Valentino Rosette Tote

Valentino Rosette Tote

Earlier today I told you the crazy patterns and designs are a huge hit for spring. Some are really stunning, some are quirky but cool, and some are downright fugly! The overwhelming opinion on the Jimmy Choo Face Canvas Bag is that it is a huge miss and totally creepy. That makes me certain many of you will hate the Valentino Rosette Tote also, with its plastered fuchsia rosettes. I am all for playing with some leather to make it bunch to look like a rose, in ONE place on the bag. But this fug bag is all about the roses, and it makes me think the bees will live in your bag and build hives. Not only will you need to keep the cute hummingbirds away, but go grab some hive killer! This bag is killer. The black patent leather trim and gold-tone hardware only make it look older and more Driving Miss Daisy mixed with Red Hat Society. It is just hideous from every angle and for each aspect. So far my take on many of the crazy themed/faced/designed/printed bags for the next season are totally drab. I am waiting for one to catch my attention. Pre-order through Neiman Marcus for $1,950.

>>>Driving Miss Daisy mixed with Red Hat Society

Perfectly put. Kinda looks like Valentino channeling Target. I mean if it were 13.95 at Target it might be kind of fun, but otherwise … :shock:

I agree with you both.
One question though, are those roses three dimensional? I guarantee you that people would be reaching out to touch your bag to see if they were. Weird.

Well,it´s differant.Is it all leather,the roses I mean? I don´t like the logo set so centered, Interesting,but so was the bag just beside this one in the NM online site.

Those evening clutches that look like a cluster of roses are cute. This is too much. A bag that size is too big of a canvas to cover with 3-D looking roses.

Drab, drab, drab. I am really not fond of the “crazy themed/faced/designed/printed bags for the next season” as Meg put it. Give me something else to drool on please!

I love this Valentino bag. they have it with red leather - my friend has it and it is gorgeous and so much fun.
I do agree that the Jimmy Choo face bag is dull and looks cheap.
