Price
When people say the word investment, this one is obviously out of the question. But try to think more critical, because not everything that’s costly can be considered as an investment piece. As a matter of fact, not all handbags that are considered as investments would have a good start. This is where the next tip enters.
Designer
There’s a famous question, “Who are you wearing?” this ‘who’ usually refers to the designer of the handbag. The more the designer is well known, the more the expensive the bag could get. But as high the price could get, the more it could be considered as an investment piece.
Popularity
When “it” people, the socialites and the stylish celebrities have one, then you’d know when you should get one. But as much as possible, never confuse classical investment pieces with at-the-moment ones. A good way to tell whether it is an investment handbag is when the likes of Audrey Hepburn have used and abused the bag and today’s important people in fashion still use and abuse it. Your next clue would be how much people would persist to make imitations of the bags and up to long they’d do it.
Quality
When it comes to designer handbags, quality and quantity are equally essential. Top designers usually make a very limited number of such bags but you could tell that these bags are made with all the effort that could be given in its crafting. So if you decide to buy one, be prepared to be on a very long waitlist. Don’t forget to check the material as well as the style of the handbag.

Design

Avoid neon colors and elaborate designs. Considering that what you’re looking for is an investment piece, these bags are the ones that should last more than a lifetime. Look for ones that are preferably neutral in color palette and a not too complex structure or design.
Functionality
Whether it’s a designer bag or not, a bag should serve its purpose to the wearer; Designer bags, which can be alternately used as an investments piece, should still be able to carry some of your stuff. It’s an obvious fact that the ones that are not too functional, don’t usually last long enough to be considered as an investment.
