Please, someone call Valentino and beg him to come back to the brand he spent a lifetime creating and slap some sense into the new designers. Valentino always said he just wants to make beautiful things, but this studded and giant-bowed mess– this would hardly be called beautiful. Lame, yes. Silly, definitely. Useless, most certainly. But beautiful? Never. I’m wondering how Valentino feels when he sees such awful designs with his name emblazoned on it. And it’s not even functional– look at the ridiculously small straps– it makes no sense whatsoever to have such skinny straps on a huge tote with shiny heavy studs. I don’t mind the pleated bag underneath the big bow that much, though. Wonder if we can cut that damn bow off, add thicker shoulder straps and call it a day. At Saks Fifth Avenue for $2795.
That huge bow really is useless, not functional and ugly.
The handle is funny too. The rest of the part is OK, I wish they can come up a better design.
Yay, Tina is back! Your review is dead on.
I like these Valentino bags much better! http://www.bagpoor.com/2009/12/all-that-glitters.html
Actually, this is the first big bow Valentino that I didn’t hate. Not functional and I’m still not a big fan of bows… but I kinda like it!
It reminds me of a Nigerian bridesmaid’s dress.
I’m with Metsy. I thought I’d hate the bag, but I kind of like it!
I feel like they are trying to hard to add the feminism that Valemtino is always associated with, but they are going a little crazy with the flowers and bows!!!
I agree Valentino needs to come back and returnValention to where it belongs!!!

I do like the Valentino sequin hobo but only because I am all about sequin this minute.
TAWDRY!
I adore it… feminine with hard edge!
I agree that the straps aren’t right, but other than that I like thise bag… and I have actually really like a lot of the recent Valentino bags. LOVED the hobos and shoulder bags with the big leather roses from this fall.
Wow, I think I finally figured it out! Am I signed in with Facebook?
