designer items

Branded luxury products

Designer items are products—typically clothing, accessories, or home goods—created by or bearing the brand of a prestigious fashion house or well-known designer.

The term emphasizes exclusivity, high price, and status: She filled her closet with designer items.

The appeal lies partly in quality craftsmanship, partly in the social cachet of recognizable labels.

Knockoffs imitate designer items at lower prices.
