With these helpful tips and tricks, you can make the exchange rate your best mate, instead of the doom of your fashion fate.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Weak Rands Mean Less Grands<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-45419\" src=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Birkin-bags.jpg\" alt=\"Weak Rands Mean Less Grands\" width=\"1024\" height=\"513\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In January 2020, the South African exchange rate was R14 to the US Dollar, as of late April 2020 it sits at nearly R19 to the dollar and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fin24.com\/Economy\/explainer-why-you-should-care-about-the-rand-dollar-exchange-rate-20200404\">some analysts<\/a> are warning that, due to the catastrophic impact of the coronavirus on the economy, it could breach the R20\/$ mark in the near future.<\/p>\n<p>This means that buying a $10,000 &#8211; $50,000 Birkin bag from <a href=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/product-category\/hermes\">Herm\u00e8s<\/a> would cost around R200,000 &#8211; R1 million. While designer handbags are meant to be status symbols of wealth, it never hurts to hunt down a bargain that can save you few bucks. Hence we can say that now is the best time to be on the lookout for <a href=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/lock-down-load\/\">great deals and discounts<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Lockdown Locks Up Luxury<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-45420\" src=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Louis-Vuitton-Flagship-Store.jpg\" alt=\"Lockdown Locks Up Luxury\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/p>\n<p>South Africa\u2019s weakened exchange rate is largely owed to the global coronavirus pandemic and the nation-wide lockdown\u2019s negative impact on our economy and international trade. Another major contributor to the weakened exchange rate is Moody&#8217;s downgrading SA to junk status in late March 2020.<\/p>\n<p>South African businesses are struggling to succeed with their storefronts closed and revenue streams restricted by the rules and regulations imposed by COVID-19\u2019s lockdown. Even international brands like <a href=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/product-category\/louis-vuitton\">Louis Vuitton<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/product-category\/burberry\">Burberry<\/a> have to abide by lockdown laws and lock up their local brick-and-mortar stores.<\/p>\n<p>So how can you update your look during <a href=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/top-3-activities-during-lockdown\/\">lockdown<\/a>? While the sale of \u201cnon-essentials\u201d is restricted and your favourite designer flagship stores are closed, you can still get your daily dose of retail therapy \u2013 digitally of course! Online retailers like <a href=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/\">Luxity<\/a> are still operating online during lockdown and can offer an \u201coutlet\u201d for your pent-up designer cravings.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Dollar That Makes You Holla<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-45421\" src=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Louboutin-Heels-and-Chanel-Handbag.jpg\" alt=\"The Dollar That Makes You Holla\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When it comes to making a good long-term investment in luxury goods, it\u2019s important to invest in high-quality items made by designer brands with the best resale values, like <a href=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/product-category\/louboutin\">Christian Louboutin<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/product-category\/gucci\">Gucci<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/product-category\/chanel\">Chanel<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Buying luxury goods from these brands is a good investment because they often appreciate in value over time, so when the time comes to update your look, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/sell-to-us\">sell your luxury beauties<\/a> for a profit and then re-invest that back into your closet. Investing in timeless luxury items is also a lot more fun than playing the risky stock market \u2013 and it doesn\u2019t hurt that you look like a stylish millionaire, while you\u2019re making your stacks.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Second-hand Saves The World &amp; Your Wallet<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-45422\" src=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Prada-Handbag.jpg\" alt=\"Second-hand Saves The World &amp; Your Wallet\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/pre-loved-fashion-saving-planet\/\">pre-owned fashion<\/a> industry is not just a more sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to buying <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2018\/03\/27\/business\/hm-clothes-stock-sales.html\">fast fashion from retailers like H&amp;M<\/a>, who burn billions of dollars-worth of inventory at the end of every season.<\/p>\n<p>Buying pre-owned luxury goods from trustworthy resellers also allows you to buy authentic designer goods for a fraction of their retail value. While the rand is weak against other currencies, buying your luxury goods with local currency from a local provider isn\u2019t nearly as dependent on the fluctuating exchange rate.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Local Really Is Lekker<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-45423\" src=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Chanel-Flap-Bag.jpg\" alt=\"Local Really Is Lekker\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A weaker rand increases the cost of imported products, so importing luxury goods from overseas is more expensive now than ever. The exchange rate of the weak rand to dollar makes each imported product even more expensive than usual.<\/p>\n<p>Not to mention the additional costs, like shipping, which can be outrageously overpriced, especially if you want to ensure it gets transported without being damaged. Then on top of all of that, customs will then charge a percentage of the value of that product, and that percentage can be as high as 45% for certain luxury goods.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ve heard that buying local is lekker! This is because supporting local businesses actually makes SA\u2019s economy and currency stronger. Take Luxity for instance, they strictly source from local sellers and pass this benefit onto the end consumer by charging less than purchasing internationally would. Buying locally won\u2019t just help the rand recover, it will save you mountains of money. Supporting local businesses means you don\u2019t have to worry about the exchange rate, shipping costs or import duties.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Locally Sourced, But Make It (Imported) Fashion<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-45424\" src=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Louboutin-Stilettos-and-Designer-Handbag.jpg\" alt=\"Locally Sourced, But Make It (Imported) Fashion\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Buying your luxury goods locally doesn\u2019t mean you have to forget about your favourite international brands either!
