When Valentino himself retired from designing his eponymous line, I was a little concerned. Who, after all, can replace an icon? The current designers, Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli, however worked under the man himself designing accessories, and their designs haven’t disrupted the continuity of his legacy, at least in terms of accessories.
This Leopard Print Goat Hair bag is pure Valentino: strong, feminine, luxurious, and totally timeless. Let’s be honest, if you’re the kind of woman who’s going to carry a leopard print goat skin bag, you always wil, trends be damned. Well congratulations, you’re probably a style icon too.
This hobo is completely to die for. Except the giant leather bow detail, which, frankly, I think detracts from the pure animal magnetism of the bag itself. But the bow’s only on one side, so you can just flip it around or have it removed. It isn’t a dealbreaker, as far as I’m concerned.
The slim taupe leather handles give the bag great asymmetry, and their color goes well with the overall print. The generous size ensures that it will make a great everyday bag, but I seriously doubt that you’ll be abandoning it for evening. Another bonus is the use of goat skin, which has all the luxurious texture of other stiff furs, without the over-the-top price tag.
Not that this bag is cheap. It’s a designer bag at a designer price ($2,695), but well worth it for the amount of attention that it will draw.
