Valentino Kaleidoscope Stone Tote | Gray Satin Metallic Handbag

Posted on: Jun 13

Just another note in the Valentino is awesome file, the new Valentino Kaleidoscope Stone Tote has begun racking up a waiting list of pre-orders for fall 09.

The gradient stones that cover ever inch of the gray satin tote give the illusion of mirrors the way they catch the light. A slight ombre effect adds to the metallic shine. Nothing could have made this bag tacky faster than too sparkly rhinestones, but the ones chosen are absolutely perfect in their varying shapes, sizes and colors.

Again we are faced with the dilemma of the over-the-top fancy tote. We love them so but where would we wear them? Perhaps those with the very fanciest of lifestyles, which afford them $3,000 bags such as this, could wear something like this to lunch.

The texture of the bag, while visually stunning, would probably be another practical pitfall if we were concerned with such things as practicality when it came to Valentino bags.

So, another art piece we'd love to look at all day long, and certainly show off to the whole world, but would have difficulty actually executing.
