![]() Gentlemen, if you wish to really awe a lady, I suggest you get her Valentino florals over fresh ones, instead! For the past couple of years I’ve been a great fanatic of Valentino Garavani and his works. I find his pieces to be edgy with feminine features still present. A perfect example of this can be found in yet another one of his designs housing a giant floral detail, meet the Petale Tote Variente. Whether you like this piece or not, you must admit the detailing is stunning. To think how buttery nappa leather had to be manipulated to create a floral silhouette is pretty charming. Personally, I would dress this bag up with pencil skirts or simple dresses, yet I have no doubts that this piece can be worn with the good 'ole reliable jeans and tee shirt. Just like all other tote bags, you’ll find the double shoulder straps and a roomy interior on this Valentino. Ladies, how do you feel towards this piece? Would you sport such a head-turning detail on your handbag, or not? If you love this piece, you can find the Petale Tote in red or black at an astonishing price tag of $2,395 over at: Saks.com |

In Red It's simply too much. I do however love that shade of Red! The black though is gorgeous, more subdued and the detail as Viva pointed out is superb and stunning.

I'm torn...I want to say "no way, that's ugly," but I think this is one I would definitely have to see in person to have an opinion. It could be ugly AND cool.

It reminds me of a pretty red rose on Valentine's day.
