Victoria Beckham has shared a glimpse of Spice Girls stamps and fans might be more than a little intrigued about the sneak peek.
As many of us wrap up in our best winter coats and accessories and brave the cold, Victoria Beckham has brought some much-need sunshine to January with her latest post. The fashion designer has shared a tantalising glimpse of some Spice Girls stamps that have really got people talking. Whether you were a fan at the height of the group’s fame or not, the Spice Girls have a significant place in history.
Now some people will no doubt be wondering if the Spice Girl stamps Victoria Beckham revealed are real and - if so - how to buy them. With anticipation building we have all the details following Victoria’s Instagram post.
Are the Spice Girls stamps real?
Fans might be forgiven for wondering whether the new Spice Girl stamps are legitimate or not amid all the excitement but they are real. Victoria Beckham took to Instagram on 9th January to celebrate the announcement of the new commemorative stamps and included a sneak peek of some of the designs, starting with one featuring her. Bearing her legendary Spice Girls moniker ‘Posh Spice’, a throwback picture of Victoria from the girl group’s heyday features on her commemorative stamp.
All of the new Spice Girls stamps have a vibrant pink background and Victoria expressed how “honoured” she was to be featured on the stamps and sent her “kisses” to her fellow Spice Girls.
“Honoured to be the first girl group to be featured on a commemorative stamp and so proud of everything we’ve achieved @SpiceGirls!!” she wrote. “Thank you to my family, friends and all of our fans around the world for the love and support! Kisses @EmmaLeeBunton @OfficialMelB @GeriHalliwellHorner @MelanieCMusic xx”.
Many of the other Spice Girls have also posted over the past week about the Royal Mail’s Spice Girls stamps being issued, including Gerri Halliwell-Horner and Emma Bunton.
Why are there Spice Girls stamps?
Even if the exciting announcement of the Spice Girls stamps has come as a surprise to you then the reason for them being released is something you’re probably well aware of. The Spice Girls stamps are in tribute to the group’s 30 year anniversary and as Victoria explained in her special social media shout-out, this marks the first time a girl group has been featured on an entire Royal Mail stamp issue.
This makes the release all the more significant and exciting and there are plenty of designs to choose from if you do want to pick up one of the commemorative stamps.
How many Spice Girls stamps are there?
The Royal Mail have issued a set of 15 stamps, as per the BBC, to mark the pop sensation but overall on their website there are 31 items within the Spice Girls stamp range that you can buy. There are ten main stamps which feature images from their performances with many iconic moments featured, including Geri Halliwell-Horner wearing her Union Jack dress at the 1997 Brit Awards and Victoria Beckham at Madison Square Gardens in 2008 during The Return of the Spice Girls tour.
As well as the stamps themselves you can also buy a set of 16 postcards featuring enlarged pictures featured on the stamps, a Spice Girls special edition envelope and other products.
