BAG YOURSELF A KEEPER<br />
Yes, we’re talking about the Birkin bag from Hermès, of course.<br />
Last year was another record-breaking one for the Paris-based<br />
brand, which saw profits rise 11%. Getting your mitts on a brand new<br />
Birkin is near impossible due to the ever-elusive waiting list. However,<br />
second-hand bags are still an effective form of both retail therapy and<br />
investment. Birkins can be snapped up from between $15,000 and<br />
$35,000 from online retailers such as Farfetch.<br />
REIGN SUPREME<br />
The next generation of<br />
investors are stocking up on<br />
products from streetwear<br />
brand Supreme.<br />
Anything that this New<br />
York brand produces turns<br />
into investment gold dust,<br />
but the most notable piece<br />
so far is the Supreme x Jeff<br />
Koons skateboard deck which<br />
originally sold for $240 and is<br />
currently reselling at $2200.<br />
Supreme releases its newest<br />
products once a week. Young,<br />
devoted investors eagerly<br />
camp outside the stores the<br />
night before, in their limited<br />
edition Supreme sleeping<br />
bags, no less.<br />
PICASSO UNDER<br />
THE HAMMER<br />
On <strong>May</strong> 15, Picasso’s iconic<br />
Le Marin painting will go on<br />
sale at Christie’s, New York.<br />
The painting, thought to be<br />
a self-portrait of the artist, is<br />
expected to sell for at least<br />
$96 million.<br />
For the first time in almost a<br />
decade, reports show that the<br />
super-rich are investing more<br />
money in art than they are in<br />
wine. So, this is the perfect time<br />
to add some history to your<br />
collection.<br />
