While Valentino is known for their floral embellishments, their Spring 2011 is completely infused with floral accents galore. One of the versions that caught my attention is the Valentino Napa Straw-Flower Duffel which features sand napa leather with multicolor crystal-punctuated straw flower appliques. Buy via Neiman Marcus for $2,195.
Fill in the blank in the comments below: The Valentino Napa Straw-Flower Duffel is _______.
charming.
Childish.
Very ladylike – structured but delicate.
too busy! so much is happening all over the front.
Very funny
flowery… too much flower… to much!!!!!!
very lady-like
pretty and feminine. I love it!
Lovely and delicate. However not my cup of tea.
similar to a purse I had at age five. Very childish.
Whimsical and Fun!! Why bother with purses if you can’t have some fun with them!!
surprisingly, not bad.
not bad. I kind of like it.
I like it, just not enough to spend 2k for it.
awful
…not worth 2k. The straw flowers kinda look like mould.
Perfect if I were a Japanese gyaru!

not worth $2000
Adorable!
But apparently I’m in the minority for thinking this.
enchanting.
too flowery!
… perhaps right paired with a pale classy number at a spring wedding. Otherwise not “right” for anything I own, on any occasion.
…. is reminiscent of my lovely ladylike Aunt. Who is 90 years old.
….looking like a $2 craft project!
The Valentino Napa Straw-Flower Duffel is:
1. not worth 2grand
2. not good for people with springtime allergies
3. a DIY project leftover from your child’s pre-k days
I cna’t see Valentino’s bag, they are cheap, stupid nad boring. I hate !

… a bit silly, but overall lovely and charming. However, I do not have $ 2000 to spend on it.
It’s like something my grandma would use
…perfect for a garden party.
Tacky.
fugly…
Lovely and full of Spring…
Divine.
sweet
GEEK!!!

Unfortunate !
Love the overall style, but the flowers are just too much. It makes it look childish especially with the dainty pink colour.
not worth 2k.
Ha ha ha! I had a crossbody very similar to this when I was in first grade!
beyond hideous…
very SATC…..I can just imagine Carrie with it!
and in the words of Samantha, its….fabulous!
Not for me!
An old-lady purse. I can picture Vicki Lawrence as Mama when I look at this bag. I can see the old lady who babysat me as a child. This is the type of purse that would contain kleenex, cough drops, and a plastic rain hat. This type pf purse should retail for about $19.95, because old ladies are on fixed incomes and don’t want to pay much.
a purse I would have carried to church on Easter when I was 12 years old.
adorable! I love it.
… a desperate redux, but surely well made.
The beading would look cuter on a cloth bag.
over-decorated. I am sorry, I am in the field of design, and this is not approved. Less is more.
spring allergy-inducing.
interesting. Without the flowers it would be boring, but with them it’s a perfect spring and summer purse. I’m not about to run out and buy one, but it’s nice to look at.
Hmmm, I think my 3 year old niece has one of these.
My 8 year-old niece would love it, but it does nothing for me. I don’t do florals, and the powder pink background is an insipid colour in my books.
The Valentino Napa Straw-Flower Duffel is disappointingly average.
I think it would need to be seen in the flesh to see the real effect of the crystals and flowers BUT it just seems like your Grandmother’s knitting bag.
…hideous.
Not a bag that anybody passed the age of 12 should carry.
I got itch seeing this. Makes me wanna pull the appliques one by one.
So sweeeeeet it gave me a toothache..
not attractive at all…looks like something a child would carry
too sweet
Too cute and girly.. but not for me.
not a head turner!!!!
beyond fugly
To die for 🙂
The Valentino Napa Straw-Flower Duffel is cute & blinging!
sorry but not my style
Granny will love it! I can’t wait to stuff her knitting needles & yarn in it!!
I don’t like it.
Looked like some awful skin disease landed on the bag (shudders)
LOLZ I think it was the same skin disease that landed on Cate Blanchett’s Oscar dress.
Looks like cheap plastic beading from H&M, Forever 21, or Target.
Cute for the right person and look.
