I'm seeing some incredible pieces pop up if you know where to look and what to covet.

Forget fast fashion, we're after investment pieces with history, stories, and, crucially, style!

The Dior Saddle Bag: This is the ultimate status symbol, isn't it? The vintage ones, especially in Oblique canvas or with the iconic gold "CD" hardware, fly off the shelves. Keep an eye out for the John Galliano era pieces – they are pure collectables.
Chanel Classic Flap Bag: A Chanel is always a good investment. Focus on the lambskin or caviar leather, and the size is up to you – the small is timeless and the maxi is fabulous. Don't shy away from vintage tweed ones either, they add such personality! Also look for Chanel Camera bags, often a little cheaper than the classic flap.
Gucci Jackie Bag: The Jackie is back, baby! Look for vintage versions with the iconic piston closure. The leather ones are classics, but the canvas versions are surprisingly chic too.
Hermès Kelly or Birkin (If you're really lucky!): Okay, these are like finding a unicorn, but never say never! Even if you don't find a perfect one, just seeing one is like a religious experience.
Loewe Puzzle Bag: Not strictly vintage, but the pre-loved market is full of these. They are so versatile and practical for everyday wear. Check the resale market for the classic tan colour or any of the limited edition colourways.

Manolo Blahnik Hangisi: The "Sex and the City" shoe! Check for silk satin versions in classic colours like royal blue, black, or nude. These are perfect for special occasions, and gently used ones are a steal.
Christian Louboutin So Kate: The iconic red sole! If you're after a statement, these are it. Inspect the soles carefully and check for wear, but a good cobbler can work wonders.
Prada Monolith Boots: A current favourite with a vintage twist! Many people sell them on as they are quite heavy. Look for the classic black leather or the more daring lug-sole versions.
Chanel Ballerinas: The ultimate in Parisian chic. Look for the classic black and beige combination, or a fun tweed or metallic version. These are incredibly comfortable and stylish.
Doc Martens (Various Styles): Vintage Doc Martens, especially Made in England versions, are incredibly durable and stylish. Look for classic 1460s in black or oxblood.

Chanel Costume Jewellery: The logo brooches, the chunky necklaces, the iconic earrings… Chanel costume jewellery holds its value beautifully. Pay close attention to the back of the pieces and the clarity of the crystals.
Dior "CD" Logo Jewellery: Necklaces, earrings, bracelets… anything with the iconic "CD" logo is a winner. Look for vintage pieces in gold plating.
Tiffany & Co. (Various Collections): The Return to Tiffany heart tag necklaces and bracelets are classic and always in demand. Vintage Elsa Peretti designs are also highly sought after.
Vintage Gold Chains: A classic gold chain can be worn with everything. Look for thick, chunky chains or delicate, layered ones. Check the hallmarks for quality.
Cartier Love Bracelet (If you are lucky!): One of the most sought after pieces of jewellery on the secondhand market. It requires two people to open it as the owner keeps the screwdriver.

Hermès Scarves (Carré): A classic Hermès scarf instantly elevates any outfit. Look for vintage designs in silk twill. There are so many ways to wear them, around your neck, in your hair, tied to your bag.
Vintage Belts (Gucci, Chanel): A statement belt can cinch your waist and add instant glamour. Look for belts with bold buckles and interesting textures.
Sunglasses (Celine, Dior): Oversized sunglasses are always in style. Look for classic shapes and colours.
Cashmere Scarves (Burberry, Aquascutum): A luxurious cashmere scarf is a must-have for London winters. Look for classic check patterns or solid colours.
Vintage Leather Gloves: For colder months. Adds an element of chic.

Burberry Trench Coat: A classic for a reason! Look for vintage versions in the classic beige colour. Check the lining for wear and tear.
Little Black Dress (Vintage): A vintage LBD is a wardrobe essential. Look for dresses in silk, velvet, or wool crepe. Focus on the fit and the details.
Cashmere Sweaters (Various Brands): Cashmere is always a good investment. Look for classic crewnecks or cardigans in neutral colours.
Vintage Denim (Levi's 501s, Wrangler): Vintage denim is incredibly durable and stylish. Look for high-waisted jeans in a classic wash.
Silk Blouses (Various Brands): A silk blouse is a versatile piece that can be dressed up or down. Look for blouses in neutral colours or bold prints.
