The Luxury List is a monthly column on all things luxury, tapping the foremost experts in the fashion space to explore everything from craftsmanship deep dives to the little-known details to consider when buying fine jewelry.
We called out some the best designer buys last year, and many of them continue to be big sellers, including the Cartier Baignoire watch, The Row’s Margaux bag, Alaïa’s ballerina flats, and High Sport’s kick-flare pants. Since the beginning of the year, we have started to see new pieces dominate luxury fashion from a shopping standpoint. Which designer pieces have risen in status in 2024?
It comes as little surprise that the Mary Jane flats from Chanel’s S/S 24 collection are one of the most sought-after pieces this season. They went viral on social media the moment they debuted on the runway and topped the request lists for product sourcers. Alaïa has yet another cult accessory on its hands with the release of the Le Teckel bag, which is sold out at practically every retailer. Though buzz for the Hermès Balusoie is just starting to pick up, the scarf-print bag has the makings of a cult item to own. The piece is primed for vacations, so we’re predicting it will be everywhere this summer. The list doesn’t stop there. Ahead, take a closer look at the best designer shopping buys to invest in now.
Alaïa Le Teckel Bag
Though Alaïa is historically known for its couture-like craftsmanship when it comes to clothing, the brand has recently gained significant buzz for accessories. Last year, the Mary Jane mesh ballerina flats were so hot they were practically impossible to track down. Now, Alaïa has replicated that success with the Le Teckel bag—arguably the most in-demand bag of 2024 so far.
