Bags Worth Investing Right Now

When it comes to investing in a luxury handbag, it’s obviously important to find a style that you truly love. Because you have spent quite a lot of money and this can be an investment. It’s just as important to educate yourself on which handbags will hold value and never go out of style. Exclusive Birkins, for example, are expected to double in value in the next 10 years. But that’s not the only bag worth picking up. Of course you have to buy a bag that is worth your money. While the value of luxury handbags can fluctuate due to trends, iconic brands in certain styles have the most resale value. So, don’t waste your money! Here are the top bags you should consider buying.

1. Hermes Birkins

Hermès resale value depends on style, leather type and hardware. The power behind the Hermès brand is due to its limited number. This creates a level of scarcity and exclusivity that no other brand has ever achieved. While there is no Hermès waiting list, there is a certain waiting period for your dream Birkin or Kelly depending on your relationship with your Hermès salesperson, the amount spent at Hermès over a period of time, and pure luck.

The Birkin in particular is the most sought-after handbag. In the hands of celebrities including Victoria Beckham, Alessandra Ambrosio, Kate Moss, and the entire Kardashian-Jenner clan, these bags have risen in popularity exponentially. The passion for Birkins extends beyond both retail and resale. Retail prices for Birkin bags range from $9,000 to $150,000 and could see resale prices up to $223,000.
