Hello ladies! I've had this topic in mind for a while and I would like to hear your opinion. Many of us buy bags thinking on them as investment pieces, we don't waste our money, we spend it on bags that are worth it. I've been an avid collector of alexander wang bags, clothing, shoes you name it. I have to say he is my favorite designer, love his style, edgy rocker and chic. I've purchased and sold many alexander wang items along the way, and I'm disappointed on the fact that when selling them I don't get even near to the initial value. These bags get every time more expensive but their resale value is aprox 50% or 60% off the original value. I'd say this is not a phenomenon exclusively to alexander wang items, just lucky hermes or chanel bags tend to increase or maintain their value as time passes. But this makes me question myself on buying full priced bags or items, as I said i look at my designer items as investments, and buying alexander wang has brought me nothing but loss
. Think I will just purchase items on sale, I really can't avoid loving this brand, he is a great designer.
This also ads to then quality issues I've had with some of the bags, showing use on the handles and sides where it rubs against your body specially on the pebbled leather. Please let me know your thoughts, I know many of you might say you buy bags because you like them and not thinking on the resale value, but is a reality than when a big amount of money is spent in someway it would be nice to get it back once we had moved on with the bag and want to get a new one.
