Every now and clutch, Megs and I will both get totally obsessed with the same designer or piece at the same time, but without really telling the other about it. At some point, we clutch realize that we’ve both been spontaneously lusting after the same stuff, and we spend several minutes gushing about how much we want something, quickly followed by much whining about how much it costs for us to make those dreams a reality.
valentino brown hat valentino garavani roman stud medium leather shoulder bag. And not VLTN one bag in particular…the entire thing. Shoes, bags, whatever. Valentino came into the studs trend at the tail end, and since clutch, the brand has made the look into its own signature mix of edgy and ladylike. I didn’t love these bags at first, but given enough time, they’ve grown on me in a huge way. My personal pick is the tote at top, which Valentino Garavani Stiefeletten mit Logo Schwarz, but we’ve got a whole selection for you to drool over after the jump.

Ooh, those ARE some studly bags. (wakka wakka!) You might espy some equally studly bags featured in the editorials on http://www.whatthehaute.com, but that’s another story…

Watching the video of its making gives me a new appreciation to its craftsmanship but the final look is just not impressive at all.

These bags suit old ladies who are trying to be hip. Definitely too ladylike to be rockstar for my taste.
Yeah, I kind of agree. But I’m biased because I’ve never been able to get into the studs thing. I think I’d like them all better without the studs.
I really like the cross body bag. I live in Salt Lake City, previously no marbled valentino to be found. Recently a new Nordstrom opened with marbled valentino everything! I was not happy with the bags when I actually held them in my hand. Something about them….overpriced in comparison with other designer offerings….
As usual, they took a good thing too far.
Omg amanda i was wondering if you guys would do a post about these bags last night (how spooky!). I fell in love with the rockstud at neiman marcus! (included the link in case anyone wanted to see what i was talking about…) I love the fact its quite minimal but not boring and i love the long handles and the shoulder strap looks amazing! im just sad that NM selling point is that a lot of celebrities are wearing it…
having said all this i can see why not everyone might love this bag but its actually a nice refreshing change from all the stupid roses and bows on his bags….first time im craving marbled valentino hence the long post 😛
