I wish that Valentino was a label that I could rely on. Honestly, I don’t expect much of it anymore, so I was extremely pleased to see this gorgeous rosette embellished clutch. It’s everything that Valentino was known for in the past: elegant, feminine, and uncluttered.
It might be confusing that I call this bag “uncluttered”, since it is literally covered in satin rosettes. But what I mean is that the design is uncluttered and coherent. The subtle graduated coloring of the rosettes simultaneously draws your attention and also adds to the subtlety. Plus, the pink, green, and black color palette is muted and chic.
The shape of the bag is simple, which is why it’s successful. It allows the beauty of the rosettes to shine through without weighing you down with too many distractions. Ordinarily I might not like the addition of the large black bow, but I think it adds a certain edgy asymmetry that is crucial to the design of the bag.
At $1,295, I’m not crazy about the price, but I think that its beauty might just be worth it.
