Valentino Noeud Tote - Designer Handbag & Purse Chat.. The Bag Forum

VivaLaJuicy · November 20th, 2008, 08:25 PM

I’m a true fanatic of Valentino Garavani’s luxurious and feminine designs. I always look forward to seeing what new items Valentino presents to the World of Fashion, and just take a look at this newbie. Fresh off the runway, the Noeud Tote isn't exactly my favorite Valentino, and with all due respect to any fans out there, I can’t decide whether this piece is inspired by a feminine bow or straightjacket design. What a great piece was emerging, until that clutter in the middle settled in. The concept of buttery Nappa leather and the tier of ruffles were fine details, but seriously, what is going on right in the center? Must its details really have been so complicating? Would a nice and identifiable bow detail have been more pleasant? Or maybe a different color would have improved this piece. Eventually, every designer will come out with something that isn’t a crowd pleaser, and I don’t know what you ladies think, but personally, I’m not in awe over this tote. Valentino handbags do cost a pretty penny, as the Noeud Tote does carry a steep price tag of $3,495! Ladies, what’s your input on this tote, and most importantly, would you wear this?

Pre-Order this Valentino over at Saks.com

dont mind me, but i think the outfit looks like mental hospital patient uniform........................

That's a no for me too. It looks like a straight jacket to me not bows. I like the ruffles though.

Yeah I thought of a straight jacket as well... That's why I posted a pic. of a straight jacket (pic. in the left).

Haha, oh my gosh, so am I the only one who like this bag? Have you guys seen it in store yet?

VivaLaJuicy · November 25th, 2008, 11:31 PM

^^ No I haven't. I shouldn't judge too quickly, until I see it in person. I always do that...

Jennifer · November 25th, 2008, 11:43 PM

I always do that too. And with this bag, I guess what makes it so unattractive to me is the price. Goodness.

It looks cheap and home-ade in my opinion.

coach-princess348 · November 26th, 2008, 11:01 AM

Yeah, I haven't seen this in stores either.
Maybe on Black Friday....
