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 JW Anderson, Dries Van Noten, 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 tide you over until you're earning enough to splash out on the track jacket.
Below, we've curated a selection of some of our favorite designer keychains available right now. Included in our picks, you'll see options from high-end streetwear as well as more classics keychain from long-standing fashion houses.
