It is often said that investing in a luxury bag is equivalent to taking shares on the stock market, and it is indeed true! The interplay of supply and demand does indeed increase the value of certain hand bags over the years. And who says buyer on the one hand, says reseller on the other: you may have a bag in your wardrobe yourself that you no longer use and which has become a very sought-after model - a nugget that waits than to be appreciated by a new owner! With a rifle come back for you on the luxury bags which are popular right now.
How does a bag gain value?
Several criteria govern the value of a sac and make it an ideal candidate for the resale. The first is of course its rare aspect: whether it was particularly popular from its launch or voluntarily produced in limited quantity by the House of luxury leather goods, a handbag is of course going to be all the more desired the harder it is to find! If a model of this bag (re)appears, it is therefore the object of all desires.
It can then be noted that the iconic bags are always popular: timeless, these great classics are particularly sought after in second hand, because their "lived life" gives them a little extra charm. Like the famous crus of certain wines, there are also launch years that are more specifically sought after than others.
Finally, the sacs from associations of Haute couture houses with some renowned artists or very popular stars can also be very popular, on the one hand because they are often made in limited edition, and on the other hand because they are sometimes considered by fans as objects of collection.
Hermès, champion in all categories
If there is indeed a House whose hand bags will inevitably find takers at a breathtaking price, it is Hermes ! No need to talk about waiting lists to get one of their flagship models, everyone knows that it sometimes takes several years to get closer to the Holy Grail. THE Birkin d’Hermès Still holds the record for the most expensive bag sold at auction today – an extremely rare model with diamond-encrusted details! – and he is still highly sought after. But another bag dethrones it on the podium of top rated hermes bags : the Kelly ! Its resale price in second hand Of course varies depending on the size, condition, color or year of release of the bag, but you will get a nice sum anyway!
Finally, if he is less under the spotlight than his comrades, the sac Constance is still part of leather bags[brt] whose rating has exploded in recent years, making it a model almost as sought after as the Birkin.
If you have one of these luxury bags in your cupboards and you want to resell it, do not hesitate to call on Vintega: we will help you determine the value of your sac and will offer you a suitable buyback offer.
Chanel and his legendary bags
The aura of Home Chanel does not weaken over the years. This is surely what explains the constant success of his hand bags, including sacs Chanel second hand. The Timeless is currently the most sought-after model of luxury bag on the second-hand market! It surpasses its predecessor, the 2.55, which is also always so dreamy. Their second-hand value is very close to their new value! Between these two iconic pouches intercalates the Boy of Chanel, whose large-link chain is enjoying deserved success. Its multiple variations since its creation in 2011 couple Karl Lagerfeld have made it a flagship model, with growing popularity. These three accessories resell particularly well, including models rather classics : the recent rise in the price of bags Chanel in stores also affects the prices of second-hand bags. If you are looking to resell one of these it bags to replace it with a larger bag for example, so you will have no trouble finding someone to pamper it after you!
Of course, there are other little treasures Chanel like the minaudieres Matryoshka or in the shape of a perfume bottle, but it's a safe bet that these rare versions are no longer found on the market!
Louis Vuitton, darling of collectors
We mentioned above the limited editions, and the sacs Louis Vuitton d’occasion are those whose value is most intimately linked to this aspect. THE leggings or Louis Vuitton travel bags vintage remain the most sought-after models because of their historical aspect (the attics still certainly conceal other nuggets!), but they are closely followed by recent bags manufactured in few copies.
The revisits of Keepall de Louis Vuitton come first, with a rating that increases every year: the transparent vinyl versions imagined by Virgil Abloh sell particularly well second-hand, as do other backpack or at Louis Vuitton shoulder strap from limited editions in collaboration with the artist Jeff Koons.
The models who are making their merry way
The three Houses that we have just mentioned are undoubtedly those whose sacs vintage sell the best, and at the most impressive prices. Many others luxury bags However, they are doing well, and putting them back on the market when you no longer wear them can be a very good idea. Fashion effect, social networks, reissues or revisits of a model: the increase in value of a bag at a given time can depend on very varied parameters!
At the house of Saint Laurent, the Links where the Sunset second-hand, for example, benefit from the fluctuating availability of new models in stores, which increases their prices.
Previewed alongside Instagram stars, the Cabas Book Tote by Dior only loses 20% of its new value in a used version!
Several models of Gucci handbags are also appearing more regularly in social media hashtags recently – perhaps boosted by the promotion of the assassination film Maurice Gucci ? – thus increasing the estimate of certain models. THE Dionysus and the Marmont by Gucci are particularly good candidates for resale thanks to their iconic design.
While other models aren't yet "ripe" for resale, there's no guarantee they won't be booming in a few years: micro-trends and the world of influence can carry a bag at the top in less than 24 hours.
