9 Women’s Designer Accessories Actually Worth The Money

Spoiler alert: there are some pricey pieces in this next story, but if you’ve been thinking about investing in some key women’s designer accessories or – lucky for some – continue to add to your artillery, these are the pieces genuinely worth the money. From Chanel’s iconic 2.55 bag to Gucci’s timeless loafers, these nine stellar buys come with serious cost per wear kudos.

Parting with hefty sums of money when it comes to clothes can be daunting, but if you are in the market to start building a capsule wardrobe or simply looking for something special you’ll treasure for years to come, there are some designer pieces we always return to. The key is to look for wearability and practicality. How many pieces in my existing wardrobe will this work with? Can I see this still working hard in my wardrobe in 10, 20, 30 years time and beyond? Is this piece so classic I can see it in the wardrobes of anyone from Alexa Chung to Kate Middleton?

You’re looking for something you will genuinely get a joy out of wearing, multiple times over and perhaps a piece that you can pass down in years to come. And just because an investment piece is considered a sensible buy, doesn’t mean it has to be boring. Take Chanel’s iconic slingback heels. They look prim and proper with a summery little white dress, but equally cool with cut-off denim shorts and a vintage t-shirt, perfectly playing into TikTok’s current “wrong shoe theroy“. Or Loewe’s Puzzle bag, which somehow manages to make every look feel contemporary and fresh even after all these years, whilst many other designer bags can feel stale after a season or two in the limelight.
