Good2Know: Resale Value of Luxury Bags Fall & Taco Bell Brings Back Wings

RESALE VALUE OF LUXURY BAGS FALLS 

Inflation and recession fears are pushing consumers to spend less, and it's having ripple effects on the market for secondhand goods. A new report from luxury reseller The RealReal found that handbag resale prices plunged 20 percent for Louis Vuitton, 17 percent for Gucci, 10 percent for Hermès, and 9 percent for Chanel in the past three months. The retailer said the trend started in the fall of 2022, even as the resale market overall was red-hot with demand. 

WINGS RETURN TO TACO BELL 

Crispy chicken wings are returning to Taco Bell from January 26 through February 9. That's a week longer than last year's successful limited run. What's new this year is that the fast food chain is adding a "wings filter" to its app, so customers can see which locations have wings. Not incidentally, the crispy chicken wings will be available throughout the NFL playoffs, when wings become a popular accompaniment to watching the Big Game.
