Another year, another hike. After two rounds of U.S. price adjustments in 2025, this year’s increase landed exclusively on handbags. The biggest mover was the Low Key Cabas MM at 5.7%, jumping $4,400 to $4,650, though no handbag was spared. Let’s take a closer look at some FASHIONPHILE favorites that felt the bump.

The bag that started it all is worth more than ever now. Increases across the Speedy family were modest and measured, ranging from 2.1% on the Nano and Bandouliere 25 to 3% on the Bandouliere 30, 2.9% on the 35, and 2.8% on the 40.

Structured, storied, and quietly appreciating. The Alma BB rose 3.1%, and the Alma PM followed at 2.9%.

This travel bag is worth investing in before your next trip. The Keepall Bandouliere 45, 50, and 55 all moved a clean 3%.

Never one to disappoint, the Neverfull is also on the up and up. The PM rose 2.9%, the MM 3.2%, and the GM 3.1%.

An old soul with serious staying power, the Noe is now worth even more. The Noe BB led with an increase of 3.3%, followed by the Petit Noe at 3.2%, the standard Noe at 3.1%, and the Nano at 2.9%. Cheers if you already own one!

The workhorse of the lineup means business. The OnTheGo MM rose 3%, and the GM came in just under at 2.9%.

As hot as its namesake, the Palm Springs Backpack is only getting hotter. The Mini climbed 3% while the MM saw a smaller bump of 2.3%.

One of the most coveted bags in Louis’ lineup, the Pochette Metis has earned its status, and this latest increase is further proof of its enduring value. It rose 2.9%.

To shop or to sell, that is the question. And the answer? Both. Whether you decide to hold on to your asset, cash in, or invest in a new Louis, the return on investment is juicy…and only getting juicier. 

Louis, like Chanel, Hermes, and Cartier, tends to build value over time, making it a smart luxury investment. Let’s use the Louis Vuitton Speedy Bandouliere 30 to illustrate our point. If you bought one in 2022 at $1,640, it’s now worth $2,040—that’s a 24.4% return in four years alone (lucky you!).

Louis Vuitton handbags hold their value. Whether you’re sitting on one or looking to add one to your collection, now is the time. Shop and sell Louis Vuitton with FASHIONPHILE today.
