Sophisticated Closet Essentials for Luxury Lovers

Posted by on

Owning luxury items often has the benefit of a lifetime of use and value retention. Designer pre-loved (pre-owned) goods continuously gain demand as savvy sophisticated shoppers realize they can own luxury items for less. Online Auctions are a great way to shop for luxury brands to add to your collection. Much of the demand for pre-loved luxury goods comes from the way these goods fluctuate in value “depending on buzz around a certain designer, particularly if a fashion house hires a new creative director or chief executive,” according to a recent Fortune Magazine article.

With so much changing, we have a list of brands to consider according to thefashionlaw.com…

BRANDS THAT HOLD THEIR VALUE THE LONGEST: Chanel, Christian Louboutin, Hermès, Cartier, David Yurman, Alaïa, Van Cleef & Arpels, and Goyard.

BRANDS WITH A "SURPRISINGLY" HIGH RE-SALE VALUE (aka that re-sell quite close to their original price):  Givenchy, Victoria Beckham, Charlotte Olympia and Alexander McQueen.

BRANDS THAT LOSE VALUE FASTEST: Tod’s, Versace, Marni, Valextra, and Etro.

BRANDS WITH A "SURPRISINGLY" LOW RE-SALE VALUE: Alexander Wang, 3.1 Philip Lim, and Marc Jacobs.”
