Ásette Investment Score

Our own Investment Score is based on an individual assessment of each bag. It is calculated on the basis of the model, condition, accessories and the exclusivity of the material.

asette investment scores: a core investment, b string hold, c style pick

Every bag a good deal

Regardless of the score, every vintage Chanel bag we showcase on Ásette is an investment piece. All of them have demonstrated value appreciation over the years and represent potentially sound investments. Our Investment Score simply highlights exceptional pieces that stand out due to specific characteristics – and thus offer unique investment potential.

A – Core Investment: A well-preserved bag from the 80s or 90s that comes with its original Chanel accessories can achieve this Investment Score.

B – Strong Hold: These Chanel bags are in excellent condition but may lack original accessories or be slightly more recent models.

C – Style Pick: Bags in this category remain solid investment pieces but show more signs of wear than others and, for instance, do not come with accessories.

How we calculate the score

The factors are weighted so that the model and condition have the greatest influence on the result. For the ‘model’ factor, for example, a Classic Flap is awarded a higher score than a GST, as the latter is less in demand on the resale market. Once the condition score (as new, very good, good or well-loved) has been determined, we look at the accessories. Are there any original accessories left at all? Are they complete with the box, dust bag and certificate of authenticity, or are only some of these included? And finally, rarity. A classic lambskin or Caviar bag receives fewer points than exotic leather or bags from limited editions or Métiers d’Art collections. Regardless of these four main factors, there is a small bonus on top if the bag is particularly old. However, this only applies if it is also exceptionally well-preserved and in ‘very good’ or ‘as new’ condition. We therefore give extra points in our score to old treasures that have been particularly well looked after. A bag that has held up so well over decades is a truly special investment piece.
