In recent years, Valentino‘s runway shows weren’t all that shocking. They included the usual suspects—Rockstuds galore, mini-bags, and trendy styles catering to what has consistently worked for the brand in years past. All that changed for Spring 2019 when the brand introduced new logo hardware. The prominence of this new logo was impossible to ignore, implying that these bags would be a big push for the brand in seasons to come. Unsurprisingly, Valentino has continued to bet heavy on this logo for Fall 2019.
The emphasis was clear, with nearly all of the bags containing the big ‘V’ hardware. And while the logo itself was impossible to ignore, the bags overall were underwhelming at best. Most of the collection featured structured flap bags of varying sizes. Some featured a convertible gold chain while others were finished with a leather shoulder strap. A small zip-around camera bag was also introduced, of course bearing the new logo. While Valentino’s iconic Rockstuds weren’t very prominent throughout, a supple flap bag with studded detailing was introduced in two colors. View all the bags from the runway below.

I’ll get back to you on this one….
I love how all designers are trying to reinvent themselves but some should stick to what sells best. I’m already tired of this logo. Something about it looks dated to me. It looks like a logo that belongs on a car. Maybe if it were rounder and looked more like parentheses (V) I don’t know.
#31 is a gorgeous shade of purple though.
i dont like the off [ V ] – i like the V but the parenthesis makes it look like clutter
This is some weird point in time where I’m much more attracted to medium price brands than luxury brands. Normally, I’d write it off as envy cause 4-digit price tags are more than I usually can or want to pay, but all the big luxury brands are either so into logos or going into new and bleh directions lately. Meanwhile, I bought a Polene bag and it brings me such joy. Pretty! Functional! The logo is miniscule! I’ve always drooled at expensive bags, but if someone suddenly gifted me 4k today, I’d probably buy Kate Spade, Mansur Gavriel or something and pocket the rest.
I totally agree on all counts. I also love my Polene!!
I like the tone on tone use of the logo, takes it down a bit. These look like nice bags to me. If I had unlimited purse buying funds I would consider buying one of these. I like the little square ones. Like #31.
I usually try to stay far from large logos but the monotone scheme does help. But I think I’d still stay away, after all I don’t want to betray my PRINCIPALS!
The blaring logos make me wonder if their target demographic is the younger crowd, who like very visible logos. Valentino used to shine with their designs, not their logos. I miss their old aesthetic.
I like the first one a lot! The texture of the leather is what I like the most.
I guess none of the straps work…
?
Most of the bags in this collection I dislike. I don’t disrespect of any fashion designers and I don’t want to sound rude, but why some of the fashion designers going with large logos? Did they runout of ideas? In my opinion no more creativity. And how about running shoes as a luxury shoes. Like, many brands they do it. Don’t like them at all. I respect for the ones are loving big logos and for the ones loving the running shoes. I hope no one miss understands me. I’m happy for the ones are loving big logos or the running shoes or both. Respect.
Let’s make it easy: it’s ugly and tacky.

Trudie, you are so full of good ideas! Do you also sell essential oils and ugly leggings on the side?
I like bags 6 and 13. Bag 14 is my favorite, and I need more information on the dress in slide 24.
That dress is so very feminine & gorgeous! Love it!
I don’t like being a walking billboard for any brand and especially not these. I also noticed that every model wore the same gold/pearl ring, which was pretty.
Yes, I love the ring. Every model wore one on her pinky finger.
These look like the cheaper “valentino by mario valentino” to me. The logo is almost the same. I hope these are $300 like this one: https://www.saksoff5th.com/_/product/0400010150564?site_refer=CSE_GGLPLA:Womens_Handbags:Valentino+by+Mario+Valentino&gclsrc=aw.ds&&gclid=CjwKCAiA_P3jBRAqEiwAZyWWaI35YoGLw61QNrqqZsjhVYLAq0BONvK40fFXsb5Xofd_081XkCFxIRoC6p4QAvD_BwE
Nope. I went on Saks Website, & found them to be sorely lacking in polish & colors. These colorful Valentino’s have a most saturated, vivid shade to them.
I always prefer the spikes ?
This logo is stupid. end of discussion.
That emerald green bag is gorgeous!
