Julide, I purchased one in etoupe from H.com, but I ended up returning it. It sits on the shoulder much more comfortably than the Victoria and fits a lot, but it is very long...DH actually referred to it as the sausage bag.

I was wondering about the length. Thank you for the information RomanHoliday!!!:flowers:

I have been carrying my Victoria Elan for about a month now. The dimensions are 15" long x 8" high x 3" wide. It's a great bag for going out for lunch or dinner or quick errands. It holds almost everything I usually put in my handbag except for a cosmetic case. I wish it were an inch wider but I like that it's a shoulder bag so I can use both hands while carrying it.

It was very floppy so I ordered a structured handbag liner from Divide and Conquer which gives the bag the body it needed so the shape doesn't distort. I also got a structured bag liner for my Victoria II.

Hi memo..... care to give us some action pics with both of your Victoria? I've fallen hard for the Victoria and I have set my mind on getting one when I visit Paris in September.

BTW, is the Victoria II as elusive as the Birkins and Kellys in the Paris stores? I hope Victorias are easily available in the boutiques. Anyone has comments on this?

The Victoria bags are def out there but seems like the colors are all so boring - lots of black and gold, some blue jean ... has anyone seen anything interesting color wise in a Victoria (not the Elan)??

Hi, this is my first post. I just want to thank you all for your comments/advice and expertise on the Victoria. It was after reading this thread that I decided to get a H bag that is practical and more understated than say a Birkin and Kelly. I don't know whether it is meant to be or not, but after reading the thread, I called the local H boutique and enquired if they had a black Victoria and they said yes, it had only arrived in the store the week before. I went in the following day and now have a beautiful Victoria.

I do have a few questions still though. Can anyone comment on the resale value of a Victoria since it is not the most popular style among Hermes bags? Much appreciated.
