These days probably also my gold rings (echappee, farandole, cdc). Worst are definitely bags 😬

I feel like it’s so hard with bags because you have to actively decide you’re ready to beat one up (that’s honestly the only way the cost per wear ever gets better). I actively decided to beat up a k25, a garden party 30, and a picotin 22 and boy they are showing their wear lol
My cashmere cardigan probably has the highest CPW. It's such an easy layering piece in the winter and shoulder seasons, especially for those plane rides that are always freezing. Next highest would be my Kelly bracelet.
Thanks for reviving this thread @Meta. Another vote of Carré 90 when it comes to cost per wear. You never know when you will need one....even providing protection in a heatwave here in the South of France!

My best CPW (according to my tracking app) is my Tyger, Tyger! Shawl. Two big factors: I purchased it preloved at a 40% discount AND it's my go-to shawl to pack for trips as a warm layer or way to jazz up a plain outfit--the cw is dark, so I'm less worried about getting it dirty, and it goes with much of my wardrobe.
I've also been carrying the same barenia faubourg/ rose d'ete Calvi for 4+ years. My most used cards are in another wallet (the calvi mostly carries membership cards and less used credit cards), but it's still been a faithful addition to my purse daily, so I guess *technically* it's probably the best CPW.

I use Stylebook for my entire wardrobe. It took some intensive time to take photos/catalog everything (I did it as I was doing a massive closet cleanout, so it was a bit "two birds, one stone"), but now it takes only a few seconds to note what I'm wearing on any given day.
Evelyne GM in the color biscuit. Definitely my most used bag since 2021. 
RTW…. My cotton white T. Sadly stolen from my hotel room last weekend. I have worn that many times. It is time to get a new one.
Bag…. My Mini Jypsiere. I hate the strap. But that means I don’t care if I ruin it. So I take it everywhere.
Scarf…. There are a few that I wear a lot more than others.
I wear my fine jewelry daily. So those have good cost per wear.

My Silkin wallet. I was hesitant to get one thinking the silk would be fragile. That was - can’t remember exactly how long ago, but it’s been years and it’s still going strong despite being used daily. Barely any sign of wear.
My 2 chain d’ancre bracelet that I wear everyday and have done so for over 10 years
Just re-visiting my 2-3 year old CPW assessment:
1 Still using my black Evie 29 almost every day
2. Rg Chain d'Ancre earrings in my ears today
3. Haven't worn a CDC for a while. I think I've used my Ombre Lizard phw Hinge bangle more over the last year
4. Calvis still daily
5. Reversible pure wool Rocabar (Newmarket) blanket still on my bed.
6. Still wearing a silk carré almost daily.
