Technology is usually our friend, but sometimes it turns on us, and that’s what happened with our original tour through Victoria Beckham’s incredible handbag collection. She was honored earlier this week as one of Glamour magazine’s Women of the Year, and that seemed like a good reason to reconstruct and update our look at one of the world’s most famous bag addicts.
Beckham has her own line of high-end handbags now, of course, and since it launched, she’s carried those bags almost exclusively. (After all, if you could design all handbags you wanted, why wouldn’t you carry them?) We reached back to a time before that, though. Back to the Posh Spice days of Hermès and…well, more Hermès. Check out all the loveliness (including tons of exotics) below.
Asprey 167 Crocodile Bag
Victoria loves a color-match. That will become clear as we go. For now, enjoy this bag from a super-luxe brand we rarely spot.
Chanel Kelly Bag
Speaking of things we rarely spot: can the Chanel spin on the Kelly shape make a comeback?
Chanel Vintage Maxi Flap Bag
$2,750 via The RealReal
Stars usually stick to brand new bags, but when they go vintage, it’s often for Chanel.
Victoria Beckham City Victoria Satchel
$1,995 via Net-a-Porter
When you have your own line of high-end bags, of course you can get your initials hot-stamped onto yours if you want it.
Victoria Beckham Crocodile Chain Satchel
$1,950 via Net-a-Porter
Just because Victoria eventually stopped carrying non-VB bags doesn’t mean she stopped loving exotics.
Dolce & Gabbana Crochet Sicily Bag
$2,895 via Barneys
We made sure to reach far enough back in the archives to get as many bags from before Victoria had her own label as possible, though.
Dolce & Gabbana Patchwork Runway Bag
Shop Dolce & Gabbana via Nordstrom
That Victoria has been famous for so long means that there are some really, uh, interesting bags in her collection if you dig a little bit.
Victoria Beckham Flap Shoulder Bag
Shop Victoria Beckham via Net-a-Porter
Victoria rarely carries her shoulder bags on her shoulders; instead, she’s the only human alive who carries them like models are instructed to do on the runway.
Victoria Beckham Floral Zip Pouch
Shop Victoria Beckham via Net-a-Porter
Matching your clutch to your dress this perfectly is a flex.
Victoria Beckham Frame Bag

When I first saw this picture, I really hoped it was a Marc Jacobs Stam, but it’s not.
Gucci Patent Horsebit Satchel
Shop via Gucci
When you consider how conservative Victoria’s style has gotten over the years, her transformation is pretty remarkable.
Hermès Birkin
Of course there are Birkins. You knew we were headed for Birkins.
Hermès Birkin
Victoria has at least two black Birkins, and she appears to like this soft-grained version the best; she carried it regularly for years.
Hermès Birkin
Vicky also has this glossier version (perhaps in popular Box Calf leather), which she uses more sparingly.
Hermès Birkin
And baby blue, because why not?
Hermès Ostrich Birkin
Celebs often go with neutrals when it comes to Birkins and exotics, so we really appreciate Victoria’s embrace of color.
Hermès Ostrich Birkin
And in her Hermès heyday, she really embraced it.
Hermès Ostrich Birkin
Sometimes she color-coordinated her entire outfit to it.
Hermès Birkin
Speaking of color-coordination: I like what’s going on with all the elements of this outfit.
Hermès Shoulder Birkin
The Shoulder (or JPG) Birkin is rarely spotted these days, but here’s a photo of one in the wild.
Hermès Crocodile Birkin
Wearing a big fur and a crocodile Birkin with jeans is a very old-school Posh Spice move.
Hermès Himalayan Crocodile Birkin
Of course Victoria has one of these.
Hermès Kelly
Just because she loves Birkins doesn’t mean Victoria doesn’t also love Kellys. She does.
Hermès Kelly
She loves them in both brights and neutrals.
Hermès Kelly Pochette
In all shapes and sizes, too.
Hermès Travel Kelly
And we mean ALL sizes.
Hermès Multicolor Kelly
Why have just one color leather on a Kelly when you can have three or more?
Hermès Suede Kelly Pochette
See? Posh loves a color-match.
Hermès Vinage Toile and Leather Kelly
It’s rare to see Victoria with a bag that looks worn-in; she has too many bags and too many handlers to care for them to wear one in on her own.
Victoria Beckham Hexagonal Chain Bag
$2,995 via Net-a-Porter
Now, back to more carrying of bags like a model sprung free from the runway.
Victoria Beckham Hexagonal Chain Shoulder Bag
$2,995 via Net-a-Porter
I think it fascinates me so much because you can only do it if you have people on staff to take care of literally everything around you so that you can walk through life untouched and constantly posed. (I wish I had the same, honestly, because this outfit is gorgeous.)
Jimmy Choo Marin Clutch
Shop via Jimmy Choo
Considering how she goes about carrying her bags now, it should come as no surprise that Victoria has long been a fan of the daytime clutch.
Jimmy Choo Marin Clutch
Shop via Jimmy Choo
She liked this particular one so much that she had it in two colors.
Jimmy Choo Rio Clutch
Shop via Jimmy Choo
I wish it were physically possible for Old Posh and New Victoria to meet because I think it would be hilarious.
Victoria Beckham Laser-Cut Zip Pouch
Shop Victoria Beckham via Net-a-Porter
A nice thing about owning your own clothing line is everything fits you like a glove.
Victoria Beckham Leopard Simple Tote
$2,650 via Net-a-Porter
A camel coat and a little bit of leopard is a very solid airport ensemble.
Victoria Beckham Liberty Tote
$1,650 via Net-a-Porter
Motherhood is often not glamorous, even for the rich and famous.
Loewe Paloma Bag
Shop Loewe via Neiman Marcus
I genuinely hope Victoria asked her stylist to dress her up like a dominatrix spy here.
Victoria Beckham Mini Shoulder Bag
$1,175 via THE OUTNET
It would be nice to have your own wardrobe of bags made to your exacting stipulations and ready for any situation, wouldn’t it?
Victoria Beckham Plaid Liberty Tote
Shop Victoria Beckham via Net-a-Porter
I mean, I think it would be.
This is the only bag in Victoria’s collection we couldn’t conclusively identify, but I’m betting it’s from her own line.
Victoria Beckham Quincy Tote
$1,575 via Net-a-Porter
Getting kids through the airport is always a whole to-do, even if you’re Victoria.
Victoria Beckham Seven Satchel
$3,195 via Net-a-Porter
Not only was 7 her husband’s number in soccer, but it’s also her daughter’s middle name.
Victoria Beckham Small Zip Pouch
$750 via Net-a-Porter
These days, Victoria usually doesn’t carry a bag when out and about with handlers, and when she does, it’s one of these little clutches from her own line.
Victoria Beckham Chain Tote
$2,350 via Net-a-Porter
Most of Victoria’s line is very structured; this soft little shoulder bag is the exception.
I don’t think this suitcase was ever produced for public consumption, but I do believe Victoria’s brand created it. (I could be wrong. It’s happened before.)
Valentino Glamorous Tote
Shop Valentino via Neiman Marcus
Victoria went through a phase where she dressed like a movie villain at the airport for a little while, and I really wish she were still in that phase.
Valextra Crocodile Carita Bag
Shop Valextra via Barneys
That giant Travel Kelly we showed you earlier? Vicky B. carried it with another large, exotic bag.
Victoria Beckham Victoria Satchel
Shop Victoria Beckham via Net-a-Porter
Victoria will also do her model-carrying with big bags, but it doesn’t work quite as well.
Victoria Beckham Zip Pouch

She really, really loves these little clutches.

I have been waiting YEARS for this. Now I am finally at peace, having found a meaningful purpose in life….STALKING VB’S BAGS!!!
HAHAHAHA this really made me laugh!!
This should be renamed the many birkins of VB actually
…the many Birkins and other bags
I love her style,bags and everything about her… Including her husband
Love everything about her, including her husband
I’m actually surprised it took you so long to make this article about her
OMG:) LOve them ALL!
I Have to admit! I love the Bags but I love the Husband more!!! Best accessory of VB!
I love victoria and purseblog
That white Kelly is way too big for her! She should probably make her assistant carry it.
gimana cara launch nya?
Why oh why can’t i launch gallery??? 🙁
I can’t see the gallery. Please fix! I’m dying to see the bags!!

Cant launch gallery

Hello, love your site. Sofia Vergara’s gallery isn’t working either.
I can’t launch the gallery can you guys fix it
Still can’t launch the gallery.
Why can’t I launch the gallery???
I can’t view the gallery! What’s wrong?
there’s no link to view the gallery 🙁
Is the gallery up? 🙁
She’s so emaciate it scares me. Sorry, I know that’s off topic.
Great bags. My eyes can’t get enough of all those perfectly made Birkins. And her style is amazing too. But still I’m sorry that she looks anorexic.
THE JPG SUCH A COOL BAG !
The older pictures of her are hilarious, she probably cringes at some of the looks, bags though by enlarge r pretty.
That travel kelly is legit one of the stupidest things I have ever seen… and I have seen many, many, many mind mindbogglingly stupid things. I legit sat and stared for a full 10 minutes arguing with myself that it has to be a photoshop. Nobody with that much money would carry something that unwieldy and ugly. But I was wrong. I need to lie down for a while.
She has got some of the best bag collections I have ever seen on anyone (of course this all happened before the other fashion houses started to send their pieces to the Kardashian). The later years show how much she has changed in her style and now she is more classy than ever, this certainly reflects on her own designs.
If she only carries her own brand now, I will volunteer to take all her other bags off her hands… just so she can make room in her closet. 🙂
I really love reading the commentary on these posts. 😀
I believe the large bag in slide 45 was made with the Goyard bag Victoria carried prior as inspiration.
Also, the suitcase was in fact produced. I remember seeing it on Net a Porter and I think it retailed for 4K+
Love the designer VB. Not the old VB. She’s so impeccably stylish.

I love to see how her style has evolved over the years, she went from a WAG-ish-not too classy style to absolutely im-pe-cca-ble!!! She is in my top five that’s for sure!! And she has a wicked sense of humour, which is even better!
As much as I love what she wears and carries, I cannot help but think that it must be exhausting to be Victoria Beckham, for some reason.
Slide 18 – Ah, the infamous matching Birkin, Roland Mouret dress and YSL tribtoos. I remember it perfectly because at the time, I thought ‘how on earth is she walking on grass in those heels?!’
Slide 45 was based on the vintage Goyard bag she was carrying through the airport which she bought at auction. Goyard actually contacted her so they could buy it from her since they didn’t actually have it in their archive but she turned them down. They did the next best thing, designing the same bag but with some input from Victoria herself (supposedly). Both bags by Goyard and Victoria’s fashion house are now called the Victoria.
I have to say, my favourite look here is slide 44. Seeing her in jeans and not too overthought style-wise is refreshing. Very chic.
Very nice.. I really love her style evolution
I am quite certain I know more abt VB bags than anyone except maybe her. Slide 40 is just called a “shoulder bag.” There’s one available on Yoox right now.
My next mission, owning one of her bag. 🙂
I love everything VB! Here is a particular favorite of mine which you may have missed 🙂
Loewe Calle in GORG OSTRICH! Love this bag so much!
