Something borrowed, beautifully done
A wedding asks for a bag you carry once, and a designer piece for a single day is a lot to buy. Kaya is a members-only club for shared access to authenticated designer handbags, so you can borrow the bag for the celebration and send it back afterwards.
The Prelude tier is made for exactly this. One borrow, 5 to 10 days, from R1,999, with no monthly membership. Authentication, insurance, and door-to-door delivery across South Africa are included, so the bag arrives ready for the day.
A bag for your role in the day
Wedding guest
A small top-handle or a structured clutch holds your phone, lipstick, and keys, and finishes the outfit in photographs.
Mother of the bride
An elegant clutch in a soft neutral sits with formal dress and stays in your hand through the speeches and the dancing.
The bride
Borrow a Chanel or a Dior for the reception and the going-away, without buying a bag you wear for one afternoon.
How borrowing works

Carry it, then send it back
Your bag is delivered before the wedding. Carry it for the day and return it when your borrow ends.
Designers ready for the occasion
The formal part of the collection holds the pieces that suit a wedding: a Chanel flap on a fine chain, a Dior top-handle, a Saint Laurent clutch, and structured styles from Bottega Veneta, Gucci, and Fendi. Every bag is authenticated and inspected before it reaches you.

Prelude is a pay-per-borrow tier from R1,999 for 5 to 10 days, with no monthly membership. The price scales with the retail value of the bag and the length of your borrow, and it includes authentication, insurance, and delivery to your door.
If you have more than one event this season, Essence at R2,499 a month and Signature at R4,999 a month each include 2 borrows a month, with additional borrows at half price. You can read the full breakdown on the FAQ.
Wedding borrowing questions
Can I borrow a designer bag just for a wedding?
Yes. The Prelude tier is a single borrow from R1,999 for 5 to 10 days, with no monthly membership. Request the bag, carry it for the wedding, and send it back when your borrow ends.
How far in advance should I request a bag?
Request at least two weeks ahead so we can confirm availability and deliver in good time. During peak wedding season, earlier is safer because popular pieces book quickly.
Do you deliver to weddings across South Africa?
We deliver nationwide across South Africa. Give us the delivery address and your dates, and your bag arrives before the day. Delivery is included.
Are the bags authenticated?
Every bag is authenticated and inspected before it reaches you. Authentication, insurance, and door-to-door delivery are included in the price.
