If you want to experience luxury brands, but have an entry level budget, there are options.\u00a0 You have to be somewhat realistic.\u00a0 For example, you are never going to get a Herm\u00e8s Birkin bag without a lot of money and some luck. You are also not going to be able to get a six-figure watch with a three-figure budget and luxury brands aren\u2019t likely to have sales.\u00a0 But that doesn\u2019t mean that you can\u2019t start your collection with something that you will treasure or find that special gift without spending thousands of dollars.\u00a0 These luxury items are still costly, but with proper care, they can last for a lifetime. Here are some of our favourites:<\/p>\n

Tiffany & Co.: Tiffany HardWear Double Pearl Ring in Sterling Silver<\/h2>\n

We love the clean, sophisticated style of this ring.\u00a0 Pearls are classic, but the design is modern.\u00a0 This is an easy to wear ring that is more unique than the \u201cReturn to Tiffany\u201d and Tiffany T collections that we all love.\u00a0 It is for the woman who likes to know the brand that she is wearing, but wants others to guess.<\/p>\n

Cartier: Guirlande De Cartier Small Leather Goods, Multi-Card Holder With Flap<\/h2>\n

Purses are getting smaller and many of us don\u2019t carry cash anymore.\u00a0 The Guirlande De Cartier card holder in red calfskin has the same red and gold design of the gorgeous jewelry boxes that Cartier is known for.\u00a0 It is a more affordable way to enjoy the brand\u2019s heritage and still have something that you will use for years to come.<\/p>\n

Herm\u00e8s: Le Tresor de Medor Scarf 90<\/h2>\n

A Herm\u00e8s scarf is a wardrobe classic.\u00a0 You can buy a nano scarf for $145, but you can only wear it on your wrist, ankle or as a small purse accessory.\u00a0 This black and white scarf is large enough to have impact and is multi-purpose.\u00a0 Wear it to complete an outfit, as a hair accessory or to add drama to a tote.\u00a0 This particular design is muted enough to be classic and based on a composition from 1923.\u00a0 According to the website, \u201cdog collars are carefully arranged according to size or symmetry\u201d on the scarf.\u00a0 It is the ideal starter for any capsule wardrobe.<\/p>\n

Burberry: The Classic Check Cashmere Scarf<\/h2>\n

A silk scarf is beautiful, but you also need a scarf that will keep you warm in the winter.\u00a0 Burberry\u2019s cashmere scarves are soft, cozy and durable.\u00a0 They do need to be dry-cleaned, but again, with proper care, they will look as beautiful as the day that you bought them.\u00a0 They come in a variety of colours and styles.\u00a0 The classic check in archive beige goes with everything.\u00a0 You can even personalize the scarf with initials.<\/p>\n

Gucci: Leather Belt with Double G Buckle<\/h2>\n

The Double G belt is very popular right now and can be worn at the waist or hips.\u00a0 It is made in Italy with leather and antique brass hardware.\u00a0 We love that it is trendy, but still classic enough to be a good investment.\u00a0 The brown leather works with everything from denim to boho dresses.<\/p>\n
