Some bags are just to sigh for, and Valentino's Petale series is one of those... if you've seen these bags up close & personal, you will be amazed at the beautiful detail & hardware. Lovely lovely bags. And Eva Longoria Parker is certainly a fan too! Check her out having lunch in Los Angeles, in a deceptively simple outfit - pale pink v-neck, slim fit bootcut jeans, statement heels, topped off by a very A-list handbag. This is L.A. casual chic at it's best!

Valentino bags rarely go on sale (the Petale has turned into a classc), and there is a good selection online, considering the exclusivity of this item. LUISAVIAROMA, Browns, as well as US luxury department stores like Neiman Marcus & Nordstrom. Browse ALL Valentino online here
