I know it’s a cliché, but God, I love Valentino. This line has been the definition of raffi’nato (refined) for decades, and this trend shows no signs of abating despite the tragic retirement of the man himself. This beaded satin clutch is exactly in line with what I’m talking about.
Who would have thought that goldtone coral embellishments and silver rhinestones would make for such elegance? Without the photographic evidence, it sounds like a Disneyfied nightmare. But this clutch takes exactly those elements and makes them chic and luxurious.
Gaudy? Sure, maybe a little. But it’s Italian, so it’s okay by me if Valentino goes a little overboard. This is not the clutch for a shrinking violet. This is the kind of bag that only a woman with a very strong sense of her own personal style can carry, or else it will overwhelm everything around it.
I love the cascade of coral and the simple pillow shape. I also love that it comes with a chain strap, which would just take it up a notch in terms of glam. The thing I don’t love is the $3,335 price tag. Seriously? It’s a recession. Someone tell Fashion.
