Is a Chanel bag a good investment?

Even the models that resell above retail carry sales tax you never recover, insurance, reconditioning, and a consignment commission that routinely runs a quarter of the sale price. The calculator on each bag's page reports the net figure after all of it, alongside cost per wear — which is the metric under which an expensive bag can genuinely be the cheaper choice.
