Ode to the Victoria

[Orange addiction]

I scored one online in Dec 2022. Rouge sellier and toile. It is a travel bag for me.

I LOVE my Victoria! It’s my most used Hermes bag at the moment. In fact I’m sorely tempted to buy another! View attachment 6078957

You are rockin' it!

Some of the older bags come with a luggage tag. I have heard that the bags with the luggage tags are called "Victoria" while the ones without it are "Victoria II"

I have two Victorias, ebene and etoupe, both with the luggage tags, fabric interior. They are Clemence. The Victoria II came out without the tags a couple of years afterwards. They are great bags. I have a structured organizer inside for storage. Otherwise they are slouchy. They hold a ton of stuff.

ETA: there is also a thinner elan version.

I remember an orange Victoria in the window at Tysons many moons ago. It was one of the first H bags I fell in love with. Lucky you! Such a great bag.

Ooo you have a structured organizer? Please advise which one you have. Thank you!

One from Etsy made of felt. Not sure if the seller is around anymore.

Thank you for letting me know. I shall keep searching. (Although I keep hoping 7 Rue Paradis will make an insert for the Victoria, and the Bolide.)

I use a Mai-Tai insert in my Victoria and it works well.

Actually, why don’t you email them? I may not have got a specific Victoria insert. Could have been for GP36…

Hi @MiaT, I just posted info on the inserts I have for my Victorias in the inserts thread, in case it’s any help.

So, I’ve been meaning to post these for a while and finally got around to taking some pictures. Posting them here in case it helps anyone else!

I really struggled to find a good insert for my 35 Victorias. There aren’t many companies making inserts for the Victoria, and many of the semi-custom options are not the right proportions. I wanted something with a little structure, that would provide soft support without any hard or stiff edges to make marks in the smooshy Clemence leather. The Victoria is meant to be a little slouchy, so I wanted just enough support to help keep the...

They’re not the quality or luxury you’ll get from MaiTai, or 7RP, but they had the perfect dimensions and soft structure I was looking for.

Absolutely love the Victoria! It’s such a great, discreet, versatile bag. Here’s mine, in Etoupe and Rouge Garance.

I have mine in étoupe and rouge garance too! These are such great bags! Initially I didn’t really get it; I had thought they were boring and boxy.
After seeing a French woman carrying one in the 7th arrondissement on a rainy day, I was hooked!

Hi, do they still make Victoria bags? If yes, is it hard to get (in US). TIA!
