Love It or Leave It: The RED Valentino Studded Shoulder Bag

Sometimes in life, you find yourself really wanting to love something for which you ultimately cannot muster all that much enthusiasm. That’s how I feel about the RED Valentino Studded Shoulder Bag; I find it really cute and fun in theory, but in practice, it just feels a little bit off.

I’ve been thinking about this bag for weeks, trying to figure out exactly what it is that keeps me from being enthusiastic. I don’t know if I’ve pinpointed it quite yet, but there’s something about how the round studs (which aren’t really studs at all?) adhere to the black bag. Because the studs are spherical, they don’t feel like a cohesive part of the bag’s design; instead, they sort of look like they’re being held in place with some kind of unseen magnet.

On second thought: an unseen magnet might be kind of a cool trick?

Fantasy magnetism aside: this bag, though kind of fun, is a miss for me. Let us know what you think in the comments, and if you’re into it, you can pick one up for $1,150 via LUISAVIAROMA.

Looks like skittles plonked haphazardly on to a black bag, meh I’ll pass.

Yazi

Lol! Exactly.

Rosa Lily

Just no.

FashionableLena

No. It looks as though they are stuck with map pins.

Shop Around Tours

That’s exactly what it looks like! I’ll pass.

CoCo

Leave it. Waaay to expensive for $1,150. PLUS, it looks like something you can buy at Forever 21.

Lina Lee

Leave it.

Well, there’s a fine line between “whimsy” and “tacky”. Unfortunately, this one is leaning toward “tacky”. There have been so many gimmick designs out there lately presumably catering to wealthy young female techies. But, seriously, give me a break.

If they’re aiming at wealthy female techies, they’ve missed the mark and are out in the middle of nowhere. I passed this around as the “what the…” bag of the day at work.

Purseloco

REALLY? And I like crazy designs but this just bad.

First thought, “really?”, but then I thought what a fun going out bag for the early twenty something year old. That’s a quirky party bag for the quirky party girl. Now that price tag may be a bit hefty for the early twenty something year old but hell, I jacked my credit cards way up there on outfits and accessories when I was that age.
Not for me, not my style, but there is that girl that could pull that bag off.

This bag looks really cheap to me – like some DIY project.

I feel like this bag has multicolor zits growing out of it

It looks like the Seeet Charity bag by Christian Louboutin.

It looks like those candies you eat off the paper! I kind of like it but not at that price tag.

kindled

my exact thoughts!

I wouldn’t say it is extremely ugly, but doesn’t seem practical. I would hate to bang the bag on some hard surface and have some of the pieces fall off, or have them scraped and/or dirtied.

mmm

“I don’t know if I’ve pinpointed it just yet”

haha, nice work

Karisma

Leave It!

Looks like the DOTS CANDY of my distant youth.

kemilia

This!

Carla Habana

Ughh so tacky. Looks like cheap beads from a craft store. What a waste of money.. Smh

Sue

It is so tacky. If I saw someone wearing that I would cringe. The rainbow bubbles are so unnecessary and ruin the bag. Vom.

Iram (The Luxe Guide)

Umm… did nobody notice this just looks like a tackier replica of one of Louboutin’s collections?

DaisyFields

I hate it. It looks tacky and reminds me of straight pins.

Jdii Mughal
