Sometimes it\u2019s hard to know what\u2019s worth investing in and what\u2019s worth paying a more reasonable price for. That\u2019s why I\u2019m writing a series of investment piece articles where I share what I believe are the best wardrobe pieces to invest in. I’ve already shared my ideas for French wardrobe investment pieces<\/a> as well as smart French handbag investments<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal of investment pieces is to acquire wardrobe items that are high quality, durable, and make us happy. A lot of people look for investment pieces that \u2018hold their value\u2019 but for me personally, this isn\u2019t a requirement, but rather a plus. I just want pieces that will last a long time and that I\u2019ll be excited to pass down to my daughter or granddaughter one day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

French Investment Accessories<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Today I want to focus on French investment scarves, watches, hats, and more that are worth buying. Here are the French investment accessories that I am dying to get my hands on! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Herm\u00e8s Scarf<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The first and most important French investment accessory is a silk scarf by Herm\u00e8s<\/a>. These scarves have been coveted by Parisians and women around the world for decades. The Herm\u00e8s carr\u00e9<\/em> scarf was originally introduced by Robert Dumas, \u00c9mile Herm\u00e8s\u2019 son-in-law, in 1937. The square scarf is typically bought in a 65 x 65 cm square size and the Herm\u00e8s orange color is most desirable.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

At the end of World War I, Louis Cartier took inspiration for his next creation from a somewhat bizarre source: a combat vehicle. In 1917, the Tank Watch was born \u2013 a rectangular watch featuring parallel brancard sides. Despite its design origins from WWI battlefields, the Cartier Tank Watch became a symbol of understated elegance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The watch was soon spotted on the wrist of beloved American First Lady Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy. Jackie’s timepiece was gold framed with a black lizard strap. The Tank Louis Cartier watch<\/a> is the closest in appearance to the one she owned.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Black Evening Clutch<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Evening wear is always a great idea for investment and a clutch is a great start. I\u2019m eyeing the Roger Vivier pochette <\/em>with crystal embellishments for my next evening bag<\/a> purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
