Investment Handbags

By:


Buying new leather handbags is always an event, but when money is short, you need to get a lot of bag for your buck.

What should you look for when buying an investment leather handbag?

Select from established design houses producing classic, covetable products. If your budget is big enough start by looking at, Hermes, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, or Mulberry, all known to give a good ROI (return on investment).

These are all classic brands with proven staying power producing leather bags that should hold their value. Choose a model that will not date. Avoid bright colours, neutral shades retain value better and appeal to a wider audience for resale purposes. Avoid gimmicky details that quickly lose their appeal.

Identify popular models. Which styles are repeatedly sent down the catwalks season after season? These are the classic models, the designer bags coveted by many and desirable in all financial climates. Choose simple, un-fussy designs that will not date.

The perfect example of an investment buy is the Hermes Birkin Bag, The Rolls Royce of handbags. Depending on rarity, colour, and condition, prices vary. Be warned, you could end up spending the price of a luxury car on your luxury handbag.

Buy the real thing. Buying a fake is a disastrous investment. Buy from reputable specialist companies that resell authenticated designer bags.

Choose a tough bag made of material that will not fade or perish. Textured and embossed leathers endure better than polished smooth leathers that scratch and highlight imperfections.

Exotic leathers can be worth investing in, the more unusual, the better the likely resale value. High premiums are paid for popular, classic models of luxury brand handbags in unusual exotic leathers. Hermes Birkin or Kelly bags in crocodile skin often resell for five times the price of the same bag in calfskin.

Once you have selected your bag, protect your investment. Avoid perfumes, lotions, and water. Pen ink stains are the most common handbag accident and dramatically reduce resale values of designer handbags. This handbag horror can be avoided by inserting easily sourced fabric liners that can be transferred from bag to bag if required.
