As I prepared to view another splendid Victoria Beckham-narrated showing of her spring dress collection, what comes out on the models’ arms that had me doing a double take? Handbags! “I love bags and this is one of the categories I wanted to really get into,” Victoria told me. The small capsule collection that came out during the 26-look dress showing was impressive and undoubtedly reflective of Victoria’s own aesthetic. There was a two tone lizard and calf clutch with chain as well as a crocodile hexagonal chain bag that are perfect for evening; a practical yet chic large travel bag that Victoria told me was designed with her husband, David, in mind (listen up men); a modern and practical dual fold shoulder bag in lizard and, of course, a namesake Victoria bag in super-structured buffalo leather that’s large and roomy, not to mention structured–a great alternative to her favorite Hermès Kelly bags. The six bag collection, due out early–as soon as December 1–feature soft hues like fossil, a pure “What’s White,” as well as a waxed blush pink. There’s also no outlandish logo in sight. “They [all] have a very minimal aesthetic to them,” she said. “I wanted to offer bags that will stand the test of time.”
