Love It or Leave It: Valentino’s Superhero Bags

Iconic superhero characters from the world’s most popular comic books seem to have seeped their way into almost every corner of pop culture over the past few years, and if movies, TV shows, ever-expanding Comic Cons weren’t enough for you, Valentino‘s superhero-themed totes will give you a decidedly luxurious way to cosplay for Resort 2016.

You can now pre-order a capsule collection of Valentino bags licensed by DC Comics, allowing the Italian brand to reimagine several superheroes’ familiar logos with a bit of a signature Valentino touch. For example, the Bat Signal is now more of a butterfly.

As with all things Valentino, though, the details come at a price. All of these bags (which, to be fair, are quite large and functional) retail for over $4,000, which strikes me as a bit high for the non-luxury inspiration. Superhero fans are as dedicated to their hobbies as anyone you’ll find, though, so these bags will likely find happy homes. For me, though, they’re a pass.

What about you? Does a superhero-inspired bag interest you as a concept, and do these interest you in particular? Check out the bags below, which are available for pre-order via Neiman Marcus.
