Angelina and Zahara’s matching Valentino Handbags
9.7.2007 | by Megs | under: Celebrity Style , Valentino Handbags
We all know Angelina Jolie loves her Valentino Braided Leather Shoulder Bag. Not only does Angie love it, but now Zahara does also. While carrying Princess Z around NYC, the mother-daughter-duo sported chic style and matching designer handbags. Now I am not always a fan of matchy-matchy, but in this scenario it is so perfect I am completely drawn in and dead set on getting matching bags for my kids, my friends kids, my grandchildren, etc. Angelina and Zahara both rocked out the Valentino Braided Shoulder Bag while in New York City, only difference is Zahara carried a mini-version. This handbag, also dubbed the Valentino Histoire Bag, has been a huge hit for the house. If you ask me, you will not find this mini-version of the Histoire in stores, it may very well be one of a kind made solely for little Zahara. All I can say is lucky girl! Buy the ‘large’ version at Saks.
Edit: I just spoke with my SA at Valentino in Bal Harbour and she informed me it was specially made for Zahara!

aww, that is adorable!
That is just too cute!
I want Angelina to adopt me!
That is the cutest thing!
HOT! Z really knows how to work that bag!!!!
Zahara rocks the bag better then her mom CUTE
OMG! That is SO adorable!
“Hey Z, when you are done with it, pass it over to me will ya?? I don’t mind if it is a little sticky or something.”
Wow something about it looks so photoshopped, but im glad you confirmed it with the SA, so cool
Wow… this bag is hot! I’ve always loved this bag even if it was totally dissed here the first time it came out.
Aww, boo.
The mini-Valentino would have made such a fantastic clutch
Aww … that is SO cute.
cute..cute…cute….Z is a lucky girl!
That is precious. I bet Valentino is going to have to market the mini-bag now. All the moms on the Upper East Side are going to want matching bags for themselves and their little princesses.
Lady Z is too much. I’ve never seen a child her age with so much personality. She is going to be drop-dead gorgeous when she grows up.
the bag was made specially for her, so they are not making copies
OMG that is so cute that beautiful Z has a bag like her Beautiful Mom.
I want one!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The lil bag is just too cute!! Ange is wearing the bvlgari carbon gold watch… i love it!
Awwww too cute!
bag is so cute but at this age if she uses Valentino,what she would use when she is 18
honestly this is ‘cute’ - in a sappy kind of way - but is she really doing the kid any favors raising her like that? when there is nothing to aspire to you raise spoiled kids. in situations where the kids/parents have ‘everything’ you have to build in the checks and balances. i know we are here to celebrate our superficiality but my superficiality has limits and i guess this is one of them… i am surprised at her going for this given her UN/activist/good mom media persona…
I totally agree with you. i know that AJ has all the money in the world, but am still surprised at her using expensive accessories after seeing everything that’s going on at the otherside of the world… and now giving her 3 year old daughter a bag worth $1K??? whether she can afford it or not, it’s the principle of it. she is trying to represent all the less fortunate children and she does this????? does not make sense.
look celebrities get bags for free and they sent the bag as a thank you because angelina has popularized the bag. newsflash they are wealthy, this is just like a middle class mother and daughter pair both enjoying a coach bag. i hardly doubt that one FREE bag is going to “spoil” that little girl and one photograph is scant evidence of how she “raises” her. she enjoys her valentino and her child enjoys the valentino and it’s supercute THE END.
whether the bag is free or whether it was bought - it is the representation of it. Like I said, it’s the principle of it. a perfect example is: somebody who is representing the fight against blood diamonds - and then wearing one because it was a GIFT - does that make sense? I don’t think so…
AJ is no ordinary figure who can disappear into oblivion and not be noticed like us. She has set herself up as an ambassador to the UN and champion of the less fortunate. using expensive accessories go against everything that she is representing… that’s what bothers me about this whole picture. Yes, other people do the exact same thing, but those people are not a representation of anything to the magnitude that AJ is portraying
Too cute for words, mom and daughter, talk about a fashion plate, at such a young age.
It comes across as a play toy more than anything. Truthfully, she doesn’t dress Zahara in particularly stylish girly clothing. She tends to put her in unisex clothing.
That bag may have been made especially for little Z, but Valentino is no fool; if enough people want to buy one, he’ll market it just like the adult size bag. He sees $ signs everywhere.
is it fair to use a child as a billboard? an advertising campaign? it is one thing for valentino to try, it is quite another for her to accept. celebs receive many gifts and do not use them all nor do they have to. is it fair to instill such levels of materialism on someone so young? given everything she ’stands for’ shouldn’t she be auctioning that stuff on ebay and donating the money to the third world? at best this is hypocrisy at worst she is clueless… frankly it is surprising to me as they are usually far more low key than this. this is britney/paris levels of bad taste/bling
that is so cute
what’s wrong with you mean spirited people, this is like back when Princess Diana came to Chicago to raise money for charity and fox news decided to do a list of how much she spent for hotel, food, etc. and entitled the list “Money that did NOT go to Charity.” People should be appreciated for taking time out of their busy life to do good for the world. AJ has done so much good for the world, why should she not carry around a bag or two, and why should her child (just bc its her child) get flack for carrying a nice bag that was probably free to begin with. All you people that are talking about “principles” what have you done for orphans and third world refugees. Get off your couch and laptop and do something if you want, you people are so sick!
this is waaaay off topic but just because you don’t me and other people you disagree with christs does not mean that we do nothing with respect to our principals. i may not be high profile enough to be a UN representative but i have - among other things - established a legal clinic for free representation and information at a battered women’s shelter… and i am wasting my time here that much is true.
Honiebrown i totally agree with you, but unfortunately AJ has always been a contradiction of terms. Yes she has done wonderful UN work but she should be sensitive to the example she is setting. That poor girl zahara hasnt got a shot in hell for a normal life, her options were being riddled with aids in an ethiopian orphanage, or being carted around the world with numerous siblings according to the whims of her “on the verge of breaking up” parents and paparazzi in tow.
best pic of zahara nad her mom ever!!!!
Like a toddler REALLY needs a designer purse.
awww… its so sweet… hw i wish dat my mom is lyk angie. jus buy me a valentino bag wen im stil so young…
I don’t think it’s a crime to indulge yourself a freebie and at the same time has the heart of a gold to help others. You criticize those who don’t have any fellowship with the poor and the needy, but AJ is one to admire for…
This is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen!
On a non-bag related note - does anyone know what sunglasses those are?
I LOVE IT that is too cute,she does those kids right
is that cute or is that cute
i’m getting mommy’s version tomorrow at valentino…i loooooooooooooove angie!
This is just too cute. People, maybe this is just a one off thing. If you’ve seen Angie and her kids in other photos she doesn’t dress them in designer get ups. In fact, they seem to wear hand-me-downs from each other sometimes. Zahara has been wearing the same brown sandals for almost a year now. I too am annoyed when people spoil their kids with material things but in this case I really don’t see the need for an objection as I do believe it’s just a minor indulgence on their part.
Prince Diana did goodwill work and she still dressed nicely and wore expensive clothing. No one critized her for that. So, why is everyone critizing Angelina Jolie for carrying a expensive bag. Just because you are doing goodwill work to help children of third world country, that doesn’t mean you should dress like you shop from K-mart. If AJ wanted a matchy matchy mother daughter purse, that’s her business. She earned it. I think it’s adorable; furthermore, I bet Valentino made it for Zahara and it wasn’t at the request of Angelina. Valentino is smart for marketing this idea through AJ and Z.
I agree with rr, AJ does not dress her kids in designer get up like Tom Cruise and Katies Holmes. Little Suri wears Burberry, Armani and etc. What have Tom Cruise done for the Children of the world other than devoting his time and money torwards Scientology. You people who are annoyed by Angelina Jolie should find out what charity work has Jennifer Aniston, Tom Cruise or other celebs have done for others.
The bags are great. I would like one, even a faux would make me happy
Does anyone know where I can find this bag in red?
The price of that handbag could have fed Zahara’s entire village.
Just sayin’…
i love this bag in both the patent black and the soft gold metallic.
Wow, on the first picture, Z looks absolutely sad. Maybe because her mother pushed her into carrying the bag around, maybe?
Other than that, it is absolutely gorgeous. Lucky Z
You people are pathetic.
Yes, the price of that bag could have fed some of Zahara’s entire village and I am sure that Angelina has fed many villages. Please, just because a person does goodwill work for others doesn’t mean that their entire life should be consumed going around looking like them. Nonsense.
The money that you make is primarily for yourself, if you want to share then that’s pie in the sky. Just because you make a lot of money does not mean that you should GIVE it ALL away, or not indulge yourself.
Just Relax…Life is for the living. Don’t worry about what Angelina does, worry about what you are doing. Take your money and give it all away, and dress shabbily if you give it to the poor, or let your husband abuse you if you give it to battered women’s causes, or contract AIDS if you give it to the Aids epidemic cause, ec. etc., (you get the point)
As I said before, relax and live to the fullest.
