The best investment bags share two things: real craftsmanship and design codes that last. Heritage favorites and newer names in equal measure, all made to stay in your wardrobe for years.
Best Investment Bags
From the Birkin to the Baguette.
The best investment bags hold their value because the craftsmanship and the shape both age well, from the Birkin to the Baguette. This edit includes Chanel's Cerf Executive Tote, Gucci's Jackie 1961, The Row's N/S Park tote and pieces from Loewe, Jacquemus and Saint Laurent. A monogram Speedy and a Dior Saddle are the classics I would start with.
