Trina, congratulations on your new to you Hermes. It is a beauty and I suspect that you will have years and years of enjoyment. Like you, I purchased my first Hermes bag when I got divorced about 12 years ago. I wear it constantly and, of course, have added other Hermes items that I just had to have. All the best to you!

I thought I'd feel guilty, but the purchase has been entirely liberating. I'm not quite sure the significance. Perhaps I'll process it someday or just enjoy it for what it is. Thank you for the warm welcome.

View attachment 3656256 I'm new to high-end designer bags. I have one LV Epi Mabillon backpack. Other than that, I have Rebecca Minkoff, Coach, Orla Kiely. I'm about to turn 50 and own about 7 bags total.

I was divorced on 3/15/17 after an oppressive 19 years of marriage. I decided to buy myself something nice to just be me again. I went to the Fendi boutique in Short Hills, NJ twice. I could decide between a Lei and Dotcom. Then I went to a very reputable consignment in Livingston, NJ and met a Blue Jean Victoria bag. I returned twice. On the third visit, I bought it.

What have I done? I love the bag, but I'm in a neighborhood and part of women who shop at Macy's when things are on sale.

Can I carry this bag every day? Will it withstand daily use? I'm nearly a minimalist and cannot wrap my mind around a bag collection, but I LOVE this bag.

The Victoria is a beautiful bag, and blue jean a gorgeous colour. Carry it every day. Enjoy it. You deserve it.

I too bought my first H bag following my divorce(also 19 years). I found it to be very liberating as my ex would have never approved of me spending more than $100 on a bag. I now get a secret thrill everyday when I carry my H bags. It empowered me and made me feel like a rebel. I hope you enjoy your beautiful Victoria and relish carrying it. Divorce is not an easy process but a little retail therapy can help Enjoy your bag! You deserve it!!!

Congratulations on reclaiming your life and doing something to make yourself happy! You 100% deserve to carry a bag that makes your heart sing. The Victoria is a beautiful, classy, and very understated design. And it is to die for in blue jean! If you live in a neighborhood that is not in tune with luxury brands, then I doubt anyone would even notice it is Hermes. What's most important is that you love it, it makes you happy, and that you will get good use out of it. Enjoy this bag!! Hopefully it is the first of many more to come :smile:

I am sorry about your divorced. But indeed, you deserve something wonderful in your life. This bag is beautiful. May i know where the consignment store you visited at? I am in NJ as well, maybe I can find little gem there like you.
Take care.
