Victoria creates structured bags by hand and machine sewing using contemporary fabrics, with a design nod to the past. For her show, Victoria will bring evening bags, clutches, totes, “doctor” bags, and smaller accessories including wallets and eyeglass cases.

After working in NYC for American artist Andy Warhol and then later as a designer for J Crew, Victoria’s passion for art and fashion grew into her own dress line. She relocated to Charlottesville in 1995. Her dress business evolved into Victoria Horner Creative Handbags, which has been her focus since 1997.
