And while a designer handbag is considered a luxury item, it’s also convenient, functional, stylish, and worth the money.

We recently published our Fall 2021 Trends Report, and as of November 2021, Louis Vuitton is our top-selling brand, followed by Hermés, Chanel, Gucci and Dior. But do you know what’s driving all these numbers? These accessories are all exquisite, expertly crafted, expensive, and highly coveted on the resale marketplace.

As one of the world’s most easily recognizable and valuable luxury brands, its exquisite collection of products includes leather goods, handbags, jewelry, clothing, shoes, watches and accessories that are often adorned with the LV monogram.

Driven by the sales of the Louis Vuitton Speedy, the Neverfull Tote, the Alma, and the Twist, Louis Vuitton is a brand that appreciates in value over time, and if you’ve got an item in excellent condition, you can earn back most of your investment.

CHANEL

Did you know a Chanel handbag might be a better investment than the stock market or crypto? Over the past 10 years, the value of Chanel Classic Flap bags and the 2.55 have more than doubled, and despite the price increases, demand for the Classic Flap Bag, the Boy Bag, and the Re-Issue is stronger than ever.

And when Luxe Digital, a media publication company that focuses on the global luxury market, published their Top 15 Most Popular Luxury Brands Online in 2021, Gucci was listed as #1.

Gucci was also one of our most bought and sold brands of 2021. Known for its impeccable craftsmanship, timeless silhouettes, and one of the world’s most famous logos, Gucci’s leading the way with the Marmont Collection, The Dionysus, and the relaunches of the Gucci Jackie 1961, the Bamboo (Diana) Bag, and the Horsebit.

Hermés is, without a doubt, one of the world’s most elusive and luxurious brands.

Since a customer cannot go into the store and purchase a bag outright, the Birkin, Kelly, and Constance are some of the hottest items on the resale market today. and due to the limited supply, shoppers are willing to pay top dollar for secondhand bag.

Whether you’re stocking up on Birkins or Kellys, Hermés bags are an excellent investment and despite rising prices and limited supply, they’re always going to be worth the money. And if you’re able to source a bag in excellent condition, crafted in exotic skins, or in a limited-edition color or design, you’ve got a goldmine on your hands.

DIOR

The eternal allure of Dior has helped this storied French fashion house climb back up the list of the world’s best luxury brands. Christain Dior was so dedicated to ensuring all women looked their best, he wrote the Little Dictionary of Fashion in which he said purses should always be made of the highest quality materials and exclusively handcrafted for a breathtakingly perfect, ladylike design.

As one of the most searched brands in 2021, Dior handbags are doing incredibly well on the resale market and owe its success to the Book Tote, the relaunch of the Saddle Bag, and the Dior Lady Dior.
