By The Rebag Team, Dec 23, 2021
Looking for
a handbag
with a sure ROI?
In case you didn’t realize, handbags are one of the hottest investments right now, with some fetching more than their retail price on the resale market. Wondering whether to go for Chanel, Hermès, or Louis Vuitton? Read on to see the most investment-worthy handbags of 2021, culled from Rebag’s proprietary data.
Chanel 19 Flap Bag Quilted Lambskin Large
The large lambskin Chanel 19 Flap Bag made the annual Clair Report’s Clair Picks section thanks to having a 21% increase in resale value since 2020.
Gucci GG Marmont Flap Bag Matelasse Leather Super Mini
Rebag’s handbag experts selected the super mini Gucci GG Marmont Flap Bag for the 2021 Clair Report’s Clair Picks section because it has increased in resale value by 36% since 2020.
Bottega Veneta The Pouch Intrecciato Nappa 20
The Pouch was Daniel Lee’s first hit when he joined Bottega Veneta in 2018. The style, in BV’s signature Intrecciato weave, made Clair Picks due to its 45% value increase on the secondary market since 2020.
Bottega Veneta Jodie Hobo
Reportedly named after Jodie Foster, who once used a Bottega Veneta bag to shield her face from the paparazzi, the Jodie Hobo carries a hefty 90% of its retail value at resale.
Chanel Coco Top Handle Bag
The Chanel Coco Top Handle bag combines the look of a Chanel Classic Flap with the functionality of a top handle bag. The bag, which debuted in 2015, is definitely worth the investment, keeping 97% of its retail value at resale.
Louis Vuitton Pochette Metis
The functional Louis Vuitton Pochette Metis isn’t available on the Louis Vuitton website, giving it a resale value that’s 106% of its original retail price.
Hermes Lindy Bag Clemence Mini
Named after the “Lindy Hop,” a dance move born in Harlem’s Black community in the 1920s, the Lindy celebrates the idea of movement with its strategic side handles. Its average retention value is an impressive 152% of its primary market value.
Louis Vuitton Solar Ray Soft Trunk Bag Monogram Canvas
Virgil Abloh made history with first collection Louis Vuitton Men’s collection in 2018 as the first Black designer at the French fashion house. With his untimely passing in November 2021, this Solar Ray Soft Trunk Bag from that season is a covetable collectible that doubles as a piece of history.
Fendi Baguette Zucca Canvas
And Just Like That… the Fendi Baguette is back! The Baguette — which gained popularity because of its numerous appearances on Sex and the City — with Fendi’s monogram Zucca canvas is also a great investment, carrying 135% of its original value at resale.
Prada Re-Edition 2005 Shoulder Bag Tessuto Small
The 2000s are trendy again, and so is the revival of Prada’s sporty nylon bags. They may be practical, but they also are a good investment.
Telfar UGG Shopping Tote Shearling Small
Limited drops and a high demand make the Telfar x Ugg Shopping Bags extremely hard to come by on the primary market. This perfect storm makes them an ideal investment with a high resale value.
