Buying These 10 Handbags Will Actually Make You Money

A smart woman once said, "Gucci, Fendi, Prada purses, purchasing them finer things."

That woman was Fergie and though the song was written for Sex and the City, the singer may have been on to something.

It turns out that the designer handbag hanging off your side is actually a jackpot or in layman's terms, a good investment.

Buy these handbags and sell them later for some sweet returns!

1. Hermès Birkin

The iconic Hermès Birkin is an obvious money bag (if you can afford it.)

While it may seem out of reach, it's still cheaper than buying a house. Therefore, it's an investment you may actually be able to afford.

2. Hermès Kelly

If 20,000-ish dollars is out of your budget, the Hermès Kelly will only set you back $10,000.

Experts claim that Hermès is the most established collectible, making it a fail-proof investment despite the upfront cost.

Don't believe us?

A Niloticus Crocodile Himalya Birkin handbag sold at auction in Hong Kong for just over $380,000.

And the Kelly bag, which now retails for around $10,000, only cost a mere $900 in the '50s.

3. Chanel Boy Bag

According to a recent study, the medium classic Chanel Flap Bag has risen in value by 70 percent over the past six years.

You don't have to be a math whiz to see the value in that!

But you had us at Chanel!

We know you didn't need any convincing on this one, but now you have an explanation for all the frugal haters in your life.

4. Chanel 2.55

Everyone recognizes the Chanel 2.55 with its glorious quilted body and dainty chain strap.

Turns out it's more than just arm candy. Over the past 12 years, its value has risen by more than 230%

5. Christian Dior Lady Dior Cannage

Christian Dior is another timeless brand most fashionistas feel weak in the knees for.

Splurge on the Lady Dior bag while it's still semi-affordable. It will put you out $4,000 but is only going to rise in value.

The price keeps increasing every year!

The value has gone up by 8.5% per annum to be exact. So while it's on the lower end of the scale when compared to the Birkin, think about what it will cost in ten years.

6. Louis Vuitton Speedy

Any bag snob will recognize the iconic Louis Vuitton monogram, and the Speedy bag is covered in it. Being the first bag the brand ever created helps make it even more coveted as well.

7. Louis Vuitton Neverfull

The Neverfull comes in all shapes and sizes and has been the product of many top artist collaborations, meaning certain versions can fetch a good, even amazing, resale price.
