shop on New Bond Street in 1998, I tried to pluck up the courage to go in.to London, but had no idea whether you were supposed to ring a doorbell or just walk inside. All I knew was the bags in the window were making my heart race.
For the next four years after my first purchase, I saved everything I could from my meagre salary as a receptionist so I could buy more bags. On our wedding day, he gave me a red Hermès Kelly bag, which cost around £6,000. Unfortunately, I find it a bit too boxy so I keep it safely in its dust bag, as it could now be worth about £9,500.
Sometimes, I’ll sell a bag on a specialist website such as Catawiki.com and buy new ones with the profit.Around 2014, the vintage market boomed, and that’s when I realised how investable designer bags can be. I keep track of what my bags are worth by monitoring how much the same model sells for, and have alerts set up at online auction houses.I now own 29 luxury handbags, which are worth around £25,000 in total. My dream piece is a Louis Vuitton vintage travel trunk from the Titanic era, but these sell for about £30,000.
Most of those bags are ugly af tho😖
