Ode to the Victoria

[Hermezzy]

Anyone have pictures of an all-leather 43 Victoria, especially with shots of what you carry inside?

No photo, but I used my Victoria 43 as an overnight bag this week. I was able to fit:

1 toiletry pouch
1 iPad
1 camera
1 pouch with iPhone and iPad chargers / cables , extra camera batteries, etc...
1 pair of shoes
1 pair of pants
1 button down shirt
1 heavy sweater
1 change of underwear
1 pair of socks

The bag was full, but not stuffed.

Thanks for the info, Louis! My new Victoria arrived and...it is just glorious. I love it. It is, as you know, the perfect size. I can't use it yet, however, as the clemence is slouchy and my new samorga bag organizer is due by Monday or Tuesday, according to tracking. Once that is in place and I have everything settled in the bag, I can start carrying it...but for now it is getting plenty of loving looks as it sits stuffed on my dining table!

How exciting! What color is your Victoria?

My Samorga organizer has not left Korea yet...

Mine is gris tourterelle (dove grey)- I just can't stop staring! LOL ...and I have YOU to thank for this! I'm so happy we are bag twins. I'll be out in central CA for a couple weeks in August and I usually head up to San Fran for a day or so- maybe we will have to meet around Union Square and check out each other's "brother" victorias! haha

I'd be delighted to meet with you if I am in town. Gris tourterelle is such a pretty shade!

Hi all, I've been lurking here, and studying, and researching buying my new bag like mad. I've considered them all, especially the B, the Jyp and the Victoria II, and feel that Victoria II 35 is most suited to my lifestyle. There is something about the Bamboo Green that speaks to me, but I also love the oranges--Orange, and Fire Orange. First, any thoughts on those colors? I wear mostly jeans and black T's and turtlenecks and white shirts, and lots of black slim pants. Almost never earth tones. If I wear color it is a pop with a cashmere V-neck in something bright, or pastel. Wondering with all of the black I wear if Orange might be a little Halloween-ish? If any of you have pictures of your Orange or Green Victorias would you please post them? Finally, are there any other things I need to consider with Victoria? I am assuming she would be accepted at Spa for zipper replacement when needed or other TLC. Thanks so much!

Did you ever buy a Victoria?

Lol! Thanks for asking. Not yet. After selling most of my bag collection (except for a few clutches) I'm considering carefully my next bag purchases--sizes, uses, colors for my next "phase." Feeling very luxe-minimalist these days...

SO excited to have purchased my first Hermes, the Victoria ll in Noire!!! Thank you to everyone who has posted here- your information was incredibly helpful! This bag fits everything I need, with some room left over. I purchased the Mai Tai bag liner to protect Victoria's light interior. The liner fits perfectly! I use Samorga organizers for my other bags; however, I found Mai Tai to be a perfect match for this bag.
Ifeel you're like me and smaller bags just don't work for you, or you simply prefer squishy to structured (yet still classic), visit a boutique and give Victoria a try. I am so happy to have found a "forever" bag [emoji5] !

Have you recently purchased the Victoria? If so, congratulations!
Bag twin ！ I have the same black Victoria and the same colour Mai Tai liner! Enjoy her for many years to come! My Victoria is my perfect travel companion for work.

Thanks, Emerson! I just purchased it at the end of February, and I am in love! The zippers, the leather, the size, the beautiful details- all of it makes me so, so happy . So happy to be your bag twin and so grateful for all of the positivity and information this forum provides [emoji4]!
