize of 5 free months of Couture for one lucky customer (not including vintage). Everyone who rents during the Anniversary sale is entered in a drawing to win.
You can enter to win the $250 gift card (that’s enough to borrow for a month or more on hundreds of designer handbags including Louis Vuitton, Prada, Gucci and more!) by telling us your Avelle picks in the comments. We will announce the winner by random drawing on May 13.
Below are TDO Editor Carolyn’s top 5 picks! Let us know what you think:
1. Valentino Nuage Small Bow Tote : I’ve been lusting over this bag for months and stop by the Valentino counter every time I’m at a department store just to try it on. It’s renting at $127/$211 (member/nonmember) which means you can borrow it for 1 or 2 months with the $250 giftcard.
2. Yves Saint Laurent Small Muse : Another long time lust. A true classic. I’m saving up for the purchase but in the meantime it’s going for $150/$198 a month.
3. Chanel Patent Camel 2.55: Impossible to go wrong with this bag! The all time fave of almost all handbag junkies. For the summer, a patent camel is my color of choice. $250/$267 a month.
4. Borbonese Medium Clutch : Love this simple and elegant design. Plus at $49/$89 a month, a $250 gift card means you can borrow until the holidays!
5. Louis Vuitton Monogram Canvas Papillon 30 Handbag : Obsessed with Louis Vuitton’s limited edition watercolor collection. Couldn’t afford it when it was avaliable, but now can borrow it for more than a month at a rate of $118/$191.

I would use this bag to steal soft dinner rolls from family restaurants. It’s the perfect size for crime – not too big to be conspicuous, big enough to fit the buttery rounds of goodness.
I am completely lusting over the huge Tory Burch totes for summer. Imagine taking that beautiful bag to the pool! Durable, and the perfect size for towels.
I think they just released this bag…and I’m in love!!! Check out the Marc Jacobs ‘Duffy’ Violet Handbag! http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/Handbags/Marc-Jacobs/Marc-Jacobs-Duffy-Violet-Handbag/13409/1934/194
Thanks so much for this awesome giveaway!!! And Happy Birthday Avelle! :)
I don’t think I could “borrow” a Chanel – I wouldn’t ever give it back! But at least I could carry it for a short while and pretend that its mine… :(
I would love to have the Chanel patent Camel bag. It’s gorgeous and a purse I could carry with me everyday, everywhere.
i totally want the balenciaga striped city bag. its such a different take on the classic bag, and the stripes remind me of a boardwalk – perfect for summer.

The TREESJE ‘Avalon’ Tote has me dreaming of matching outfits.
Love all the classic bags, Carolyn has some great picks!
I love the Chloe Large ‘Edith’ Bowler Handbag in red. So simple and elegant.

I LOVE ALL OF THEM! especially the YSL and Chanel! so beautiful!!!! I love chloe and miumiu as well, but the chanel and YSL are HOT!
After a thorough survey of the entire Avelle site, I’ve decided that one of my favorite pieces is the Hermes Vintage Crocodile Birkin Handbag. I’m a sucker for classics, and the edgy take on a classic shape is just wild enough to take an outfit from boring to brilliant in one swoop! Another of my favorites is the Kate Spade ‘Bilbao’ Quinn Handbag. It is the perfect size for carrying essentials but will not impede posture due to the weight of the bag.
I like the Tory Burch North South Tote, It looks very high quality, Thank you for the chance to win!
I would love to borrow the Fendi Large Leather Chief Tote – I love the vibrant orange color, it is perfect for summer!
Yves Saint Laurent Small Muse IS a classic. It would be amazing to rent or own this one! you display great choices.
I’d go for the Chanel ‘Rock and Chain’ Large Patent Flap Handbag. . .I need a great bag that can fit all of my stuff for my hectic days. :)
My son is getting married. I’d love to be carrying Chanel Classic Handbag With Flap (PURPLE) that night. Amazingly gorgeous bag.
I love the Valentino Histore Patent Tote. I love the details on the bag and the size of it. Beautiful!
Louis Vuitton Speedy 30 Monogram handbag….I have wanted this bag for yeaaaars. Hopefully I’ll have enough for it some day!
Of your picks, I like the Valentino best. Fun and feminine!
The Balenciaga Giant City bag would definitely be my pick. It’s the one most resembling the Motorcycle bag from several years ago, which is basically the bag of my dreams :-)
But I have to admit the Rebecca Minkoff Nikki, which is slouchy and fab, and the Chanel Classic CC Tote, which is basically the perfect tote!
I would pick the kate spade Preston Hollow ‘Small Flower Pot’ Tote. Thanks! thebubbledies(at)gmail(dot)com
Tylie Malibu Sahara Hobo Handbag- I love a shoulder bag & grey is so underrated. This one is sumptuous & gorgeous. “Like buttah!” as they say! Very posh but also practical.
I saw this bag and loved the clean feel to it. Gosh it is so a must have.

Due to schlepping my keeping-up-with-the-trends 30 pound oversized handbag, I am now oversize-handbag disabled. This Louis Vuitton Monogram Vernis Roxbury Drive clutch would reduce the load on my shoulder while keeping my style on trend.
Thanks for hosting a fabulous giveaway and happy anniversary to Avelle.
My favorite handbag is the Furla ‘Lily’ Handbag!!! I would love to steal it! I love it! The shape and size is perfect! I really also like the unique color for the spring and summertime!
