There is nothing mundane or provincial about fashion designer, Valentino, who was/is much coveted by socialites and celebrities, or both, such as Jackie Kennedy Onassis. It seems that whatever he creates, it is bound to look like IT was only meant to be vacationing in Monte Carlo or the French Riviera. In Valentino world, is a satchel a satchel? No, it’s an elevated version of a satchel. The version that conveys the wearer from pedestrian to singular. I am not sure what is the recipe for success, but I can write assuredly that, partially, it has to do with the structural integrity of the handbags coupled with feminized touches. Even the tote, pictured here in the middle, carries an undeniable unrightness rather than languish into a typical slouch. Setting it off is a bow and nothing more. The bag is haughty in its position of couture correctness that, probably, it would be offended by more ornamentation than that mere bow.
