Handbag with original inscription from Queen Victoria
Description
The handbag edition “Viva Victoria No. 1” with a handwritten letter from Queen Victoria of England was handmade in a limited worldwide edition of SEKRÈ mystery bags of only 33 pieces in Germany. Each pocket of this edition contains an original part of a letter from the monarch dated November 1855 in a hidden place. We cut up this rare artifact under notarial supervision, secured the individual pieces in acrylic panels and incorporated them into our handbags. Each bag is accompanied by a glossy photo of the complete document.
The artifact: Viva Victoria No.1
As the mother of the country, Victoria was involved in many political and social issues and also showed a keen interest in military policy. Henry Lord Harbinge was commander-in-chief of the British army during the Crimean War. In her letter of November 26, 1855, the Queen praised the Field Marshal for his excellent reports from the front, which she had read with great interest.

To emphasize the high value, we have the logo plate on the clasp made of solid sterling silver (925 fineness) and polished by hand in a silver manufactory. Each silver plate is marked with a hallmark.
Handmade in Germany: Many bag manufacturers, even premium brands, have their products produced in the Far East for cost reasons. Often only the name is authentic. SEKRÈ has its bags produced by hand in Germany. This is significantly more expensive, but also more honest. It also ensures that we have decades of craftsmanship expertise and outstanding quality – ‘Made in Germany’.

After all, anyone who buys a luxury handbag wants to enjoy it for a long time. SEKRÈ will remain true to this line with future models for various occasions.
