I’ve always been a fan of the classic, almost vintage-esque handbags so I was pleasantly suprised upon viewing Candy Pratt’s fall accessory report at style.com a few weeks ago that there was an entire section dedicated to the trend. I hadn’t had to look much when I’d already added a few items to my [totally unrealistic dream] wishlist; Gucci shoes, a Ralph Lauren croc bag and the Fendi square bag but none of which compared to this gorgeous Valentino Bird Handbag!
I’m not usually a fan of the Valentino bags, the totes are nice but a bit too sparkly for my style but I do love this bag. The elegant shape, not to mention the super cute details, the bird and the little ruffles underneath – it’s so pretty! and the simple black and white is so chic. So, the bird clasp may get a bit irratating and realistically white isn’t a great choice but this bag seems much too special to be used for everyday purposes.
Regardless of its price or practicaility I’ll be keeping a look out of this bag later this year and I cannot wait to get some more shots of it.
Update: According to British Vogue the Glam Bird retails at £1,050 – am I a bit crazy to think that’s quite reasonable?
