From the easy glamour of St. Tropez to the breezy elegance of Capri to the surf-and-sun fun of Bondi Beach, summer style can take on all kinds of vibes. This Valentino bag has a distinctively summery feel, one that’s more Southampton than South Beach.
Crisp and clean with a splash of East-Coast prep (it’s all about the combo of creamy off-white and cognac leather), the classic shape is sophisticated, while a loose cage of contrasting natural leather trim takes it from boredom to stardom. Details like these are both bold and quiet: luxury at its best. And it wouldn’t be Valentino without that extra spark: the tiny touches of studded hardware – their current signature touch (gone are the big bows, thank you!) – at the closure and on the panels bring a hit of flash. So you can take this bag from Malibu to Montauk to Marbella and everywhere in between, all summer long. On Net-a-Porter for $2,595.
Pair with: This an ideal bag for injecting some denim sandals with a high level of chic. Bottega Veneta does it right, with dark indigo and a fresh wooden outsole. Bottega Veneta Denim and Leather Sandals, $740.
Summer loving, Me loving. This is a really cute bag.
