I’ve always loved supporting small businesses and now with my own business, Have Need Want Luxury, I am gearing up for my second Small Business Saturday. Last year I launched my new website as well as my own app. If you didn’t already know, I sell preowned and new luxury designer items from Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Hermes, Prada, Chanel, YSL, Dior, and many more! Everything is authenticated prior to listing so you can shop with confidence knowing the item you are interested in are 100% authentic and backed with a money back guarantee. We use the best technology in the business to authenticate our items.
To be ready for the gift giving season, I’m stocking up on my up-cycled pieces like LV Apple Watch bands, bag charms, Bandouliere straps, key fobs, and more. As well as working on new repurposed jewelry pieces from authentic Louis Vuitton charms, Gucci zipper pulls, Chanel charms, etc. The jewelry pieces I make all myself and I’ve partnered with two local women to help me make all the other up-cycled pieces. If you’re curious about what I mean when I say up-cycled, we take authentic materials like Louis Vuitton monogram canvas or Gucci supreme canvas from authentic pre-owned bags and use them to create new pieces. These items make fantastic gifts for yourself or someone else as they are all under $400 with most being under $100. The most recent designs that launched are my sunglasses cases, lanyards, wristlet straps, and passport covers.
Last month, I also launch my first collection of graphic tees for the luxury lover! All graphics are created by me and the shirts are made to order. So far, they’ve been selling really well on my new Etsy shop. I already have a few best selling styles like my I Speak Fluent French tee, I Speak Fluent Italian, and my GEEZ LOUIS tee. More styles to come as we get closer to the holidays!! All our tees are priced under $30 and sweatshirts range from $45-$50.
When it comes to holiday shopping I know it can be easy to shop at big box stores for holiday gifts, especially if you’re concerned about someone wanting to return or exchange what they receive, but just know that when you shop small you are supporting someone’s dream! Each and every purchase made, no matter how big or small, is important to me. I wish you all could see my excitement every time I see an order placed on my website, app, or on my Etsy shop. For those that have purchased during my live sales, you do get to see my reaction and sincere thanks. It’s because of the support from all of you that I get to continue making my passion my business. But for the reason I mentioned above as to why I understand people choose to shop big, this holiday season for small business Saturday I am offering digital gift cards that you can gift to your friends and family if you’re not sure what to get them!
As always, thank you all so much for your support!! It means the absolute world to me!!
Happy Shopping!
