When it comes to trends – they come and go, but fashion, and true classic quality last forever. Which is why there are a few investment pieces that you can make, and either wear for any occasion or save and watch the value increase over time. They can become heirlooms, or they can be used if someone needs to cash at a later date.
The following list is a mixture of both.
Bags
Although you might see these more often than you used to, the Chanel 2.55 Flap Bag is a thing of beauty. The exciting thing about these is that even now a used one will go for almost the same price as a brand new one. Which speaks volumes to how coveted it is.
Gucci GG Marmont Bag is of a similar shape and style, and people have fallen in love with the velvety goodness. Although Gucci always has a spotlight shining on them for one product or another, the Marmont bag has become a must-have for handbag collectors and of course Gucci enthusiasts.
The Prada Galleria Bag is bigger and made for being used. It’s incredibly polished, and this top-handled satchel is the satchel to end the rest.
LV Luggage. Perhaps the most luxurious way your clothing can travel. They are a staple of the celebrities of the world, and those with great taste too. It ages well and is more than designed for use.
Jewellery
The right pieces of jewellery will last a lifetime. And while playing with cheaper pieces is a lot of fun, and investment piece changes the stakes.
Cartier Love Bracelet is possible one of the most simple pieces, and even if you are aren’t partial to wearing bracelets this one goes with everything. It works in stacks or alone, so is versatile too.
Stacking Rings from De Beers. If you love to stack rings, but often find yourself not sure which go together perfectly, then this is the ideal solution. You can choose from a range of diamonds or gemstones, and they’re designed to go together.
Estate Jewelry from Grays and Sons. There are some jewellers that specialise in big designer names that have had a life before you. An affordable way to get really high-end pieces that are likely vintage and rare.
Diamond Earrings are elegant and understated. However, they catch the light in all the right ways. Stray from the path of the traditional round diamond and go for a square instead.
Shoes
Chanel Slingback Pumps are incredibly easy to wear and go with almost everything. Because of the cap-toe, they have the edge looks-wise over many other pumps, and they aren’t going to go out of style anytime soon.
Manolo Blahnik Hangisi Pumps have been riding high for years, and that doesn’t seem to be slowing down any time soon. The jewel-encrusted front brings the right amount of sparkle to any occasion, and they work with more casual outfits too.
When it comes to classics, they are always in a higher price bracket, but the idea is when you buy quality, you don’t need to buy in quantity, and they will stand the test of time.
Knowledge
You can never underestimate how much you can make from what you know. Investments be they shoes, bags, gold bars or bitcoins needs to have the right knoweldge behind it. So before you decide to make any big financial decisions, make sure you have read up on exactly what a stock is, how you can buy shares, how to short bitcoin and why gold holds is value so well.
