Debating between a Celine or a Chanel handbag - I see it more as a long-term investment, which do you think holds up in value down the line? YSL is also on the list but idk not feeling the designs as much…

I am a bag lover but I don’t think it is wise to think of any bag as a long term investment. If you want to invest money, buy VTI. If you want a high quality bag that you can carry for a long time and get your money’s worth in use and you accept that if you want to resale it may be at a loss (and likely will be unless it is a desirable Birkin because of transaction fees and how that same amount of money would have grown if invested in the market) then get a bag! My most used and loved bag is a Chanel 19

This is a v interesting point - I saw it similarly as OP as a bit of an investment but this is a very good perspective!

chanel, celine doesn’t hold value, same with ysl

Chanel bags that are hard to find, popular style & colours, resell for more than retail. Or for example caviar minis that they no longer make sell for thousands over retail price.

As for classic styles prices go up many times a year, if you use it & hold onto it for a few years & resell you will make your money back or you will be able to sell for close to what you paid.

Resale value of celine & ysl is probably around 60% of their retail price

Which model?

Chanel.

I LOVE my celine (esp given its price pt relative to chanel)

Chanel 100%

Chanel! Celine is also a good option. However, if you have the means, just go for Chanel. Worth it, I promise!

Why not both? But seriously, which handbags are referring to? I am leaning towards Chanel by the way.

I think if you're looking for a handbag that's perfect for a long-term investment, I think you should just go with Hermes. Save a little more for a birkin. A kelly would also be nice.

Chanel handbags also are considered investment pieces depending which style you get (2.55 or Classic flap) - similar to the Hermes Birkin or Kelly. I have a Chanel Jumbo flap that I bought for $4900 in 2014, and it now sells for $9200 (last I checked). Resale websites have them around $7500-8000. Celine is not considered an investment. Ultimately, get the bag you like best, and don’t worry too much about the future resell value

How do you engage your students in more reading outside of what is required in the classroom? With each passing year I am finding an ever shrinking population of students, including honors students, who actually read beyond what is posted in social media or video games. Students willingly volunteer that they do not read and most parents see it as a non-issue. I tell my students that the best readers are usually the best writers. What are some strategies that you use beyond reading logs ?

Interested in everyone’s opinions on replica luxury. I ask because, as noted in the previous thread re: Chanel’s price increases, the quality of authentic luxury bags is going way down while the price increases consistently. Specifically Chanel and LV. I’m fascinated in the online rep community and it looks like rep quality has increased exponentially (with genuine materials and 1:1 markings, stitching, hardware, etc). What’s your argument for or against replicas?
