The Incredible Investment Potential Of A Chanel Handbag

If you were looking for an excuse to splurge on a new Chanel handbag, we're about to give you one. According to a new study, the classic Chanel bag has increased in value by 70 per cent in the last six years alone; this looks set to continue for 2016.

Baghunter revealed that the classic 2.55 bag has only ever increased in price since it was first released in February 1955. The style first went on sale for $220 (about £150) and will now set you back $4,900 (almost £3,500). The study confirmed that this makes a Chanel handbag a more sound investment than property in the United States.

Luckily, the study also revealed that this trend can be seen across the board for Chanel handbags, so whichever Chanel tote you have your eye on, it is likely to be a solid investment.
