All brands

33 designer handbag brands, tracked for resale value over time.

Louis Vuitton

Est. 1854

The world's best-selling luxury brand by handbag volume, known for monogram canvas and periodic, publicly documented price increases that have historically supported resale values on its most iconic styles.

Chanel

Est. 1910

Widely considered the benchmark 'investment' handbag brand — repeated price increases on the Classic Flap in particular have made it one of the most closely tracked resale markets in luxury fashion.

Hermès

Est. 1837

Deliberately limits production and retail access to its Birkin and Kelly lines, creating sustained waitlists that routinely push resale prices above original retail — a dynamic almost no other luxury brand replicates.

Gucci

Est. 1921

A high-volume luxury brand whose broad availability keeps most current styles trading below retail on the resale market, with exceptions for discontinued or limited pieces.

Dior

Est. 1946

Known for the Lady Dior, a style with sustained cultural cachet and steady, if unspectacular, resale demand compared to Chanel or Hermès.

Saint Laurent

Est. 1961

A more accessible entry point into luxury leather goods; high production volume on its bestsellers means resale values typically sit well under retail.

Prada

Est. 1913

Saffiano leather's scratch-resistance gives Prada's structured bags unusually strong resale durability, with the Galleria in classic colors routinely holding 60-75% of retail.

Fendi

Est. 1925

Best known for the Baguette, one of the most collected 'It bags' in fashion history — vintage originals have appreciated sharply even as resale demand for current-production pieces has cooled recently.

Celine

Est. 1945

Under creative director Hedi Slimane, Celine's minimalist current lineup — especially the Triomphe — has meaningfully outperformed the brand's historical resale average.

Bottega Veneta

Est. 1966

The signature intrecciato weave and a string of viral 'it bag' moments have pushed Bottega Veneta's resale performance to rival established investment-grade houses.

Balenciaga

Est. 1919

The 2000s-era City Bag helped define an entire decade of luxury fashion; resale demand has cooled somewhat as trends have shifted toward quieter design.

Goyard

Est. 1853

No e-commerce, no widespread retail distribution, and a devoted following — Goyard's controlled scarcity keeps resale prices unusually close to, and sometimes above, retail.

Givenchy

Est. 1952

The structured, durable Antigona has been Givenchy's most consistent resale performer for over a decade.

Loewe

Est. 1846

Under Jonathan Anderson's design direction, Loewe's craft-forward pieces — the Puzzle especially — built a genuine resale following, though rare materials and colorways matter more than the brand name alone.

Valentino

Est. 1960

Valentino Garavani's Rockstud line carries real recognition, with resale demand growing steadily over recent years even though most pieces resell for roughly half of retail.

Miu Miu

Est. 1993

Miu Miu's cultural momentum over the past several years — driven heavily by the Wander bag — has made it one of the fastest-moving resale categories in contemporary luxury.

Chloé

Est. 1952

A beloved, wearable aesthetic hasn't translated into strong resale value — Chloé bags including the Marcie typically resell for well under half of retail.

Coach

Est. 1941

An accessible-luxury brand with real design credibility; the Tabby has driven the strongest resale demand Coach has seen in years, though most of the lineup still depreciates like a typical accessible-luxury bag.

Marc Jacobs

Est. 1984

Despite 'The Tote Bag' becoming a genuine cultural moment, resale values for Marc Jacobs bags remain low — most pieces are bought to use and personalize, not to hold value.

Versace

Est. 1978

Best known for bold, maximalist design and the Medusa emblem; resale values vary widely by style and generally sit well under retail.

Ferragamo

Est. 1927

A storied Florentine house whose modern Hug bag is still building resale history, with growing but not yet fully established demand.

Delvaux

Est. 1829

Belgium's answer to Hermès — a small, tightly controlled production run and a devoted collector base have pushed resale value for pieces like the Brillant meaningfully above retail in recent years.

Alexander McQueen

Est. 1992

Known more for its gothic-romantic runway identity than for handbags specifically; resale demand exists but is less established than at brands built around a single iconic bag.

Telfar

Est. 2005

A modern case study in scarcity-driven resale: intentionally limited restocks have pushed the Shopping Bag to resale premiums that rival or exceed those of Hermès.

Burberry

Est. 1856

British heritage house best known for its Nova check trench-coat canvas; handbag resale is steady but thinner than at brands built around a single enduring icon.

Mulberry

Est. 1971

The UK's leading leather goods house, defined by its postman's-lock hardware; resale demand is real but generally modest compared to French and Italian luxury peers.

The Row

Est. 2006

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's ultra-minimalist 'quiet luxury' house; its Margaux tote is one of the strongest resale performers in contemporary handbags, often reselling near retail.

Christian Louboutin

Est. 1991

Best known for red-soled shoes; its spike-studded handbag line has real recognition but thinner resale demand than the footwear that built the brand.

Bvlgari

Est. 1884

Roman jewelry house whose Serpenti snake-motif handbags carry genuine resale demand, anchored by decades of jewelry and watch brand recognition.

Tod's

Est. 1920

Italian leather goods house built on driving-shoe craftsmanship; its handbags hold moderate resale value, supported by consistent tanning and stitching quality rather than trend-chasing.

Moynat

Est. 1849

A French malletier older than Louis Vuitton, revived by LVMH in 2011; extremely limited boutique-only production gives its bags Hermès-tier resale retention.

Dolce & Gabbana

Est. 1985

Maximalist Italian house whose Sicily bag is its clearest handbag icon; resale demand is real but more dependent on specific styles than on the brand broadly.

Judith Leiber

Est. 1963

Hand-set crystal minaudières have made this house a red-carpet fixture since the 1960s; figural animal and fruit shapes are genuine collector pieces with strong resale retention.
