Not everybody owns a Hermès bag, due to factors such as limited production and rare materials, so therefore owning one seems special. Every year at Christie's auction house, Hermès crocodile leather Birkin bags often set new transaction records. According to research by the website Bag Hunter, who compared the types of investments in a 35-year period: the average annual return of gold is 1.9%, while the average annual growth rate of Birkin's value is 14.2%. Therefore, investing in Hermes Birkin is safer than stocks or gold! But are you willing to sell your baby after buying it or will you want to keep it all to yourself?

2. Hermes Kelly

The Kelly bag did not receive the same hype from brand fans like the Birkin bag, mostly because of the style’s less unique design. Most of the higher priced pieces by the brand in the market are VIP customized styles, contrary to last year where there was a craze for the Shoulder Kelly, which made Kelly and Birkin once again on par in terms of popularity and demand!

3. Chanel 2.55
