Life Hacks Every Woman Should Have On Her Speed Dial

Living life luxuriously often takes a village to orchestrate – even for the most deft, multitasking, multi-hyphenates of the world. From closet curators and luxury concierges to an aromatherapist and event extraordinaire, these are the brands and businesses to keep just one call or click, away.

ELITE SHOPPERS

With new fashion seasons come new items to covet. But what if what you want is past season, a limited edition or vintage – be it from way back when Tom Ford helmed Gucci or Karl Lagerfeld’s final touches from Chanel? The Fifth Collection (above) has the treasure trove for you. Boasting years of luxury goods expertise and Entrupy – the world’s most advanced authentication technology – on its side, this vintage and pre-loved designer fashion consignment platform sets new standards in curated, intelligent luxury. From a Special Order Porosus Birkin 30 to a vintage Yves Saint Laurent structured shoulder jacket, its pieces are sourced from some of the most precious collections and resellers worldwide, expertly authenticated in Singapore, and then delivered to the client’s doorstep anywhere across the globe. If you are seeking ultra-rarefied items from exclusive vaults, however, Mayfair Chan is the luxury concierge with the keys to find, acquire and handle your precious cargo. Fine timepieces and haute joaillerie are its speciality, but this private concierge company promises to find “anything you require”, mainly for multimillionaires and billionaires. For other items that you want to shop from the US but can’t seem to get your hands on, there is The Luxe Link. Priding itself as a cross-border, luxury shopping concierge, it provides e-shoppers with access to online and traditional retailers in the US, even for those hard-to-get items, with the help of a specialised, personal shopper.
