I like to laugh. but for apparent reasons, laughing at a bag it not typically a good sign. nor is the flurry of mental activity that accompanies the single thought, “What was she thinking?” This is pretty much what went though my head when I saw the Valentino Bow shopping Tote. now I admit, I once succumbed to a patent leather bag in purchase to emulate Lilly from the kid’s book Lilly’s Purple Plastic purse (maybe this is why I’m into bags?). but that bag did not have an obnoxious bow on the front as this Valentino does.
This substantial bow is unlike cute bows on purses- it is wrapped around the front of the tote in such a way that it looks like a wrapped-up present. The gathering, the red, the bow, the patent- it’s like Valentino was trying to enter the bag in a pageant. Now, this is all assuming the bag is red, but notice that is also comes in black. It’s decidedly less ridiculous, but I still can’t see this bag hanging casually off someone’s shoulder. At least it solves the perpetual problem of what to wear on a rainy day- the glossy coated canvas does look as though it could repel water. purchase through Saks for $895.
