So, without further ado here are The Top 10 Investment Bags To Buy In 2024:
1. Hermès Kelly Bag
One of the most classic bags ever, the Kelly will never go out of style! In 1935 Émile-Maurice Hermès diversified the brands offerings designing a bag for his wife to carry. Called the Sac à Dépêches the bag was practical and elegant with a classic style. The accessory achieved worldwide recognition in 1956 when the American actress and princess of Monaco Grace Kelly used her Sac à Dépêches to cover her pregnant belly from the paparazzi. As soon as the photo of that is published on the cover of Life Magazine women from all over the world start running to Hermès asking for the Kelly Bag. In response the brand changed the bags name to the Kelly, and history was made.
Today an icon of elegance and sophistication, the Kelly is one of the most sought-after bags on the resale market. Not only for its timeless style but also for the enduring allure of the woman it is named after. The Kelly is sold in Hermès stores for around $9,000 and can be sold in the resale market for more than $20,000.
2. Hermès Birkin Bag
The Birkin bag is the most famous and popular bag in the world, and for sure one of the most classic. The Birkin was designed in 1983 when Hermès creative director Jean-Louis Dumas set next to the actress Jane Birkin on a flight. She was wearing a straw tote and explained that most leather bags were too structured for her taste. So Dumas designed the bag on that flight on the back of a napkin. Today the Birkin is an icon and is the kind of bag that will last you your whole life.
The price of a Birkin when buying directly from an Hermès store varies depending on size, leather, hardware and color, starting at $10,075. On the resale market it has a retention value of 127%!
3. Chanel 22 Bag
Designed by Virginie Viard the Chanel 22 was presented at the Spring/Summer 22 collection. Like its predecessor – the CHANEL 19 created in 2019 – its name refers to the year of its creation. Functional and light, made of an extremely supple yet resistant leather, this bag comes in four sizes and an array of colors. Designed to be an easy fuss-free everyday bag, the Chanel 22 is more casual than the usual Chanel bag. Its interior, sophisticated and practical, closes with a magnetic button and purse-like drawstrings. It features an inside zipped pocket and a removable pouch held in place by a snap hook.
This bag is becoming more popular with each year that passes. It sells for 104% of the original price!
4. Dior Lady D-Joy Bag
Reinterpreting in a horizontal format the Lady Dior, an icon of the House symbolically associated with Lady Diana, the Lady D-Joy is an amazing choice for 2024. The Lady D-Joy bag captures the House’s vision of elegance and beauty. Crafted in lambskin with Cannage stitching, it is enhanced by pale gold-finish metal D.I.O.R. charms embellishing its silhouette. Featuring one removable chain shoulder strap and another adjustable and removable leather crossbody strap, the Lady D-Joy bag can be carried by hand or worn crossbody as a daily companion.
Top handle bags will be super popular next year, as will be new interpretations of classic designs.
5. Goyard Anjou Tote
The Anjou bag is a nod to the emblematic Saint Louis bag but in a leather version lined with Goyardine. Reversible, it has two different styles and looks. Its handles with their progressive thickness make it easy to hold and comfortable to carry. A bag of considerable volume, it is ideal for everyday use and for work. The Anjou bag is a reference to the Duke of Anjou, brother to Louis IX, known as Saint Louis. As the Duke of Anjou was Saint Louis’s brother, so the Anjou bag is the little brother to the emblematic Goyard Saint Louis bag. The Goyard Anjou bag holds up to 100% of its original retail price on average.
While the style comes in three different sizes (Mini, PM and GM), the Mini Anjou proves to have a higher resale value.
6. Bottega Veneta Hop Bag
Inspired by a classic Bottega Veneta Hobo bag introduced in 2002, the Hop bag is the newest bag of the brand. With the iconic intrecciatto weave that is handmade in the course of two days, this is an elegant and quiet, although recognizable, shoulder bag. Available in two sizes and multiple colors the bigger size will not only fit a laptop but also everything else you might need. The smaller size is the perfect everyday shoulder bag, it will always be chic.
This bag is the representation of all Bottega Veneta stands for: amazing craftsmanship and timeless elegance. It will be one of the trendiest bags for 2024!
7. Ferragamo Hug Bag
The Hug Bag is the quintessence of an enduring legacy of craftsmanship and creativity. It is an emblem of modern elegance and unparalleled expertise, inspired by the emotional gesture of a hug. Representing the new Ferragamo this bag is soft but has a structured silhouette, it features Gancini buckles and a studded bottom.
Available in a few sizes and colors this bag is an amazing representation of the big bag trend that will be super popular in 2024.
8. Louis Vuitton Neverfull
Introduced in 2007 and thought to be created to compete with Goyard’s St. Louis Tote, the Neverfull is made of coated canvas and is an icon of the brand. While it’s not widely publicized, the GM size of the Neverfull is able to hold up to 200 pounds of weight despite the appearance of its delicate handles. This bag is an amazing companion to take to the beach, to the airport or even to work. In 2013, Louis Vuitton updated their signature tote to include a detachable accessories pouch, and they began introducing additional interior lining colors with an updated print, and a full leather version. When Louis Vuitton launched the OnTheGo tote it appeared that the Neverfull would be left behind. But so far, the Neverfull has truly proven to be a mainstay of the house.
As of this year you can only buy the Neverfull if you join a waitlist that is reported to be two to three months long. The goal is to increase demand and decrease supply for this iconic style. It sells on the resale market for 73% of the original price.
9. Loewe Squeeze Bag
Launched for fall/winter 23 the Squeeze is a new icon of Loewe. With beautiful ruched detailing and donut chain, the Squeeze is an innovative bag constructed in supple buttery leather and named for its distinctive squishy shape. It is a masterpiece of traditional craftsmanship and innovative research and is bound to be super popular in 2024.
The hobo shape is very trendy, but it has a classic allure that will always be chic.
10. Gucci Horsebit 1955 Bag
As the legend goes, the horsebit hardware entered Gucci’s arsenal in 1953. It was Aldo Gucci—recognizing that shoppers liked a side of history with their handbags—who perpetuated the myth that the Gucci family had once been saddlemakers to nobility. Since the horsebit appeared on a handbag in 1955, that elegant hardware has become as recognizable as the Chanel double Cs. Reintroduced at the house’s cruise 2020 collection, the reprised Gucci Horsebit 1955 bag comes in various shapes, like tote, satchel and shoulder bag. All unified by the instantly identifiable double D-rings. After all, there’s no need for a Gucci logo when its signature hardware is present.
This bag is extremely classic! It has an average retention value of 71% of the original price.
