Journey Through Rome With A Valentino Handbag

You can’t talk about the influence Italy has had on fashion without talking about Valentino, who’s ready-to-wear and couture line has catered to the glitterati for fifty years. The maison’s headquarters are in Rome, tucked away in a renovated palace at the Piazza Mignonelli. It’s therefore a must that you tour this charming city with none other than a sleek Valentino bag on your arm.

The next time you’re in the Eternal City, check out these premier attractions with a black handbag from the House of Valentino.

The Trevi Fountain

The majestic fountain, completed in 1762, shows a deity named Ocean charging through the water on a horse-drawn chariot. Legend has it that by tossing a coin into the fountain, it means you will one day return to Rome. Toss a coin and make a wish wearing a Valentino crossbody with geometric patterns, a blue high-low dress and a brocade jacket.

The Pantheon

This ancient temple was originally a shrine to all Roman gods before it was turned into a church. Its columns and interior dome are beloved for its grace and elegance, much like the structure of a Valentino gown. Strut like a Roman goddess with a black Valentino rockstud tote and a wool coat in bright red— a color the designer is famous for.

The Colosseum

The Colosseum may be in ruins, but even that can’t take away from its grandeur. While it’s a 2,000-year-old structure where ancient performances and battles took place, we will always remember it as the place Russell Crowe kicked butt in Gladiator. Bask in its glory wearing a leather jacket, the designer’s high-top sneakers and a black, Valentino fringed clutch.

Few brands embody class and femininity like the name Valentino. From the Trevi Fountain to the Colosseum, travel in style around this ancient city with a Valentino bag on your arm.

Elegance is all in a Valentino handbag.
