In its latest trend report we will reveal which pre-owned bags are most coveted by global buyers—and why. From the exclusivity of Hermès to the timeless appeal of Chanel and the resurgence of Dior, the data shows that resale demand is both global and generational.
Hermès Tops the List
Unsurprisingly, Hermès bags dominate the top of the report. The Birkin and Kelly remain the crown jewels of the secondary market, commanding premiums far above retail. Their scarcity-driven appeal continues to attract both seasoned collectors and new investors.
Hermès is still unmatched in resale performance. The combination of craftsmanship, scarcity and cultural prestige ensures that Birkins and Kellys remain at the very top of global demand.
Even lesser-known Hermès models, such as the Evelyne and the Bride-a-Brac, are experiencing increased attention, reflecting the brand’s broadening appeal beyond its two most famous icons.
Chanel’s Classic Power
Chanel is another strong performer, with the Classic Flap leading the brand’s resale portfolio. With retail prices rising steadily, resale values have surged as well. The Boy Bag and seasonal editions are also consistently popular, especially among younger buyers seeking a modern alternative to Chanel’s heritage designs.
Chanel’s consistent price increases have created one of the most stable resale markets. Our clients see Chanel bags as assets that retain or grow in value.
Vintage Chanel from the 1980s and 1990s is increasingly sought after for its craftsmanship, particularly pieces featuring 24-karat gold-plated hardware.
Dior’s Resurgence
Dior bags are enjoying a renaissance in resale, led by the Lady Dior and Saddle Bag. Once considered niche collectibles, both models have surged back into demand thanks to celebrity endorsements and a wave of nostalgia-driven fashion.
Dior has made a remarkable comeback in resale. The Lady Dior’s heritage and the Saddle Bag’s cultural relevance make them highly desirable for younger generations.
Special editions and artist collaborations within the Lady Dior line, particularly the Dior Lady Art series, are commanding premiums as collectors recognize their long-term investment potential.
Emerging Trends
Beyond the dominance of Hermès, Chanel and Dior, Libas Collective’s report highlights several emerging themes shaping buyer behavior:
- Mini bags: Smaller versions of classic models are growing in popularity, reflecting shifts in lifestyle and fashion.
- Neutral tones: Buyers are gravitating toward beige, taupe and gray, colors that offer versatility and longevity.
- Sustainability-driven demand: Younger consumers are explicitly seeking pre-owned bags as part of their sustainable shopping choices.
Resale is about more than luxury—it’s about aligning consumption with modern values. We’re seeing a conscious shift toward pieces that buyers know they will carry for years, not just seasons.
Looking Ahead
We predict that Hermès will continue to dominate resale performance, while Chanel and Dior will remain pillars of consistent demand. Hermès’ scarcity, Chanel’s cultural prestige and Dior’s resurgence together ensure that these brands will define resale trends for years to come.
For Ivan Todorov, the report underscores how much resale has matured. “This isn’t a side industry anymore—it’s a core part of luxury,” he said. “Our clients are telling us clearly: they want authenticity, sustainability and investment value. That’s exactly what resale delivers.”
The Libas Collective trend report highlights the shifting priorities of global luxury buyers. Hermès leads with exclusivity, Chanel offers timeless reliability, and Dior captures renewed cultural relevance.
