Louet Victoria Carrying Case

Details

The Louet Victoria Carrying Case is the factory-made padded bag for the Victoria folding spinning wheel. It is built around the wheel's folded footprint, with internal padding sized to the Victoria's specific dimensions, a front pouch for bobbins and small accessories, and adjustable backpack straps so the whole package can be worn over both shoulders.

The case holds the folded Victoria wheel along with three bobbins and the wheel's lazy kate, keeping everything together for travel between home, classes, fiber retreats, and guild meetings. Strong zippers, dense foam padding, top handles, and dual backpack straps protect the wheel in transit and stay comfortable to carry once loaded.

Louet builds the case in the Netherlands to match the wheel's exact dimensions, which is the practical reason most Victoria owners choose the factory bag over a generic luggage piece. Nothing inside shifts in transit, and the bobbin pouch is laid out for Louet's bobbins specifically.

What's Included

• One padded Victoria carrying case with top handles and adjustable backpack straps
• Internal padding fitted to the folded Victoria wheel
• External front pouch sized for three bobbins and a lazy kate, plus extra space for fiber and small accessories

When the Factory Case Earns Its Slot

The Victoria's value proposition is travel: it folds, it weighs about 8 lb, and the case is what turns those properties into a portable kit. Most Victoria owners who travel with the wheel choose the factory case for three reasons.

• Fit. The internal compartments match the wheel's folded shape and the Louet bobbin dimensions, so the wheel does not shift inside the bag during transport.
• Capacity. The case holds the folded wheel plus three bobbins and the lazy kate together, so the full spinning setup moves in one bag rather than two or three.
• Carry options. The dual backpack straps make a difference on longer walks (parking lots, festival grounds, airport terminals) compared to a single shoulder strap or hand handle alone.

A generic duffel or laptop backpack can technically transport the wheel, but the mother-of-all and orifice region are exposed to whatever else is in the bag. Spinners who plan to fly with the Victoria, or to commute to weekly guild meetings, typically end up with the factory case eventually.

Compatibility

The case is designed for both the lacquered beech Victoria S95 and the lacquered oak Victoria S96. Both Victoria generations fold to the same external dimensions, so the same case fits both wood variants.

The wheel must be in its folded configuration to fit. The Victoria fold takes a few minutes and is documented in the wheel's manual.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the Victoria in this case fit in an airline overhead bin?

The bag exterior measures roughly 22 x 15 x 9 In, which fits most domestic overhead bins but runs about an inch wider than the strictest US carry-on rule, which is typically 22 x 14 x 9 In. The folded wheel itself weighs about 8 lb. Confirm with your specific airline before flying, since policies vary by carrier and route.

Does the case fit both the Beech S95 and the Oak S96 Victoria?

Yes. Both Victoria wood variants fold to the same external dimensions, so a single case design fits both.

Can I leave the wheel partially assembled in the bag?

No. The case is built around the Victoria's fully folded footprint. The flyer and bobbins are removed and the wheel is folded before it goes in the bag.
