I have mentioned before that I wanted to start building a collection of designer items because :
{1} I came to realize that the quality and craftsmanship of these goods are very superb. They can last a long time and you will get your money's worth eventually.
{2} The preloved market is still huge so you can sell these goods for a very good price even though it's already a few years old (sometimes with classic items such as the LV Speedy bag you can sell them in almost the same price as you bought it - as long as it's in very good condition & complete package).
{3} For classic items you can even worn them for years and years, and even hand it down to your daughter or granddaughter (!) and it would still retain it's luxury name.

So I decided to build my collection (although very slowly - because I don't have a lot of money), and I treated them as an investment as well as a personal collection. It started 2 years ago and it has been going on very slowly, lol. But last year I was blessed to be able to add several items to my growing designer collection. This list is for my personal use only :


2015 Acquisitions :

1. Kate Spade "Scattered Pavillion" Flexible iPhone Hardcase
2. Michael Kors Leopard iPhone HardCase
3. Michael Kors Signature iPhone HardCase in Bronze
4. Vintage Fendi Bag
5. Louis Vuitton Mini Pochette Accessoires in Monogram (!)
6. Michael Kors Hamilton Zip Wallet in Luggage
7. Coach Raw-Silk Scarf
8. Rebecca Minkoff Mini Mac Bag in Purple
9. DKNYJeans Knit/Wool Sweater
10. Ralph Lauren Scarf
11. Calvin Klein Peach Blouse


Note: I tried very hard to save a lot of money to be able to buy these things. Then I paid the rest by installments ;p - I also sold a couple of my older bags and stuffs to create a fund to buy new smaller items ;)


 
Cheers!
