The holidays have come and gone, and unfortunately, Santa didn’t deliver everything on my list this year (does he ever?), but where Santa fails, the pre-loved market always delivers. If you’re picky like me, you probably have at least one family member who never knows what to get you and ends up stuffing a wad of cash in your stocking, leaving you with some extra holiday money to spend. It’s also probable that, like me, you have a constant wishlist of things you’re eyeing and (hopefully) buying.
Below, I’ve rounded up the five things I’d love to buy with my holiday money (and then some).
My Holy Grail
A surprise to absolutely no one, the pre-loved item at the top of my wishlist is the Hermès Picotin, specifically the Cargo version. At least once a week, I check Fashionphile’s offerings and try to play a game of seller’s Tetris to figure out what I could sell to snag one. While my ultimate, lifetime holy grail will forever be a Vintage Hermès Kelly 28 in Burgundy Box Leather, my current, more attainable HG is the Picotin.

The Multi-Purpose Pouch
I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it a thousand times, the document pouch is one of the surest ways to look both effortlessly chic and undeniably cool at the same time. It’s also one of those sneak-smart investment pieces because you can use it on its own, for travel, or to keep things organized when you’re using a bigger bag.
The Rare Vintage Find
While the rest of the handbag world is completely obsessed with Multicolore Monogram, I’ve got my eye on some of Murakami’s later collabs, like the Cerise collection, which is rumored to return in Chapter 2 of LV x TK.
The Must-Have Accessory
Last year, for Christmas, our friends at Dior gifted me a Dior Caro Zodiac printed card case that I’ve used nearly every day since I got it! It was the thing I didn’t know I needed, as it not only fits in all of my bags but is so pretty it makes me happy whenever I pull it out. It’s by far my most-used accessory, which is why it makes sense to add another to my rotation, and no one does prints like Dior!
The It-Bag
I was surprised to see a few Margaux bags pop up on Fashionphile. While this It-bag is not at the top of my wishlist, I know many of you are still after it, so I had to include it on this list. If Santa wasn’t able to snag one for you in time to sit under the tree, that holiday money will go to good use!
I took advantage of their year-end 10% discount on sale time items to score my first Hermes handbag. FP never disappoints.
Oooo what did you get?!
congrats!!
