Though it may seem a small thing, of all your accessories, keychains are likely to get the most air time — which is why, cost-per-wear, it might just be one of the smartest luxe investments you can make. And though many of us associate a keychain with tourist store tat, opting for a high-quality option is a clever, relatively inexpensive way to flaunt your favorite label.

As luxury fashion houses continue to expand their offering, you can count on the likes of Acne Studios, Bottega Veneta, and Maison Margiela to come through in this small but flex-friendly department. And for those of you who are more accustomed to window shopping from your favorite luxury brands, these pieces tend to be among the least expensive items in designer collections — so that Balenciaga keychain will keep you covered, if even only metaphorically, until you're earning enough to splash out on the actual parka.

Below, we've curated a selection of some of our favorite designer keychains. Included in our picks, you'll see options from high-end streetwear as well as from long-standing fashion houses.

Mocler Red Vest Keyring

MonclerVest Keyring
$300
Buy at Slam Jam IT

Seeing as we're transitioning from colder to warmer weather, it only makes sense that we'd wear a vest rather than a full jacket. Now, whether or not it makes sense for your key to wear one, too, is up for debate – gotta admit, it's pretty darn cute though.

Saint Laurent Surf Board

Saint LaurentSurf Logo Keychain
$325
Buy at Luisaviaroma

After a cool spring comes a hot summer. And where do we go in summers? The beach. What do we do there? We surf! Well, not all of us, but maybe this little on-theme trinket'll help us keep an island state of mind as we weather our inner-city jobs.

Acne Studios Coin Wallet & Mirror

Acne StudiosCoin Wallet & Bow Mirror
$500
Buy at Acne Studios

Perhaps more practical for the latter then would be this Acne Studios piece. One might argue this already counts as a proper accessory, but we find it just short of deeming it a real wallet or bag. Whatever your definition of either, this'll do more than open your door.

Burberry Backpack Charm

BurberryCheck Backpack Charm
$350
Buy at Burberry

Though you can zip it open and thereby technically use it for storage, we're not even sure the key you'd hang this on would fit into this tiny backpack. It's adorable nonetheless, and we're sure you can come up with something or another to keep safe within this faux – but, then again, not actually faux – accessory.

Maison Margiela Micro Handbag

Maison MargielaBlack Leather Keychain
$550
Buy at ssense

Now this really pushes the limit. Unlike its predecessor on this list, we're not sure you can actually use this bag. It is so petite and yet so detailed though that we couldn't help but include it for its irresistible proportions.

Bottega Veneta Braided Lambskin Keychain

Bottega VenetaOrange Lambskin Keychain
$390
Buy at ssense

Coming from a brand that's arguably even better known for their handbags than the former, Bottega Veneta's key chain makes surprisingly little fuss about what it is and what it isn't. This key chain – no more, no less – manages to feature two of the house's signature traits: a triangular carabiner, as well as a braided leather ornament.

Vivienne Westwood Multicolor 3D Orb

Vivienne WestwoodIridescent Iron Keychain
$120
Buy at ssense

A bright multicolor coating and leather tag contrast everything else in your bag. So, with this Vivienne Westwood keyring, it'll never take you too long to find what you're looking for.

Rick Owens Triple Ended Keychain

Rick OwensMetal Key Chain
$580
Buy at tres bien

There is a quiet luxury amongst the key chains, too, but who would've thought it'd come from the Lord of Darkness of all people? In Rick Owens' iteration, the devil's in the detail: upon second glance, you'll notice it is a triple-ended carabiner, and thus an on-brand anomaly of an object.

Y/Project Mini Fuck U Keychain

Y/ProjectSilver Mini Fuck U Keychain
$240
Buy at ssense

Quiet on the branding side, but certainly not in sentiment, Y/Project's lock-opening-accessory flips the bird at whomever looks straight at it. Be careful whom you give this to when you need someone to access your apartment and water your plants while on vacation.

AMBUSH Logo Lighter Keychain

AMBUSHLogo Lighter Keychain
$105
Buy at Farfetch

The days of losing your lighter and asking every soul in the smoking area for one are over. Store yours in this gold keychain from AMBUSH to always keep hold of it. Plus, when someone inevitably asks you for a lighter you have a great conversation starter.

Balenciaga Windbreaker Ripstop Key Ring

BalenciagaWindbreaker Ripstop Key Ring
$350
Buy at Farfetch

We would all love a Balenciaga coat but they retail for a considerably more than this fun little keyring.
