The Best Bags We Spotted Outside of the Valentino Haute Couture Show

The news of Alessandro Michele joining Valentino as the Creative Director was fashion music to my ears. Michele proved his ability to not only make a name for himself but also make a brand that is most coveted in the fashion world. And now it’s Valentino’s turn.

I’ve been anxiously awaiting the maximalist design elements Alessandro will bring to Valentino. With its own set of house codes and Alessandro’s touch, there is a new sense of excitement for what’s to come.

The first collection of Valentino bags under his direction is available on-site and being carried by the bag-loving world. Earlier this week, Valentino showed its Haute Couture collection in Paris, and we were there to spot the bags on the attendees.

Embroidery, Patterns and Colors

Alessandro Michele is known for prints, patterns, and colors, and all of these were seen outside (and on) the runway. The ideal sense of fashion for every individual is what speaks to them, and the idea that fashion is an extension of ourselves allows us to let the clothes and accessories tell a story.

The Classics

However, if maximalism, prints, and patterns aren’t for you, there are classics from Valentino, too. I love the 9to5 bag in its many iterations, including full leather in various colors. The Viva Tote also appeared, and there seemed to be a big push for the Vain bag.

A new era at Valentino is being ushered in and I, for one, am thrilled!
