Luxury Investment Pieces

LUXURY INVESTMENT PIECES

If you are going to buy luxury , buy classic. There is no worse feeling than buying the seasons hottest item, maxing out the credit card, then seeing it vulgarised by fakes weeks later. Trends come and go. Style is eternal. Be cautious you don't invest your hard earned cash on an item that will end up at the back of your closet.  Buy fewer, but of good quality, and try to stick to classic pieces for financial investments.

THE LUXURY INVESTMENT LIST

-Pieces that will stand the test of time-

LOUIS VUITTON LUGGAGE 


A classic piece for the stylish traveller.
Be careful to invest in the correct model. If you don't want your precious Louie
getting thrown around by luggage handlers or possibly stolen, I would suggest getting on-board or hand held luggage.

Hand-held luggage can be used between traveling as a gym bag or overnight bag

Could also be used as a work bag or a stylish baby bag !
