Indeed, it seems that a Birkin’s worth just keeps going up. Baghunter shared that between June 2016 and 2017, the value of Birkins on the resale market rose by 16%. Since then, Baghunter has conducted a new report, which found a growing gap between demand and supply of Birkin handbags, leading to a “mini Hermès drought” in the resale market. “With all indicators showing Hermès have not increased production of the Birkin bag, the value of the Birkin is set to spike soon,” said Evelyn Fox, co-founder of Baghunter.
We’re no expert on investments, but we’d say the Birkin sounds like a pretty sure bet. This begs the question: Stock market or bag connoisseur? We’ll take the bags, thanks.
