From Chuck Taylors to the Birkin, 7 Classic Accessories That Look Better With Age

Just like George Clooney, or fine wines, there plenty of things in life that get better with age. For instance, certain accessories.

After all, a little scuff mark never hurt anything—in fact, sometimes it’s the best thing that could happen to an accessory. Here, see seven closet staples that will last—and look good—for a lifetime and beyond.
