This is Valentino’s big new bag, not big as in size but big as in their push to have an iconic piece. All I can think of is what late adopters they are to the stud trend. It’s like when your mother gets on a trend you know it is way past it’s prime. It’s the same feeling young folk have about their parents on Facebook. There is also another notable oddity, this is kinda just half a bag, the straps attach to a longer back side and the opening reminds me of a Murphy bed. It’s more of an insert for a much larger bag as perhaps, a filing system. I suppose the studs can easily be removed going forward but the design leaves me feeling empty and incomplete. But Valentino does have an older clientele (Rolling Stones fans who appreciate the has-been rocker look) so this might be a hit for them! At Saks Fifth Avenue for $1595 for the leather. Available in a big assortment of colors and skins.
