When investing in luxury fashion, one of the smartest moves you can make is purchasing a handbag with strong resale potential. The best designer bags not only elevate your wardrobe but can also hold, and sometimes even increase, their value over time. At 959 Deluxe, we specialize in authentic pre-owned designer handbags, offering both buyers and sellers a trusted space to shop and consign luxury with confidence.
So, which designer bag has the best resale value? Let’s break it down by the most sought-after brands.
Chanel: Timeless Classics That Appreciate Over Time
Few names carry the prestige of Chanel. Bags like the Classic Flap and the Boy Bag are more than style staples, they are financial investments. Chanel increases retail prices almost annually, which pushes resale value higher for those who purchased earlier. Pre-owned Chanel bags, especially those in caviar leather and neutral colors, consistently sell close to or above retail on the secondary market.

Hermès: The Pinnacle of Resale Value
When it comes to investment potential, Hermès is unrivaled. The Birkin and Kelly are the ultimate luxury handbags, often appreciating in value due to their exclusivity and craftsmanship. With extremely limited production and long waitlists, Hermès bags often resell for above retail prices, especially in rare leathers and limited colors. Pre-owned Hermès bags are considered the gold standard in luxury resale.
Louis Vuitton: A Legacy of Popular Demand
Louis Vuitton continues to be one of the most searched-for luxury brands in resale. Bags such as the Speedy, Neverfull, and Pochette Métis remain in high demand, especially those with monogram canvas. Limited editions and discontinued designs often command premium resale prices. For buyers and sellers alike, Louis Vuitton is a safe and reliable option for strong resale performance.

Dior: Modern Classics Gaining Momentum
Dior handbags, particularly the Lady Dior and the newer Book Tote, are rising in resale value thanks to their timeless design and modern cultural relevance. While Dior resale values historically trailed behind Hermès and Chanel, demand for certain models has surged, making pre-owned Dior bags a smart buy for forward-thinking collectors.

Gucci: Trend-Driven Yet Consistent
Known for bold designs and a mix of classic and contemporary styles, Gucci has strong resale value in specific lines. The GG Marmont, Dionysus, and Jackie 1961 have proven especially popular in the secondary market. While Gucci bags can be more trend-sensitive, they remain one of the most accessible and consistently sought-after brands.

Goyard: Exclusivity Drives Resale
Less publicized but highly coveted, Goyard handbags benefit from exclusivity, the brand is not available online directly through Goyard, making resale one of the few ways to access their pieces. The Saint Louis Tote is particularly popular and often sells quickly in the pre-owned market. For buyers looking for something rare with strong value retention, Goyard is an excellent option.
