When Baghunter released a study earlier this year stating that Hermès Birkin bags were a better investment than stock or gold we were ecstatic. Not that we needed an excuse to go out and buy a new bag, but that was a great one. Now a new study suggests that Chanel’s flap bags should be our next investment purchase. Since 1955 the value of the bags, and by extension most of Channel's purses, have only ever increased over the years, with prices jumping up 71.92 percent since 2010. The house's first flap bag, the Medium Classic Flap Bag, was released at a modest $220 price point in 1955; today it’s worth $4,900.
