While you may not be able to stretch to Chanel pearls, a Prada handbag, or Louis Vuitton luggage, these more affordable pieces can be a starting point for a bigger designer collection further down the line. Every item is a statement piece featuring each brands’ iconic logo, all of which radiate luxury and brand heritage.
Chanel
Chanel Women’s CH5405 53Mn Polarized Sunglasses
Owning a piece of Chanel is owning a timeless classic. The luxury French brand has a legacy of dressing icons like Audrey Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor, so it is no surprise that Chanel is one of the most loved designer brands of all time. The polarized sunglasses display the iconic Chanel cs and exude class and sophistication. Not only does the tortoiseshell pattern, oval frames, and denim temples give a unique look to the sunglasses, but the sunglasses also offer practicality with 100% UV protection.
Versace
Graphic Print Scarf
The classic Versace Baroque print radiates extravagance. Made from 100% luxury silk, this printed scarf is the perfect accessory to spruce up an otherwise boring outfit. The scarf can be tied around your neck or added to a bag strap for a look of opulence.
Gucci
Ophidia GG Passport Case
Made in Italy, the Gucci passport case features the signature double G logo with green and red stripes, three card slots, and a snap closure. The passport case is made from GG Supreme canvas material which has a low environmental impact and it includes a leather trim for an extra bit of luxury.
Saint Laurent
Saint Laurent Grey Monogrammed Quilted Wallet
There are few more classic pieces than a leather, quilted wallet. The Saint Laurent grey calfskin wallet includes a fold-over flap featuring the YSV logo gold-tone hardware, a zippered central compartment, and five card slots. If you are traveling light, you could even use the wallet as a clutch (I won’t tell!).
Louis Vuitton
Ceinture Carre Buckle Belt
While social media is full of influencers wearing the Gucci belt, this Louis Vuitton belt has gone underappreciated. The Louis Vuitton dark brown leather belt would look great paired with jeans for everyday wear. The signature monogram print and quality silver-tone buckle fastening leave no doubt that the designer is Louis Vuitton.
Prada
Logo Plaque Cardholder
A leather cardholder is a great first designer purchase as it is often one of the more affordable accessories of a designer collection. The Prada cardholder features both card slots and a coin pocket, while still offering a compact, sleek design. Not to mention that the neutral camel-brown color will look great next to any color manicure! And if you are feeling like you are ready to splurge on a designer handbag worthy of the cardholder, read New York Gal’s article here.
