Valentino Tuxedo Nappa Frame Bag

Megs · Oct 26th, 2007, 08:45 AM

Tuxedo is the perfect adjective to describe this handbag. Put together, classy, and maybe even a little up tight. Yet this stoic look works out well, for a very put together outfit and lady. The Valentino Tuxedo Nappa Frame Bag is named perfectly, for its pintucked and bow accent to give the bag a tuxedo style. While I can see the tuxedo resemblance, I also see the resemblance of a simple bowling bag with a bow slapped on top. So I am on the fence, and need a nudge to either side. The magnetic frame closure adds a structured look, along with the goldtone logo plaque. Dimensions are 16"W X 13"H X 4"D. Available at Saks for $1795.

Now nudge me to the right side of the fence, because I am stuck in the middle.

I think this purse is flippin adorable. Valentino IMHO is a genious and I wish I started collecting his bags a long time ago. I'm thrilled to have two from last year! Now that he's retiring.....sob.....

I was struck with the bow making it formal. the rest is so simple,
that maybe it fulfills its function. I would have to see it face to face

I'd rather wait for the frame bag hype for spring, there are more bags coming and the LV ones are far more interesting looking.

Problem to me regarding this bag is the strudtured lines of the frame vs the smoochines off the rest. It seems unaligned and that disturbs me.
