,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]Handbags are the new shoes, the must have'it' accessory that's all the fashion-istas clamoring for the newest offering from preferred designers. It's also a market that has more in common with the male-dominated world of classic automobiles than you'd realize.
Few of you will have missed the fuss a couple of months back when Sainsbury's sold 20,000'I'm not a plastic bag' Anya Hind-march totes for [pound]5 each. Inside hours those self same unbleached cotton bags were selling for in excess of [pound]150 on eBay. 'Every girl has a handbag,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],' claims Christie's specialist Monica Turcich,'and every girl wants one. They've always been popular and they are the section of our 20th-century fashion sales for which we get the maximum phone calls, but now they're doing particularly well because everybody wants handbags,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], whereas ten years ago there weren't the 'it' bags like we have today, simply the classics.'

Last March Christie's sold a red Hermes crocodile skin Kelly bag for [pound]10,800, this had only been bought in 1994 and was originally a bespoke product. The Kelly bag is the'holy grail' of the classic handbag world according to Turcich. 'Chloe and other more up to date bags are far more driven by what's favored now, but for Hermes and Chanel's duveted bag, these are classics which never go out of fashion and are always useable.' Kelly bags can be acquired for [pound]600 and can often be sold on for [pound]1,000- [pound]2,000, which isn't bad for a bag which should have been bought back in the 1960s.

There's little doubt that most handbags are being purchased to be used, it is not an investment market in the same way as many other collectables such as paul smith,Abercrombie and Fitch,dsquared etc, but again there are parallels to the auto market. By buying a classic bag and looking after it,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you're not likely to lose cash, rather see a steady gain with the added return of enjoying using it.
Hindmarch's'I'm not a plastic bag' bags are doubtful to make it to'classic' standing, they're after all industrially produced cotton totes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but other purses from her range might well do so. So far Christie's has-n't sold any Hindmarch bags,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but Turcich claims she wouldn't be confounded if they start turning up at auction soon and she wouldn't turn them away.
there's a spotless one in the next auction which is predicted at [pound]800 to [pound]1,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 together with another Chloe handbag in the same lot. People simply do not seem to have paid attention to the proven fact that handbags have become the new shoes in the last few years,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there's now an appreciation of the design that goes into them.
it is not always about gigantic names, a couple of weeks ago Ms Minogue was at the store of Tony Durante, a handbag dealer at Alfie's in London, and got a white raffia bag with a horse's head on the front for around [pound]200. Brightly colored raffia bags are in at the moment because it's summer. Durante claims that Kylie loved this bag as it was surprising. Purchasing it from a vintage fashion dealer she's unlikely to push into another celebrity carrying one. Durante announces that his shoppers are looking for this'unusualness' factor.

Some'it' bags will positively go down in worth as fashions change, but the classics should stay steady.
