These are the five most popular styles in the Luxe Bag Rental closet: the Lady Dior, the Chanel Boy, the Louis Vuitton Pochette Metis, the Celine Pico Belt Bag and the Chanel Pearl Mini Case. Between them they cover every occasion from errands to evenings, and every one rents for 15 or 30 days.
Why is the Lady Dior a rental favorite?
The Lady Dior is one of the most classic bags in fashion. It was first released in 1994, then became a phenomenon in 1995 after it appeared for the first time on the arm of Lady Diana during a trip to Paris. The bag was nameless before that moment, and the name Lady Dior was given after it. The design is a structured tote with small top handles and a broader base, and it comes in four main sizes: Mini, Small, Medium and Large. It works as an everyday bag in the larger sizes, and the smaller versions pair perfectly with an evening look.
What makes the Chanel Boy different?
The Chanel Boy was introduced in 2011 and quickly became one of the house's iconic designs. Karl Lagerfeld created it with inspiration from a cartridge bag, and it is built to be worn as a shoulder bag or as a crossbody. Compared to the Classic Chanel Flap, the Boy is bulkier and edgier, with a coarse chain handle and a lego brick lock. Inside is a single flap with one large compartment and a small non-zippered pocket. It comes in small, old medium, and large or new medium: the medium is the most popular and fits a phone, wallet and keys. Edgy and classic at once, it works for parties and coffee dates alike.
Why does the Pochette Metis work as an everyday bag?
The Louis Vuitton Pochette Metis was released in 2012 and became hugely popular around 2014. A spacious interior and an adjustable strap are the reasons it became a go-to everyday bag, and the design adds an S lock closure, a chic top handle and a long detachable strap for shoulder or crossbody wear. It comes in one size, 9.8 x 7.5 x 2.8 inches, which is enough for errands and everything after.

What is the Celine Pico Belt Bag for?
The Belt Bag made its debut in 2015 with a front flap that tucks under a belt closure, and the Pico is its smallest size. A top handle makes it easy to grab, and the adjustable strap keeps it functional for daily use. The Pico fits the smaller size iPhone, a small wallet or cardholder, and lipstick, so it is built for the mini bag era and for mornings that only require the necessities. It also delivers the easiest pop of color in this lineup.
What is the appeal of the Chanel Pearl Mini Case?
The Chanel Pearl Mini Case Crossbody is a limited edition piece best described as a cardholder on a chain. It fits cards, some change and maybe a pack of mints, and it still manages to scream sophisticated. At 4.5 x 4 x 1 inches it is the smallest bag in the top five, and it is the one that turns heads at parties and events.
How does renting work?
All Luxe Bag Rental bags rent for 15 or 30 days, with extended periods available by request. The service is built to be easy for Canadian clients: pick the bag, wear it, and send it back when the term ends. If you are in Calgary, a weekend rental is available locally, which covers weddings, dinners and one-off events without a full-term commitment.
