Investing or not, all depends on the owner’s goals
When the owner only buys it to use, then the bag cannot be said to be an investment. As time goes by, the condition of bags that are often used will also decrease, resulting in resale prices or resale value from the bag decreases and you as the owner end up losing money.
However, if they buy because they want to make a profit in the future, or to buy and sell in the short term, then the luxury bag can be said to be an investment.
In essence, investment is the activity of buying assets or goods with the hope of gaining profits in the future either through an increase in the assets of these goods, or from the fixed income generated from these assets.
So what if, someone buys a luxury bag with the intention of wearing it but a few years later the bag is sold, and he makes a profit from the sale?
This also cannot be said to be an investment because the profit from the sale is just luck.
