Brands know what they’re doing when they use quilted leather. They know the risks, and they take them anyway. Valentino is the most recent big name to make a foray into quilted leather bags with its brand new Valentino Rockstud Spike Bag. The Spike has finally found its way into celeb arms, and while we can’t promise that you’ll love it, we do think it’s one of the more intriguing new designer bags for Fall 2016. Beaded bags are also making a splash this week, and their colors really pop against dark fall hues.
