How to Choose the Best Designer Key Holder
Brand
There are certain designer brands that are known and praised for their quality. So you should consider them when choosing the best designer key holder.
When someone thinks of a designer brand, companies like Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Christian Louboutin, or Off-White immediately come to mind. They come to mind because they have a reputation for selling good products.
Material
The high cost of designer key holders will seem worth it due to the quality of material used. If you’re more active or relaxed with your keys, consider purchasing a more durable material like leather that’s easier to keep clean or fresh.
Style
Designer key holders come in styles that suit anyone’s taste. There are sleek, modern options that feature a solid color and polished texture.
On the other hand, bold graphics and colors are also sold. Some designer brands stick to the basics and their signature style, like Louis Vuitton’s classic LV stamp pattern or Versace’s baroque print.
Size
The designer key holder is all about convenience. They have one purpose: to make carrying your keys around easier and more organized.
The smaller the designer key holder, the easier it is to carry around in your hand. Also, if it’s smaller in size, it won’t take up space in your purse or bags.
Some may even be small enough to fit in your pocket. If you want to make a statement, however, large designer key holders may grab some more attention.
Price
Since you’re shopping for a designer key holder, I’m sure you already expect the prices to be more expensive. Typically, the brand names will charge about $150 – $300 for the accessory.
If you want a designer key holder but at a discounted price, check out stores like Nordstrom Rack. They sell designer brands’ past seasonal items at a more friendly price.
How to Style a Designer Key Holder
Learning how to style a designer key holder is for fashion lovers on every level. Most key holders are designed to be neutral—the dark or lighter hues can simply be styled with any outfit.
Whether it be a dress for a special occasion or a casual hoodie and leggings combo, the designer key holder can elevate any look. If you’d like both you and your keys to look glam, some styling ideas are:
- Matching your key holder to a necklace or earrings, brown accessories and gold jewelry is a personal favorite
- Adding fun key chains is a way to dress-up your key holder. If it doesn’t fit the vibe for the night then they’re easy to remove!
- Pay attention to your closet before purchasing a designer key holder. Become aware of which colors you wear most, because this will determine the type of key holder you should purchase
How to style a designer key holder is versatile and can suit any personal flair. So don’t be intimidated—consider it an add-on to what you’ve already got working for you.
This sleek black Louis Vuitton key holder will pair perfectly with any outfit. The leather material makes an edgy statement. Plus, the styling of the leopard print shoe shows how the key holder can compliment a statement piece.
This is a softer take on the designer key holder trend. This gentle, white Louis Vuitton checkered pattern is another example of how neutral tones can accessorize well with any outfit.
The outfit, consisting of pale pinks and bright whites, makes a cohesive look with the lighter-toned key holder.
FAQs
How do you put a key in a key holder?
First, look for the opening clasps on your key holder. If you want your keys in a specific sequence, make sure you know which ones you’re going to put on the designer key holder first.
Pull open the key ring just wide enough to slide the key through. You may need to squeeze your nail or a small item in the clasp to keep it open.
Finally, push the opening at the top of the key through the coil. Keep spinning the coil until the clasp is closed and the key is dangling off your new designer key holder. There you have it—now your keys look almost as stylish as you!
What is the most expensive designer key holder?
The most expensive designer key holders are sold by the expensive designer brands. Brands like Fendi, Bottega, or Gucci are examples of companies that have higher prices for the clothes, accessories, or shoes they sell.
Based on our list, Christian Louboutin and Off-White are the most expensive options for designer key holders, costing just under $500.
Both companies’ designer key holders were made in Italy, a country known for its high-quality materials and respected by the fashion world.
How do you open an LV key holder?
Louis Vuitton’s newest designer key holder features a pouch with clips to hold up to six keys. This Louis Vuitton key holder is masterfully crafted and has different instructions to put your keys on it smoothly.
First, push the button on the right end of the bar at the top of the key holder. Once it’s undone, slide the bar out. From there, you’ll be able to lift each individual hook out of the bar.
To get a key on the hook, open up the clasp and push the key inside. Again, you may need some strength from your nails or a small item to keep the clasp open.
Once the key is on, place the hook back on the bar. Then slide the bar back into its spot at the top of the designer key holder. You’ll hear a click, which is letting you know your bar is secure and your keys aren’t going anywhere!
