I bought this bag in the black/brown/amber mix. Absolutely beautiful bag BUT the roses started fraying off before I even used it. I called Valentino and they told me just to “cut if off”. It also falls/flops when you put it down (no structure) so it looks like a big mess of silk. I found that I felt I had to be too careful with it since anything wet, even odors can get into the fabric. I found myself leaving it in the car and/or putting it in it’s own chair and the restaurant. Too high maintenance for me.

Again, beautiful bag!! Not practical – I returned mine.

Wow, I’m so shocked that you don’t just like it, you LOVE it! When you first look at it, it looks like textured velvet, and I think that was the gag factor with me. And I agree with everyone else regarding size of the design. Maybe if this was offered on a clutch, it would be considerable, but dark roses on a tote? It looks like something my great grandmother would have been buried with. (There’s your Morticia Adams reference.)

I am not a “flower” person but these totes catch my eye in every color!

I like this tote a lot and I absolutely love the whole floral applique concept. I’m not sure why this style of bags do not get the love they deserve. Over the top? Flashy? Unpractical?… I’d say gorgeous, well-executed statement piece.
A handbag should be a statement, a chic statement; a declaration of personality and glamour; something that takes your outfit to a new level of sophistication, otherwise is just a plain regular bag.
I wouldn’t call this tote hideous or ridiculous at all. Maybe it’s not everybody’s favourite, but sure is a handbag worth the $2,000 they want for it, for all the glamour it would inject to anybody’s look.

Besides, everything is wearable, knowing how-to is all that is needed.

It’s too much for me on a large tote, but I can see why others would like it. It’s different for sure.

I think that my corneas are bleeding from looking at this bag. I agree that it’s practical in the sense that it’s roomy and would work year round but other than that this piece is simply hideous. Period.

This may have been beautiful on a little evening bag, but all over a TOTE? Ridiculous! The only place I could see this is in Pasadena for the Rose Bowl Parade.
