From Hermès to Chanel, These 29 Finds Are Super Luxe and Under $500
As a fashion editor, I constantly have my eye out for the best new arrivals on the fashion scene. Since one of the markets I focus on is the luxury space, I pay particularly close attention to the coolest drops from designers and the investment-worthy pieces that are worth the splurge. That can often mean shoes or bags with steep price points, but there are some great luxury finds that are under $500.
I scoured the market to find the very best designer items in the price range, including pieces from brands such as Chanel, Hermès, Cartier, Prada, and more. The items include everything from the cult sunglasses everyone is adding to their closets and the biggest swimsuit trends of the season to iconic heritage pieces and sale finds you won’t want to wait to add to your cart. Ahead, the best under-$500 luxury shopping finds.
The white pair is great, and I'm also eyeing the colorful versions.
It doesn't get more iconic that this exact shade of yellow on a beach chair.
You'll always know when your bag arrives with this Bottega Veneta travel tag.
Everyone is accessorizing their bags with charms and tags like this Alaïa cœur key ring.
Loewe's swimwear is especially strong this summer.
Get in on the olive green trend that is set to be big.
