Victoria Beckham, the fashion icon, has come a long way from her days as a “WAG.” While her style has evolved, one thing remains constant: her love for Hermès bags. In a 2022 conversation with Vogue, she revealed that she owned several Fendi Baguettes back in the 90s, but parted ways with them during a charity sale, along with all her Hervé Léger bandage dresses. This was a significant shift, a moment of letting go, a spiritual cleanse, but it wasn’t enough to detach her from the allure of Hermès.
Recently, she was spotted leaving Paris with a crocodile Birkin, a testament to her enduring affection for the brand. Interestingly, her husband, David Beckham, the original metrosexual, shares this passion for luxury leather goods. He was seen carrying a massive Kelly Relax Voyage 50, proving that his love for “manbags” is as strong as ever.
The Beckhams’ relationship with luxury items is intriguing. They aren’t reserved for special occasions; instead, they’re seamlessly integrated into their busy lives. As fashion commentator Alice Newbold observed, these items are “not saved for best,” but rather, they are “slung over the arm of a businesswoman with four children and a schedule holding each minute to account.”
This nonchalant attitude towards luxury reflects their status. Victoria, a fashion powerhouse, and David, a global icon, are undoubtedly busy, but they still manage to remain effortlessly stylish. Their love for Hermès bags speaks volumes about their taste, their lives, and their enduring connection to these timeless pieces.
