Investing in Style
When most people think about investments, their minds go straight to stocks, bonds, or real estate. But in recent years, a growing number of collectors and savvy investors have turned their attention to something more luxurious—and surprisingly profitable: Hermès bags.
Birkin Bags vs. Traditional Investments
According to Art Market Research, Birkin bags delivered an average return of 14.2% annually from 1980 to 2015. That outpaces even the S&P 500, one of the most trusted long-term investments.
Here’s how the numbers stack up:
Birkin Bags: 14.2% annually / S&P 500 (Price Only): ~9.8% annually
S&P 500 (Total Returns): ~12.7% annually / Gold: 3.4% annually
What Gives Hermès Bags Their Staying Power?
The impressive appreciation of Hermès bags isn’t accidental. A few key factors drive their value:
• Limited supply and high demand
• Strong brand equity and craftsmanship
• Global resale market expansion
• Price stability even during downturns
Exotic leathers, rare sizes, and special-order designs tend to appreciate the most.
