Receipts: 13 Things Luxury Designer Brandon Blackwood Won’t Stop Buying

Our team is dedicated to finding and telling you more about the web’s best products. If you purchase through our links, we may receive a commission. Our editorial team is independent and only endorses products we believe in.

With brands sending free stuff to the microest of influencers, we decided it’s high time for a roundup series that includes exclusively products that have been purchased and loved outright by people you know, people you follow, and people you’ve  definitely heard of. Think of Receipts as fun-things-only money diaries.

When you see someone wearing a Brandon Blackwood bag or knee-high boots, you immediately know they’re a cool girl, whether it’s Ciara on a red carpet, Emily Blunt on set for The Devil Wears Prada 2, or Lindsay Lohan making her rounds on a press tour. Just like the pieces he creates, the luxury designer himself embodies that same air of style.

Being a founder, especially in fashion, has changed how he shops, while making his eye for quality even sharper. "I notice details now that I might’ve missed before starting my own line. I’ll literally flip a bag inside out to check the lining or hardware. It’s kind of ruined impulse shopping for me in the best way. I shop slower now, but I appreciate everything more," Blackwood adds.

In this edition of Receipts, the Brooklyn-based designer reveals which items he's been using for years, fragrances he finds irresistible, and home renovation must-haves for a re-up with taste. Read on for Blackwood’s 13 picks.

“I’m currently doing a gut renovation on a brownstone in Brooklyn. I’ve been taking on the design job myself and have been sourcing all of my own materials. Zia Tiles has one of the best offerings of indoor and outdoor tiles. They’re not the cheapest, but they’re worth every cent. From cantera, marble, to zellige tiles, they have each in the most beautiful colors. If you have a home project, I wouldn’t go anywhere else.”

“I don’t eat solid breakfast (I know… very L.A. of me). I like my first meal to be a nutrient dense smoothie, and nothing has come close to my Vitamix blender. It has no issues, is well made, and makes my smoothies perfectly every morning. My day starts with the buzzing of this blender, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
