Best Investment Bag: The Most Exclusive Chanel Designs

Fashionistas/businesswomen come in many forms, with the spectrums of fashion varying vast in size, and this time we delve into a different perspective for clever investments via fashion.

Previously we reviewed the safest bets of the French firm Chanel, which were the most iconic and classic bags of the house and how these pieces improved their value over the years. This time, we review the most acclaimed pieces of the season and sought after by fashionistas around the world, some of these pieces have reached figures previously unimaginable.

Here are the most acclaimed by the audience:

• Tweed flap bags

The tweed flap bags undoubtedly marked a trend of scandal! These models launched in the early 90s were a success in the French house. Vivid, neutral and warm colours worked in this mythical pattern of the brand and could be seen paraded by the most iconic women of the time.

Today these copies are resold at previously unthinkable figures, some reaching up to $25,000.

• Back pack

These back packs were a hit at the time and their different successful designs in different colours, with patterns enchanted everyone to create timeless classics. From black lambskin, to emerald green and yellow tweed, both hold the classic essence of the Chanel! Currently the prices of these models range from $3,000-$24,000, depending on the model and its season. With their track record, it is to be expected that these timeless classics will only go up in price as the years go on.

•  Denim Mania

 When we think of denim we can't help but think of the American 90s. A great era, especially for fashion collections. Chanel was, and remains to this day, one of the most desired. The most sought after and best valued models is the reliable back pack, the flap and we could never forget the top handle bags. This denim model is typical of the 97' season. Currently these models are resold for $14,000.

•  Classic Bag

The classic bag, one of the most recognised by the brand. The successor to the classic 2 55, designed by Coco Chanel herself. We reviewed this model in the blog ‘Safe Bet; Chanel Classics’. Out of many to choose from, we will cover one of the most successful versions of this model; the metallic ones that were a ground breaking trend.

• Chanel Heart Bag

The heart bag is one of those rare and exclusive pieces that has stood the test of time. With this particular model being so popular, the only option to acquire it is through second hand retail stores. This model became one of the most desired bags after the appearance of Kylie Jenner donning the black and white model. This is a truly highly sought-after and desired collectors item. Although it can be found in a few places, the prices vary a lot, the estimated amount is between $4,000-$15,000. It is currently on sale for sale around the $50,000 price tag. This has been one of the the highest figures ever seen for a Chanel bag. A more than worthy investment for the future!

Speaking of hearts, another of the models is new, belonging to the SS22 collection. In the parade we could see an ode to the designs of the 80s and 90s, now they are back and as trendy as ever. These models have aroused the curiosity of many people, and since October the waiting lists have exploded with popularity. Getting your hands on this bag will be a tricky task, but a very boastful investment for the future. This is undoubtedly one to watch out for. You don't have to be very visionary to see that this model will become the next collector's item.

- Lizard bag flap

The lizard shiny bag is another of the most valued and acclaimed elements by buyers and collectors alike. The French firm stopped manufacturing with exotic skins so that if you have any or can get hold of a piece from this range, it is a safe bet of an investment. Its value always remains high and its sale price too; in this case they reach up to $9,000.

- Chanel Pearl Flap bag

This is a recent model of the spring summer 2019 season. This incredible design drove everyone crazy. This is without a doubt a unique model in the house. Although another model with very similar pearls was previously seen, this was the one that captivated all eyes. The Pearl Flap bag is a model that consists of the iconic black classic bag covered in pearls all around. This piece was on sale for a very limited time, spending all the world stocks and now few have one in their possession and currently prices are around almost $7,000. Another timeless icon of the house to keep an eye on.

The rare and precious treasures of the Chanel house are vast and wide. We’ve barely scratched the surface of what has survived the test of time over the years. These are but a few of the many great investments out there.
