The pivotal investment in fashion capable of turning any outfit around is having an iconic bag that encapsulates in an object your style and the image of yourself that you want to give. A self-respecting "it-bag" comes both from the latest collections released - and is making its way by character among celebrities and top influencers - and from the permanent lines of the famous maisons, with a design that allows you to own a small piece of history. Today, between new conceptual glories and reinterpretations of Y2K silhouettes, the bags will define 2022 are predominantly medium-sized, colorful and with the right details not to go unnoticed, even in the cleanest versions. Cross-referencing the data from Rebag's 2021 report and StockX's The Culture Index 2022 we identified the 5 bags that will prove to be a great buy even in a few years, given the ability to hold a constant market value over the years, when you can then decide to resell them on a resell platform, such as StockX, which from 2019 boasts in its catalog of accessories to sell and buy even the most desired bags in the world in its offer.

Bottega Veneta - Jodie Bag

Climbing to the top of the charts since 2019, the Italian brand under the aegis of Daniel Lee has not only changed its face, but redefined with linearity and care in materials an aesthetic characteristic of those who love fashion intertwined with design. Perfect symbol of this synergy between study of form and quality is the Jodie Bag, inspired by a piece of archive recognized as the favorite of the actress Jodie Foster to dodge the shots of the paparazzi and with that unmistakable crescent shape. Able to retain its value even after purchase from the 90% sale price, the Jodie in Intrecciato version is a bag to have in all available shades, especially the iconic Green Parakeet of the brand and to be able to resell even at a higher price in the near future.

Chanel - 19 

In the last two years Chanel's prices have risen by about 15% on a selection of items, and the brand has begun to create shortages of pieces on the market making it impossible to buy bags unless on a waiting list. The strategy, used to circumvent the mechanisms of the secondary market (and especially of vintage), led the exclusive creations of the maison to soar, as in the case of Chanel N°19, the reinterpretation of the iconic Classic Flap in 1983, presented just after the death of Karl Lagerfeld. Kaiser Karl's legacy is a more contemporary version of the Classic Flap, with oversized quilting, chunky chain straps in three shades and a deconstructed structure, with a trade-in value up 21% since 2020, and sure to rise in the coming years.

Balenciaga - Le Cagole

We are also talking about an iconic design that comes from the revisitation of a past, this time closer: infused with 90s echo, Le Cagole is the shoulder bag by Balenciaga made to be combined with multiple fashion solutions, able to aesthetically transfer the decisive and untouchable soul acquired by Balenciaga with the studs, the customizable heart-shaped pendant and the unmistakable crescent shape that dictates the law in this period as in the 2000s by Nicholas Ghesquière. Le Cagole is another take on Balenciaga, the same one that maintains its role as the most sought after brand in the last period: with the campaign in which Kim Kardashian posed in a black catsuit with contrasting neon green Le Cagole, the bag has acquired an iconic status, currently managing to position itself in the "Low Risk Investments" category but trending towards the "Safe Investments" category in the previously mentioned report.

 

Prada - Cleo

The Milanese fashion house continues to whisper in the ear of design in its most minimalist conception with the Cleo bag. Curved and solid in its beaten leather, with a satin or saffiano finish, it represents a reinterpretation of lines down dear to Miuccia Prada in 2008 that in different shades synthesizes the conceptual verve of the brand. Prada continues to dominate the charts and to maintain a high market value even in the field of resell, with a 45% and to tell its present by enhancing the past. 

 

Gucci - Jackie 1995

The hobo bag by definition is her, The Hobo Jackie Bag dedicated to a style icon that has forever marked the history of women and fashion. Born as Constance in 1950, the bag's success was consecrated on the shoulder of the unforgettable First Lady who gave it her nickname, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis in 1961, the year taken as a reference by Alessandro Michele for his reinterpretation of the timeless classic, available in three sizes - mini, small and medium - in different leathers or in GG Supreme fabric. The Italian brand is a safe long-term investment, thanks to the ability of the creative direction to always run on the right track of pop-culture with enhancement to the heritage and to maintain a trade-in price above 60% of the retail one.
