Valentino Lace and Straw Shopper and Rosette Chain Strap Bag

  Lace? Straw? What are those two doing together? Few designers could make such opposing details work as well as Valentino. The label’s Lace and Straw Shopper is relatively transfixing, if only because it’s so unique in its construction. The sheer, black lace overlay gives a romantic feel to what would otherwise be just another straw bag. Of course, a Valentino isn’t a Valentino without a big, floppy bow somewhere on it.  

  No one does rosettes like Valentino and what better way showcase them than to design an entire bag around just one? The Rosette Small Leather Chain-Strap Bag is a small black leather bag made of one enormous rosette. Features are sparse on this one and include a detachable gold chain shoulder strap, zip-top closure with a designer-stamped pull, and a black satin-twill lining.
