“Reebonz is about transporting you into a world of pleasant surprises − a place where discounted luxury is not an oxymoron. We bring you straight into the world of private sales, with exclusive members only deals.” – Reebonz.com

It’s definitely not an oxymoron- discounted luxury is just smart shopping. There are merits to paying full dollar though, chiefly, the opportunity to own something that everyone desires. Discounted or not, I can personally attest to the fact that well made luxury products tend to be timeless and crafted to withstand the tests of time (I own a 20 year old LV holdall hand-me-down). What Reebonz offers is the value proposition that you too can own a slice of the finer life.

The trick is to pick wheat from the chaff; which among the multitudes of trendy products is actually a timeless luxe investment?

Luxe Investment: The Best Buys from Reebonz

Gucci Holdall

Gucci Holdall The House of Gucci (that’s their full-name) is a 90 year old stalwart of the luxury industry. Their signature holdall should be an integral portion of your sartorial arsenal. Why? Beyond the obvious clean lines and the subtle “web” double G monograms across the bag, the holdall is extremely gender neutral. A woman or man could carry this Gucci holdall and not look out of place. Whether side slung on in hand, the holdall is versatile- matching the gamut of casual jeans Friday to corporate look Monday.

Gucci cardholder

Gucci cardholder Let me put it this way, thick cardholders and wallets died with Miami Vice blazers and primary colours. The Gucci cardholder is a very elegant way of holding all your credit and membership cards in one highly portable fashion. Stylistically it’s both timeless and like its holdall cousin, gender neutral. Whether you’re slipping this in your inner blazer pocket or into a dinner clutch, purse or handbag; this cardholder will only look better with time as the leather ages. As with high quality luxury leather products, the material takes on a unique patina that is as distinctive as wine vintage. Eventually, you own a piece of luxe that’s yours and yours alone and that’s worth every single cent.

Prada card holder

Prada Cardholder No story about luxury would ever be complete without Prada; heck, even the world’s most famous fictional Fashion magazine editor Miranda Priestly wears Prada. Though it hasn’t had the Days of our Lives style family drama that has plagued many multi-billion dollar businesses, Prada is very much a genuine status symbol. Even if you can’t afford any of their other products, their simple cardholder with applied polished silver Prada logo is enough to carry the panache and weight required at any evening event. Held casually in hand during evening drinks or proffered with purpose during a boardroom introduction, the Prada cardholder is an indispensable tool for either holding your namecards or your plastic money. Even when peeping through your fingers at the cashier counter, the instantly recognisable  serifed fonts are a symbol that says, “you know luxury”.
