Quick answer: Not every designer bag holds value. These are the lines treated as “assets” on the resale market.
Buying a bag as an investment? Some lines hold value superbly and even appreciate over time.
Hermès Birkin & Kelly
The kings of value retention. Limited supply plus high demand push many models up on the secondary market.
Chanel Classic Flap
Steady retail increases lift resale prices too. Caviar leather and core colours (black, beige) hold best.
Louis Vuitton canvas
Monogram-canvas Neverfull and Speedy are durable and liquid, though value retention is moderate.
What affects price
Condition, complete box/papers, colour and rarity determine resale value. Kept well = sells well.
