As designer prices continue to climb, increasing by 50% in just the past five years—luxury shops are shifting their focus. More than just hunting for deals, they’re making smarter, long-term investments through the resale market. In response, Vestiaire Collective has launched its 2025 Resale Buying Guide, designed to help fashion lovers navigate which luxury pieces are worth the spend.
Using data from over 400 designer brands, Vestiaire created the "Vestiaire Value Ranking," a system that measures items by price accessibility, long-term value, and current desirability. The result is a curated list of the most investment-worthy bags in fashion today—styles that blend beauty, brand power, and strong resale potential.
According to the guide, Chanel tops the list as the most valuable brand on the platform, thanks to its timeless designs like the 2.55, Classic Flap, and Boy Bag. Louis Vuitton and Hermès follow closely with iconic styles like the Speedy, Neverfull, and Birkin—bags that continue to perform strongly in both retail and resale markets.
Other standout brands include:
- Balenciaga: Known for the edgy City Bag, Le Cagole, and minimalist Everyday Tote
- Bottega Veneta: Featuring the woven Cassette, the sculptural Jodie, and sleek Andiamo
- Celine: With understated favorites like the Triomphe, Ava, and 16 Bag
- Saint Laurent: Offering the celeb-loved Le 5 à 7, quilted Loulou, and timeless Sac de Jour
- Prada: Highlighted by the structured Galleria, nylon Re-Edition 2005, and sleek Cleo
- Dior: With icons like the Lady Dior, Saddle Bag, and practical Book Tote
- Gucci: Featuring the Jackie 1961, Horsebit 1955, GG Marmont, and Dionysus
Even as fashion trends shift, these pieces remain enduring symbols of luxury and style—and now, smart assets in your wardrobe. According to Vestiaire Collective’s Sophie Hersan, “Resale is no longer a secondary option, but a leading way consumers access and experience designer fashion.”
Whether you’re starting your designer collection or adding another gem to it, these top-ranked bags combine timeless appeal with lasting value—making 2025 the perfect time to shop smarter.
