Be a Fashionista (be-a-fashionista.co.uk), an upscale site based in London; Secret-Boutique (secret-boutique.com) and Bag Steal and Borrow (www.bagstealandborrow.co.uk)--yes, the name is uncannily familiar--have all been launched in the past year. Dutch bag fans can borrow from Bag Habits (baghabits.com). When it comes to handbags, the status trap, it seems, is a global phenomenon...
