After coasting for years on their Rockstuds bag/shoe success, Valentino has a new bag that will appeal to people who aren’t looking for a letter logo [the ‘V’ closure on some of their bags] or the immediately recognizable rockstuds.
They have a few totes that are without obvious logos/studs but they are few and far between. They are now making bags that resemble Kelly bags [in the way that the YSL Sac du Jour resembles the Birkin; ie., vaguely but not exactly.]
They made a beautiful beaded red one that seems quite rare, for example–I believe these backs are called the My rockstud [despite few of them appearing here] textured-leather tote [though it does not seem like a tote]:
