Every luxury brand is keeping up with the times, even if it means looking back. From recently revived classic bags from the likes of Dior and Fendi to referencing logos of the past like Celine has done, Chanel is no different either. Case in point, these very vintage-looking brooches that are part of its current Pre-Spring 2019 collection. From woven leather creations to those adorned with pearls, it’s certainly an ode to the time when shoulder pads were visible and hair was big.

Priced between SGD550 and SGD990 for the selection above, prices aren’t far off from actual vintage pieces either, since Chanel has always held its value pretty well over the years. And since you will be hard-pressed to find a vintage piece in pristine condition without any issues (loose pins, tarnished edges, missing embellishments), you could be better off getting a new brooch from Chanel now. All of which are available in boutiques here, by the way. #anyexcusetoshop
