SLG: How To Get Started With Luxury Brands
Small leather goods (‘SLG’) are a fantastic way to get started with luxury brands. They are the most affordable goods on the market. When buying goods, you want to ensure you enjoy the item and what the design stands for. This guide is here to help you with your first-ever purchase. You’ll find what you need from Burberry to Yves Saint Laurent below.
BURBERRY
SLG: Small Icon Stripe ECONYL Travel Pouch
A staple in British fashion culture is the effervescent Burberry Trench Coat. Whilst this garment may be out of your price range now, you must build trust with the brand. Start with this travel pouch and take it on the go with you. This way, you’ll know if the brand is quality enough to invest in more key staples.
BULGARI
SLG: Serpenti Forever Card Holder
Bulgari is a champion when it comes to jewellery and personalised gifts. The well-known serpent logo is embossed upon bags and fine jewellery alike. A bonus of this SLG is that it is personalisable and holds six credit card slots! As Bulgari is not for the faint-hearted, begin with the serpenti forever card holder above.
CHLOÉ
SLG: Darryl Coin Purse
100% Leather. This coin purse is an excellent start to your luxury collection. The French are known for their simplistic style, and Chloé is a French fashion house, so there is no difference. Many members of the general public will not think of Chloé when luxury is the stimulus, so this purse will also be a friendly ‘fly under the radar’ bag choice.
GUCCI
SLG: GG Marmont Cosmetic Case
Makeup is a girl’s best friend, and I have the perfect meeting in the middle. I like to splurge on makeup unless I want to try drugstore products. This cosmetic case is a step in the luxury direction and introduces you to the world of Gucci.
LOUIS VUITTON
SLG: Clémence Wallet
Louis Vuitton is the largest luxury fashion house in the world. Anyone looking to build a staple luxury collection must have an item from Louis Vuitton embedded in its very essence. It is up to you which product you choose, but the small leather goods section is a great place to start. It is the most price-effective part of Louis Vuitton and an excellent way to see if the brand is perfect or too gaudy for you.
MARC JACOBS
SLG: Peanuts X Marc Jacobs – The Snapshot Compact Wallet
This wallet has a space for both cards, cash and receipts. It doesn’t scream designer, either, so it’s an excellent way to fly under the radar. This wallet is creative enough to stand out amongst more boring designs. A clear winner for your collection.
VERSACE
SLG: Virtus Leather Pouch
Large enough to fit your emergency daily essentials, this pouch is an excellent start for your growing collection. Versace is all about strength and female empowerment. The ultimate goal is to shop their ready-to-wear (RTW) or La Medusa bag collection. This pouch will fit perfectly in the bottom of your everyday bag and let you know if you enjoy Versace. Slowly you can build up your luxury collection.
VIVIENNE WESTWOOD
SLG: Debbie Long Card Holder
You may know of Vivienne Westwood through the logo appearing on jewellery. Namely, pearl necklaces. However, Vivienne Westwood (‘VW’) is much more than jewellery and SLGs; VW is a moment. It says that you don’t care about what anyone thinks, and you have this cool alternate yet fashionable side. Begin with this Debbie long cardholder if you are interested in a VW luxury arsenal in the future.
YVES SAINT LAURENT
SLG: Monogram Bill Pouch
Yves Saint Laurent (‘YSL’) is mainly recognised for its embossed bags and shoe designs. It is an entry position into the sexy and sultry side of luxury. There is a maturity to YSL, which exemplifies its position as a staple in any luxury collection. As YSL is a commitment, begin your arsenal with the monogram bill pouch to see if it is worth your investment.
In summary, SLGs are the most cost-effective way of beginning your journey into luxury goods. Holistically, you won’t be investing much into the brand, as SLGs are usually the easiest purchase you can make. Build your collection slowly to clearly distinguish which brands you like and trust.
