As a fashion editor, I’m constantly on the lookout for the best new arrivals on the fashion scene. Since one of my focuses is luxury, I pay special attention to the coolest new releases from designers and the pieces that are worth investing in. These can often be shoes or bags with high price tags, but no matter your budget, there are some great finds to be found in luxury shopping, including pieces that cost under $500.
I’ve scoured the market to find the very best designer items in the price range, including pieces from brands like Chanel, Hermès, Cartier, Prada and more. The items include everything from the cult sunglasses everyone is adding to their closet and the season’s biggest swimwear trends to iconic heritage pieces and sale finds you won’t want to wait to add to your cart. Ahead: the best luxury shopping finds under $500.
