The Luxury List is a monthly column on all things luxury, exploring cult items from heritage brands, tapping the foremost experts in the fashion space, and doing deep dives into the investment pieces that are worth it.

With a monthly column dedicated to luxury fashion, I’m constantly studying the latest drops from brands and speaking with the leading experts on luxury design and shopping—covering everything from the top quiet-luxury bags to the cool It-girl watches to know to the most talked-about trends for summer. Plus, every new designer piece worth adding to your cart.

I’ve noticed that prices of luxury pieces have continued to climb in the last year—with many designer bags now priced over $5,000 and higher—so I wanted to shine a light on the best finds under $1000 to have on your radar. From the buzzy Bottega Veneta statement earrings that continue to sell out to the Chanel shoes taking over for summer to the minimal Toteme bag that fashion people can’t get enough of, these are the finds to invest in now. Ahead, the 35 best designer shopping finds under $1000.
