Valentino “Side Bow Zip Top Satchel”


Valentino Side Bow Zip Top Satchel   ValentinoSide Bow Zip Top Satchel

So, I’m browsing the Bergdorf Goodman NY Holiday Handbags and this is what I encounter. I really do not know where to start. I actually like Valentino, I really do, which only made it worse when I saw this bag. This is something I would never, ever expect from that designer house.

First of all, let’s cover the bow detail. The bow detail is perfectly fine usually, it suits Valentino’s black Nuage perfectly! Adds that little bit of i’m-special effect to it. But this is definitely NOT a bag you would even consider adding any bow details. It looks deformed at the least and it looks way too static, practicaly dead. It gave me chills, honestly.

The shape of this bag is too simple to even remember it, I had to go back to the tab it was open in a few times acctually. The only thing I will remember about this bag is the scary bow on the front. Not even the colors are appealing. You can choose from two colors; brown and red. Brown is the color I usually like, but they picked a shade of brown that makes this bag look like a bag you would only imagine your grandmother carrying. And the red, or at least they call it red because it looks more of a strong pink or cheap red is definitely not suitable for nor complementing this shape.

I really do not know what point they wanted to get across. Obviously it is supposed to be a day bag, but I do not know who would like to carry this bag in broad daylight. I really do not feel nice writing like this about Valentino’s bag, but you can’t ignore the fact that this bag was better off not making it to the production.

SIZE: 10″ x 14,5″ x 5″

PRICE: $1795,00 @ BergdorfGoodman.com

Hey Vivienne,

Thanks for the comment.

To each their own :) the fact that I didn’t personally like the bag does not mean that someone else won’t like it, and if you ask me, that is exactly the way it should be. The world would quickly become a very dull place if we all liked the same stuff ;) Tina and I often have very emotional disagreements about some bags. She loves some bags I am not able to look at for more than a second and vice versa, it just makes it more fun.

Having said that, which other bags we have covered do you like and/or dislike?

:)

I agree! I love this bag! Unfortunately no one has it in stock anymore. Apparently it sold out at Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf. First time I have ever actually considered a bag this expensive…now I can’t find it! Anyone know where I can find this bag, either color is fine.
