5 Key Pieces to Start Your Luxury Collection
In this blog post I would like to talk about 5 key pieces to start your luxury collection. I’ve been collecting luxury items for many years now and I believe that now is the right time to share my thoughts on which items I would get if I started my collection from scratch again. So, If you are just considering to start your luxury collection, keep on reading!
1. A Designer Belt
A statement designer belt will definitely elevate your look. Even if you are wearing something very simple and basic, adding one of the iconic designer belts will instantly elevate your look. Moreover, adding a belt will make the outfit look way more sophisticated and put together. Another reason why it is a good idea to invest in a designer belt, is that you will certainly get a lot of use out of it. My best recommendation is going for the Gucci Marmont Belt – the design is already iconic and the belt is of exceptional craftsmanship, so it will for sure stand the test of time.
2. A Versatile Bag
3. Designer Jewelry
You can never go wrong with a classic piece of designer jewelry! I think that investing in a piece of costume designer jewelry is a great idea for someone who’s just starting up their luxury collection. These pieces are very often on the affordable side. One can pick up classic Chanel CC earrings for less than $500 or classic Fendi Logo earrings with pearl detail for around $420. There is a lot of beautiful costume designer jewelry available out there. Chanel and Fendi are two of my favorite designer brands when it comes to costume jewelry. But if I was starting my collection from all over again, I would most certaintly opt for a pair of classy Chanel CC’s.
4. Sunglasses
No matter what you are wearing, a pair of fabulous sunglasses will not only elevate any outfit, but will also make you look chic and put together. As far as I recall, exactly sunglasses were my first ever designer item. Why I believe it’s a great idea to start off your luxury collection with a purchase of designer sunglasses is cost-per-wear. I, personally, reach for my pair almost every day. Without a doubt, sunglasses are my most-used fashion accessory. When it comes to a specific shape, I prefer either square, cat eye or aviator. My personal favorite brands for designer sunglasses are Celine, Saint Laurent and Gucci.
5. Small Leather Goods (SLG’s)
Last but not least in my list of the 5 key pieces to start your luxury collection with are SLG’s. Earlier this year I devoted an entire blog post to designer small leather goods. The category includes: card holders, wallets, key holders, pouches and other useful small items. I truly believe that SLG’s are an awesome first pick for someone who is just starting to get into the luxury. SLGs are functional and extremely useful. They are the pieces I, personally, find reaching for and using all the time. My personal favorite designer small leather goods include: Monogram Card Case from Saint Laurent, Mini Pochette Accessories and 6 Key Holder from Louis Vuitton.
These are my top 5 picks when it comes to starting a luxury collection. Remember to leave your thoughts in the comments below!
Happy luxury shopping!
