Don’t get me wrong I’ve been a Valentino fan for years, and that is why I receive their online boutique e-mail from time to time. I was excited to link onto the 40% off newsletter but was soon gasping at how some of these bags could possibly bear the legendary label. The black and white cow looking tote, for example, resembles a lunch box that could practically”moo” off the screen. Then there’s the tacky green patent leather tote with the diamante cheetah chain embellishment–there is just so many things wrong with this bag that I don’t think there’s even a way to salvage it. Would someone please tell me which direction the Valentino design team is going because they seem almost schizophrenic–one minute they create these gorgeous intricate bags and the next minute I find these outdated and overpriced items on their website? The patent leather cheetah bag is now $1497 after 40% off and the “cow” bag is now $777 after the 40% discount at the Valentino online boutique.
Coming from someone that likes the Coach Kristin bag I am surprised that you can hate on the Valentino Cheetah. I have a gray one and I think it is one of my best bags. I feel comfortable carrying it with my little kids and the cheetah is perfect!
How are the Coach Kristin and this Valentino similar to each other. I don’t get the comparison. Also, it was Tina that wrote about liking the Coach bag, not Stephanie. Maybe Stephanie doesn’t like the Coach bag, or maybe she does. Either way, I don’t see what it has to do with the bags she’s talking about here.
Just trying to make sure we don’t put words in the poster’s mouth.
These are so bag, even if they 80% off, no takers here….I loved the VALENTINO label, esp their dresses, but this is a mess and it is just plain UGLY!
And yet… you did link to their 40% discount, if only to trash the bags!
ugh…Valentino is so touch and go, but check out these gorgeous beauties!

@Ursula. I’m not saying there is any similarity between the Coach Kristin bag and the Valentino. I am just saying that I’m not going to take this review seriously because the mere fact that they like the Kristin bag shows me how questionable their taste is.
The shoes on the website are totally worth the price – I bought boots and pumps that are so well made. Have to agree on some of the bags and wallets – the patent leather makes them look a bit cheap online. But then, I hate patent leather on anyone older than 11.
