Upon first impression, this looks like your standard gorgeous, Rockstud-bedecked Valentino bag. In reality, it’s so much more – with a genius design. Deftly constructed with a slim silhouette, this compact crossbody features a removable pouch that makes up the slender back portion of the bag. Add a second zipper compartment, as well as the accessible front pocket, and you’ve got an incredible degree of functionality stealthily presented in a neat and luxurious package.
All the comfort and constant ease of an über-practical bag plus the brand’s iconic Rockstud styling (which is basically never, ever going out of style, by the way) equals a home-run purchase. But it’s the final touch of that removable pouch feature that makes this truly unique. Carry it alone as a clutch when you aren’t feeling like wearing a strapped style, and take the whole thing on trips for a versatile, two-bags-in-one staple. Valentino Rockstud crossbody on MATCHESFASHION.COM for $1,775.
Pair with: Chunky, ‘90s-inspired lace-up boots are seeing a renaissance this fall, and McQ Alexander McQueen’s pair has plenty of attitude to spare. On NET-A-PORTER for $820.
Bag’s really nice but the boots are a no-go, unless you plan on signing up for the armed forces.
