Top 5 Luxury Brands That Hold Their Value in the Resale Market
Share
At High Society Resale Boutique, we see firsthand which luxury pieces fly off the shelves — and which ones keep their value year after year. Whether you're shopping with future resale in mind or curious about where to invest, understanding brand value retention can help you build a wardrobe that’s both beautiful and wise.
Here are five designer labels that consistently hold (or even grow) in value on the resale market:
1. Chanel
Why It Holds Value:
Chanel is the gold standard in luxury resale. Classic styles like the Flap Bag, Boy Bag, and Tweed Jackets are always in demand due to limited availability, iconic craftsmanship, and consistent price increases from the brand.
What to Look For at High Society: Vintage and modern handbags, signature blazers, and logo jewelry.
2. Louis Vuitton
Why It Holds Value:
Thanks to their durable canvas and timeless monogram, Louis Vuitton pieces — especially the Neverfull, Speedy, and Pochette Accessoires — maintain strong resale prices. Limited-edition styles or discontinued colorways often go aboveretail.
Hot Tip: Condition matters. Even gently used, a well-kept LV can fetch a high return.
3. Hermès
Why It Holds Value:
Known for exclusivity, Hermès items are often treated as luxury investments. The Birkin and Kelly bags can not only retain value — they often appreciate. Scarves and belts also perform well due to their timeless elegance and strong brand recognition.
Insider Insight: Even small leather goods and silk scarves from Hermès have resale power.
4. Gucci
Why It Holds Value:
Gucci has had a resurgence over the past few years thanks to bold design revamps and social media influence. Items featuring the GG logo, Marmont collection, or horsebit details are resale favorites — especially in handbags, shoes, and sunglasses.
What Sells Fast: Statement bags, belts, and anything with that unmistakable Gucci pattern.
5. St. John
Why It Holds Value:
While not as flashy as the others, St. John’s resale success lies in its quality, timelessness, and loyal customer base. Knitwear, suits, and evening pieces consistently sell due to their flattering cuts and durability.
Perfect For: Professional women and luxury lovers who want polished pieces with staying power.
