Deciding to buy a designer handbag is a big decision. A well-chosen designer bag can last you forever and could be worth more in a few years. If you choose to invest in a designer handbag, fashion experts refer to the 'holy trinity of luxury handbags' as Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and Hermès.
Hermès bags are seen as collectable items for those who wish to spend their money on these luxurious bags.
According to Luxity: “Each bag takes between two days to two years to make by hand by French artisans. Hermès bags are usually only seen being worn by socialites and celebrities like Victoria Beckham, who is believed to own a collection worth R31-million.”
