Hi guys, I'm new here, and this is my first reply. but i have been reading through this forum back and forth for many years.
I just want to share a new toy with you guys.
It's a kelly 35, in 19 fw new colour Vert Amande, 63.
It's really a bizarre colour for my eyes. When I got it from the SA in bordeaux, I just couldn't define with my own eyes what exactly the colour was. It's kinda green, especially under the sunshine back in France. But it shows very blue-ish tone under the indoor lights... It cannot be called refreshing, but definitely standing out amongst the other traditional hermes colours. I don't know why, the more I look at it, the more I love the colour... it's sooo strangely exciting....
Hope you enjoy, and feel free to leave the comments.

Hello!

Has anyone seen the new Victoria Light briefcase in person? I love the look of it and wanted to see if anyone has had the chance to check it out

Thanks!

I saw this briefcase when it first arrived at the boutiques. There's a lot to like about it but I didn't end up buying it. The size is good if you are looking for a lightweight slim briefcase. Out of the box it has decent structure but I expect it would lose some shape with use and I think that would give it extra character. It is very light but still feels nice in the hand. There is just an iPad sized slip pocket so you'll probably want something else to help organise small items.

What stopped me from buying it was the the zipper placement. It's so close to one side that it feels like that side is more like a lid. It feels like you want to lay it down horizontally to open the briefcase rather than lay it down vertically to open it like a top loading zippered briefcase like the Victoria II or Plume 12H. It just felt awkward to me when opening the briefcase in a vertical orientation. The older Serviette 57 Plus had a similar offset zipper opening and I thought that was awkward compared to the standard Serviette 57 with a symmetrically placed zipper.

Having said that, you really need to try it in person because everyone is different in how they use their bags and I really liked everything else about the briefcase.

I hope this helps.

I’m not so keen on the Sailor variant, but have kind of fallen hard for the classic Flash Backpack, especially in red.

Trying to keep temptation at bay as I really don’t need another bag right now, but I really like the form and simplicity that heralds back to the old trunk designs.

I’ve not had an opportunity to play with one yet (usually the kiss of death with my self control), so can’t really help on that front!

Open-top bags stress me out too much—makes me feel like I'm going to lose something.

I have the Loewe Anton bag, which has near identical strap system. That bag has a unique structure to it, and probably gets the most compliments out of all mybags. I think it's a better looking bag than this one (and vastly cheaper).
