These 3 Bags Are Statistically the Best Investments for 2019
We won't sugarcoat it: Designer handbags are wildly expensive. If you are shelling out more than a month's rent on a bag, you might as well make the smartest investment possible—which means choosing bags that have the highest resale value should you decide to part ways with it later on. In its newest resale report, The RealReal revealed three bags the company calls "the ultimate investments."
Predictably, one of the biggest bags on the street style scene made the list: the Gucci GG Marmont Belt Bag. "Gucci's GG Marmont collection launched in 2016 and has kept its allure ever singe," The RealReal explained in a press release. "On average, these pieces retain 85% of their retail value, with the Matelassé Belt Bag holding fast at 96%." Perennial hitmaker Louis Vuitton also earned high praise. "Louis Vuitton's effortless bags represent five of the top ten handbags with the highest resale value. The Empreinte Pochette Métis is LV's #1 style and keeps a 95% resale value," read the release.
Last but certainly not least, the Hermès Constance rounds out the list. "The Hermès Constance may well become the next Birkin," The RealReal explained. "In the current logo-obsessed climate, its bold H is to thank for the 67% YoY increase in average prices." Scroll down to shop all three bags with high resale value.

Next up: four trends Anna Wintour never wears anymore.
Erin got her start as aBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing intern over 14 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Kate and Meghan stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible.
