Choosing a fashionable and stylish bag is not an easy task. I would like this accessory to emphasize the style and indicate the delicate taste of the owner. Of the many brands that are distinguished by their special style, Valentino bags are very popular with modern fashionistas. True connoisseurs of the Fashion House will recognize these accessories at a glance, and today we will meet them.

The style of the great Italian couturier is recognizable, these bags are the subject of admiring glances of others. Despite the fact that the designer himself left the business in 2008, brand accessories continue to amaze fans of the company with a craving for perfect femininity.

Such accessories are good in romantic dresses, they look graceful in sophisticated evening ensembles. Whatever the created image, they will bring notes of aristocracy and charm to it.
The range of models is so diverse that it will delight even the most capricious fashionistas. The collection presents models for every taste: from strict classics to luxurious forms.
A wide range of models allows you to expand the circle of fans of the brand.
Brand accessories reflect modern fashion trends and have a special decor. In any collection, luxury, premiumness are praised and an atmosphere of special celebration is created.
Engaged in the development of models, the brand uses high-quality components and expensive accessories. This technique allows you to extend the service life of products and increases their durability in operation.
The production uses genuine leather, suede and textiles.
Brand products are easy to use. They have a clear organization of the internal space in the interior. This adds an advantage to models, and a woman gets rid of unnecessary fuss, because all the necessary things are in separate compartments and, if necessary, are always at hand.
Color schemes
The shades of the palette of branded bags are diverse. They exude nobleness and purity of color. These are soft but deep tones, pleasing to the eye. In addition to the classic white, gray, black and beige shades, the brand is always in search of fresh colors.
The palette resembles the seasons: spring is a time of tenderness and feelings, summer is a bright passion and a whirlwind of emotions, autumn is a changeable mood, and winter is a cold luxury.
In each series, the company offers its own shades:
- the pastel range consists of delicate powdery, cream, heavenly, pink, mint, peach, turquoise and yellow colors;
- the bright palette includes sensual and noble tones: red, burgundy, emerald, fuchsia, juicy greens and orange;
- neutral shades include terracotta, coral, brown and sand paints;
- The group of practical dark tones includes black, dark purple, black and blue, smoky, chocolate color.
There are no acid and flashy colors in the color palette: they are devoid of femininity. The brand adheres to the rule: the softness of the shade should be harmonious to blend perfectly with different clothes. Even the gold color present in the palette looks natural and harmonious.
Prints
In addition to bags made in one tone, the company offers its customers products with prints. These are unusual monochrome and multi-colored compositions presented in geometric and abstract themes, as well as stripes, floral motifs, animalistic colors to the skin of animals and reptiles.
Compared to other brands, there are not so many patterns, but they are distinguished by a special gloss, and colors under the skin of animals - by the realistic color and texture.
Decor
The luxury of the models is explained by a skillful design approach to creating each bag. Any product places emphasis on the premium quality of the material, which is emphasized with the help of bright metal fittings of “expensive” shades of gold or silver.
In almost all models, couturiers of the company decorate accessories with a variety of buckles, compositions with magnets (in the form of an angle, heart, rectangle), key chains, rivets, chains, spikes and metal rhinestones.
A frequent decoration of the bag is the logo of the brand in the form of the letter V or the full name of the brand Valentino Garavani.
Often the design uses a duet with an unusual texture of the material and gold trim, peculiar ruffles, frills, wide belts with ornaments, beads and sparkling brooches, consisting of crystals, rhinestones.
Some items are decorated with beads and sequins.
An interesting technique for decoration is the texture of the material. Leather bags can be made of smooth, embossed leather, with a print, embossing or embossed pattern under the skin of reptiles. The design often uses matte and patent leather with a noble gloss. Quilted models with the addition of tetrahedral spikes of a smoothed shape also look interesting.
Models
Brand products are considered the pride of any women's wardrobe. They are incredibly stylish and comfortable. These accessories are pleasant and clear in shape, with soft outlines.
The styles of bags are varied. The basis of the collection consists of structural models with a frame and a rigid form. They can be miniature, medium in size and roomy.
Products are intended for a specific case, although in the rulers there are often universal accessories that perfectly complete any bow.
The shape of the model is similar to a rectangle, a trapezoid, a dome, a square and a semicircle. By volume, accessories can be flat or wide. The main part of the collection of this season is made in medium and small size.
Elegance comes into fashion, so the voluminous styles of bags today have faded into the background.
Today, the list of popular Valentino models includes:
- clutch (a flat miniature handbag in the traditional version without a strap and chain, as well as on a thin long belt);
- minodyer (an alternative to a clutch, only of a rigid form and more like a box);
- messenger (a messenger bag or a model in the form of a rectangle, square with a long belt and a flap; usually fastens with a magnet);
- bag (structural model with short, but comfortable handles, good capacity, volume and organization of the internal space);
- tote (accessory for purchases in the form of a square or shape of a package, laconic style, fastened with a button or zipper);
- small sports bags (outwardly not different from strict classical models, accessories in the form of a rectangle with medium-sized handles and an additional belt freeing your hands);
- tablet (a flat model of a square shape with a minimum of decor and a long strap for socks over the shoulder);
- shopper (a capacious bag for purchases with hands of convenient length for carrying over the shoulder, larger than a toot);
- bag-bucket (round-shaped model, with a large load changing the appearance);
- bag-bag (the middle option between the bag and the backpack, characterized by the presence of a drawstring instead of a zipper);
- Dome bag (dome-shaped model with a rounded top, comfortable handles for carrying over the shoulder).
In addition, styles can have one handle and complemented by a long removable strap. Some varieties of miniature bags are elegant pouches on the ring, made of soft leather in the same tone or with a discreet print.
Other accessories are made with the possibility of transformation: clutches with a metal handle can be conveniently folded for socks in the hands, and if necessary, can increase in size. This is convenient if you suddenly need to put an unexpected extra item in your bag.
A feature of many models are metal spikes. Spiked models form the basis of the collection. The tetrahedral spikes are located above the fastener, surround the valve, the bottom and side faces of the bags, the front side of the belt.
One of the tricks is the use of spikes on the verge of two contrasting parts: in this case, the spikes smooth the change of colors.
Regardless of the size of the accessories, good functionality and aesthetics, they are durable, therefore, have a long service life. In order for the fasteners to be reliable, in addition to stitches, the brand uses metal elements, fixing them on top of the sewn parts.
How to distinguish an original from a fake?
Today Valentino is one of the most recognizable and popular brands, therefore, he could not avoid the appearance of all kinds of copies and outright fakes. This damages the reputation of the company and changes the attitude towards its accessories.
What the brand pays a lot of attention is rarely worthy of the copies. In order for the purchase to succeed and not turn out to be a fake, it is worth listening to a few tips from managers working with official Valentino suppliers:
- Before you buy a branded bag, you should visit the official website of the brand and choose a model in order to subsequently have a true idea of it.
- The hallmark of the brand bag are metal spikes of a pyramidal shape. Almost always, they ideally match in size (with the exception of several models with a special design) and differ in the minimum distance between them.
- The external logo of the Valentino Garavani branded accessory is always present on the bag: it can be printed on the product itself or placed on a leather patch. Its color is always identical to the shade of the metal finish. As a rule, this is a complete coincidence of the color of the writing of letters and metal spikes.
- The red logo, which is located inside the accessory, is located strictly in the center of the back and is sewn on all four sides.Depending on the model of the accessory, it may vary somewhat and have the inscription Made in Italy under the brand name.
- Over the past few years, struggling with fake products, the brand has supplemented each model with a serial number. Thanks to the special patented leather, the print of the number is clear and precise. The color of the leather fragment is in contrast with the tone and finish of the bag.
- The quality of execution and the components of the original are always on top. Fake products do not use expensive raw materials. Therefore, it is different in appearance. There are no scratches, scuffs, dents on the delusional bag, it is impeccable.
In addition, before buying, you should pay attention to the cost of the accessory. She will never be low and alluring. The production uses expensive materials and decor, so you should not count on a purchase of two to three thousand: the price of a branded bag reaches several tens of thousands. Luxury copies are 6,000 - 10,000 rubles.
