Undoubtedly, the Victoria travel bag up for auction gains even greater significance due to its distinctive orange hue. Hermès’ orange, known as Orange H or Orange Boîte, is a warm, vibrant, and luminous shade that lies between pure orange and a subtle reddish tint. Unlike fluorescent or overly saturated oranges, it possesses great depth and elegance, conveying a sense of energy, optimism, and sophistication. Its chromatic balance makes it immediately recognizable and serves as a true symbol of the French maison’s identity. Hermès adopted it for its iconic boxes beginning in 1942, making it one of the most iconic corporate colors in the luxury world ever since. The brand itself defines it as the “vibrant color” of its iconic box.
