We all love to treat ourselves now and again, whether it\u2019s to a new suit, a handbag or a stylish new watch. A statement piece makes us feel good about ourselves \u2013 and it\u2019s scientifically proven too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we treat ourselves, dopamine (the feel-good hormone that makes us feel like we can fly like Superman<\/em>) is released in the brain, boosts our mood and improves mental health, which can only be a good thing, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And because the United Kingdom loves its luxury brands, we\u2019ve compiled a list of our favourite UK designer brands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Burberry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n


Let\u2019s start with a classic UK designer brand, Burberry. Established way back in 1856, Burberry is now one of the top fashion brands in the UK for men, women and children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although famous for its high-end trench coats, Burberry is also one of the most sought-after brands for shoes, swimwear, leisurewear, bags, sunglasses, cosmetics, and a whole lot more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But maybe what you\u2019ll recognise Burberry for most is their tartan-check pattern that has become their trademark \u2014 a trademark every fashionista wants to be seen with around town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re looking for a chic London look, Burberry is the way to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Born in Lewisham, London, Alexander McQueen has taken his artistic fashion creations from the UK capital to the world. And his designs are instantly recognisable as they almost always incorporate his trademark skull motif, whether on clothing, handbags or belt buckles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their range of trainers (sneakers) is massively popular, with a pair costing between \u00a3400 and \u00a3600 ($500 \u2013 $750).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pricey?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sure, but they\u2019re crafted using only the most exquisite, luxurious materials, including calfskin, so they\u2019re worth every penny. If sneakers aren\u2019t your thing, why not treat yourself to a coat, jacket, scarf or eye-catching piece of jewellery from one of the premier UK designer brands?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ah, go on, treat yourself!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Stella McCartney<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Stella McCartney is a pioneer of the UK designer fashion scene. Known for her \u201cvegan style<\/em>\u201d, the whole Stella McCartney range is made from non-violent and, where possible, sustainable materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Absolutely no animal skins or products are used. This is a massive plus, with more and more consumers moving away from animal testing and cruelty products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her range is aimed across the board, so there\u2019s something for men, women and children. So, whether you\u2019re a lady looking for cool wedges, jackets, lingerie or bags. A guy looking for something a little tailored. Or if you just want to treat the kids to some new summer wear, Stella McCartney has something for the whole family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A brand that\u2019s gone from strength to strength, unlike her father, who went from writing songs like Yesterday in The Beatles to We All Stand Together – y\u2019know, the one with the frogs *shudder*<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Louis Vuitton<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is the first designer on our list that isn\u2019t an actual UK brand, but that doesn\u2019t matter; it\u2019s still one of the most popular in the UK. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Louis Vuitton is one of the most recognisable brands on the market. And it\u2019s almost impossible to go for a night out or a holiday without seeing the famous LV logo emblazoned across bags and suitcases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But they\u2019re more than just a \u2018bag\u2019 company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019re also leaders in high-end jewellery, watches, wallets, clothing and footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ozwald Boateng opened his first store in London\u2019s Savile Row at the tender age of 28 and has since become one of the most renowned names in the men\u2019s fashion industry. So much so that, in 2003, he was named creative director of Givenchy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brand is credited with revolutionising the male silhouette through modern bespoke tailoring. Each shirt, pocket square, tie, and scarf is a statement piece to make the wearer feel cool and original.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And considering Ozwald Boateng has cut gorgeous suits for Mick Jagger, David Bowie, Jude Law and Robbie Williams, it\u2019s not hard to see why this is one of the top UK designer brands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Prada<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Prada\u2019s signature style is modern, classic and a little \u201coutside the box<\/em>\u201d, which can sometimes be slightly eccentric. However, from their hats, sunglasses and clothing to their shoes and handbags, they always draw on their northern Italian tradition of elegance and quality craftsmanship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prada handbags are their bestsellers and with good cause. Made from quality leather and durable synthetics, they last for years and never go out of fashion. But it\u2019s not just a design brand for women. Prada is one of the top men\u2019s designer brands too, with plenty to choose from, including hats, jackets, cardholders and shoes \u2014 all made to Prada\u2019s exquisite standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reason enough for Prada to make the top 10 of any designer brands list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3 tips for buying top designer brands available in the UK<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re looking to buy designer goods, here are the most important things to consider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n


<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Quality over quantity

<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The quality of designer wear means they last much longer than cheaper alternatives. Although you pay more initially, you save money on four or five replacements of an inferior product in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Designer brands are also much sought after, making their resale value extremely high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Save for luxury items

<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Spending big gives you a buzz, but make sure you don\u2019t leave yourself out of pocket. There\u2019s no sense in getting into debt for a new watch or necklace, so save before splashing the cash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, saving makes a purchase feel that little bit more special anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Look for sales

<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even designer brands have sales, so if you\u2019re looking for something swish, look for Black Friday, Christmas or January deals. Or find out if your favourite designer brand has sales at different times of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holding out for sales can save you money on something you\u2019ll cherish for years to come.
A lot of the above have sales or clearance pages, so pick up something amazing at a fraction of the price, you savvy buyer you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
