Top 10 Celebrity Bags That Are Worth the Investment

Hey there, y’all! Let’s gab a bit about them fancy-schmancy celebrity bags, you know, the ones them movie stars and rich folks carry around. I ain’t no expert, mind you, but I’ve seen enough pictures and heard enough gossip to tell ya a thing or two.

First off, let’s talk about that Chanel stuff. Them Chanel Classic Flap bags, they say they’re a good thing to spend your money on. Specially the ones that ain’t no crazy colors, just plain ones like black or brown. They say if you buy one of them, you can sell it later for more money, kinda like gold, I reckon. Now, I don’t know about you, but that sounds like a pretty good deal to me, if you got the money to spend in the first place, that is. Them bags, they cost a pretty penny, more than my old man ever made in a year, I betcha.

Then there’s this Hermes brand. Folks say they’re the king of anything made with leather. And the most expensive too, I hear. They got these bags, the Birkin and the Kelly, that are famous all over the world. They say if you’re lookin’ to buy a bag that’ll make you money, them Birkin bags are the way to go. Supposedly, they go up in value every year, more than them stocks and bonds folks talk about on the TV. Fourteen point somethin’ percent, they say. That’s a whole heap more than my chickens ever earned me, I’ll tell ya that.

• Hermes Birkin: The big money maker, they say. Fancy lookin’, but Lord, the price!
• Hermes Kelly: Another one of them Hermes bags. Just as fancy, just as expensive.

Now, there’s this other brand, Louis Vuitton. I can barely even say the name right, but them bags are popular too. One gal, Aika somethin’ or other, said her Louis Vuitton Pochette was the best thing she ever bought. I ain’t never seen one of them pochettes up close, but I reckon they must be somethin’ special. And them Neverfull bags, they say they hold their value real good too. More than you paid for ‘em sometimes, can you believe that?

So, what makes these bags so special? Well, I reckon it’s the name, mostly. Chanel, Hermes, Louis Vuitton – they sound fancy, don’t they? Like somethin’ a queen would carry, not just some old woman like me. And they’re made real good, with the best leather and all. And they don’t make a whole bunch of ‘em, so they’re hard to get. That makes folks want ‘em even more, I guess. It’s like them beanie babies back in the day, remember them? Folks went crazy for them things, and now they’re sittin’ in boxes in the attic, most likely.

But here’s the thing, if you ask me. A bag is just a bag. It holds your stuff, right? Your wallet, your keys, your lipstick, whatever you carry around. I got me a bag I bought down at the Wal-Mart, and it works just fine. It ain’t fancy, and it ain’t gonna make me no money, but it does the job. And I ain’t gotta worry about scratchin’ it or gettin’ it dirty. I just toss it in the corner when I get home, and it’s good to go the next day.

Now, if you got the money to burn, and you wanna feel like a movie star, go ahead and buy one of them celebrity bags. But don’t go thinkin’ it’s gonna change your life or nothin’. It’s just a bag, after all. A real fancy, real expensive bag, but still just a bag. And remember, most of them gals carryin’ them bags, they didn’t pay for ‘em anyway. Someone gave it to ‘em, or they borrowed it for the night. That’s the truth, even if them magazines don’t tell you that. Investing in designer bags can be smart, they say, with bags like the Hermes Constance and Hermes Picotin holding their value real good, and even the Chanel Deauville Tote is worth a lot later on. They say it all goes up in value. But I still say, a good sturdy bag from the store is good enough for me.

Anyways, that’s just my two cents on them celebrity bags. Take it or leave it. I gotta go feed them chickens now. They’re squawkin’ up a storm, and ain’t nobody gonna quiet ‘em down but me.
