No judgement of it’s your thing, I’ve just never into luxury bags, clothing or fine jewelry. My idea of a splurge is buying myself Mejuri jewelry or something from Girlfriend Collective.

What are some of your favorite jewelry, clothing or lifestyle brands that feel luxury but are still relatively affordable? Bonus points of they also have a sustainability component!

Used luxury or vintage is my new obsession. Just got a vintage fendi baguette for $200. Also very sustainable

I find jewelry on Etsy. You can find better quality, even pure gold for a lot cheaper plus you get to support small business owners.

Haha I can’t vouch for it because I’ve never bought solid gold pieces off Etsy but I have definitely seen sellers, but now that you mention it, it is a bit of strict game based on reviews.

Echoing others here about vintage! Even for vintage non-luxury brands the quality is so much better.

I also like Quince and Italic.

I love having either custom pieces or purchasing from local/friend artists and such. Custom things don’t have to cost a ton. There are lots of options even on Etsy. Less likely to toss things, more likely to fit well, and supporting small and local businesses.

I like soft fabrics. Some brands are Cuddl Duds (found best gloves by them and they have some great socks), Kyodan (clothes so soft), Zero Degrees (warm/comfy clothes), etc.

like

I love Gorjana. They have some real 14k golf pieces that are still affordable, but the okayed jewelers I will wear showering sweating etc and haven’t had too many tarnishing issues.

Sustainable/ethical brands I love
Jewelry - Ana Luisa
Bags - Angela Roi
Shoes - Bhava Studio

Feel luxury/quality but relatively affordable
Shoes - On Running/On Clouds
Athletic - Lululemon, Patagonia (I find like new on Poshmark) or on sale, Nike on sale
Jeans - Levi’s and I think they have some sustainability efforts now
Clothes - Quince but can be hit or miss

Skincare - InnBeauty Project, Versed
Makeup - Kosas, Ilia, Athr Beauty, Em Cosmetics

like

I love Cariuma sneakers!

I also love lulus.com for affordable clothing and accessories!

Yes to vintage! It depends if you want to deal with this, but I’ve gotten really into buying vintage and then getting it tailored (think trousers, a wool menswear coat, etc). The pieces themselves usually aren’t super expensive so with the tailoring it’s the price of something nice but you get a unique, super well-fitting piece.
