I accidentally packed the leather purse below the Rockstud. Though the Valentino was wrapped in paper and a cushy dust bag, it proved to not be enough. Most of the collection featured structured flap bags of varying sizes. Some featured a convertible gold chain while others were finished with a leather shoulder strap.

I'm 5ft 4 myself and around a UK 8 in dress size, and as you can see from the modelled photos, it's pretty much the perfect size for me, which I am pleased about. I think the Small might have been too large, despite its name. There's also different hardware colours ranging from gold, silver, and gunmetal, to complement the different leather colours. Anytime anyone looks at the Lock bag, they're smitten! www.valentinobagsale.com I can't fault how gorgeous it looks.

Practical Valentino Garavani handbag in black python, hardware in gilt metal, one strap in black python Valentino Bags allowing the bag to be worn in the hand or on the shoulder. One square mouth fastener. The VLTN Spike shoulder bag from Valentino Garavani exemplifies the collection's rock inspiration. Quilted leather featuring a diamond design is decorated with the Italian fashion house's name.

The bag is designed to be worn in 3 different ways too, you can wear it cross-body with the long strap, you can double it up and wear it as a shoulder bag, or you can remove the chain all together and wear it as a clutch. I love that it has multiple wearing options, and that the chain is easily removed just by un-clipping it.

Pierpaolo Piccioli, like the rest of us, had a lot of extra time on his hands throughout his time spent in quarantining Italy, though he never stopped working which he told Vogue when discussing his resort 2021 collection for Valentino. The collection as a whole posses a modern yet quintessentially Valentino feel.
