Good morning, and a happy new year !
I'm pleased to show you my new-to-me Victoria in gris tourterelle.
I also posted a worn picture in the Hermès in action thread.
I wanted this color, wanted this bag... Do I need to tell you more ^^
I wore it several times already and immediately felt it suits my style better than my GP. It looks smarter, and the slouchiness adds a little offhanded je-ne-sais-quoi :smile:
I guess the Victoria's limited success is partially due to its price 1000 € higher to GP price (that's something like more than 33 %), and I should have chosen it first.
The size suits me well, I'm 5'5 and of rather large build.

Love your bag, beautiful color! I picked up a gold Victoria a couple of months ago and am liking it so much. It’s such an easy and practical bag. Enjoy!
 
Anyone have glazing issues with handles on their Victoria? I’ve only had my bag less than 6 months and have used it very lightly but the glazing of the handles seem to be detaching in several areas. Should I take it in for inspection or is this normal for this bag? I’m afraid of it getting worse, especially since I’ve only used it sparingly and it’s already like this. Any help would be appreciated.

I would adk the shop, I wouldn't expect the glazing to peel at all.
 
is the Victoria usually a bag that a reasonable SA will sell if available or do a transfer for? I'm specifically interested in the 43 travel size.

As a relatively new Hermés shopper, it's hard to get a sense of how much demand for the quota bags is also fueling downstream interest in and acceptance of less coveted bags- but I know Victoria has been around for a long while.
