We know that there's money to be made in buying investment designer handbags like the Chanel 2.55 or the Louis Vuitton Speedy monogram. But is it the same deal with shoes, especially as they are more subject to wear and tear? The short answer is, yes.
You might not be able to achieve as much of a profit, but according to Vestiairecollective.com, Europe’s leading trusted social site for the resale of designer and premium fashion, there are a few key shoes that will never dip in value.
