Valentino Care and Maintenance

[aimond]

Thanks for the reply, yes I wondered if it could be humidity, has anyone else experienced it in other climates? Love the bag but want to make a sensible decision when spending that much. Now I'm thinking I should maybe go for a givenchy.

Thanks for this thread. I have been eyeing the rockstud shoulder bag and planning to save up for it. Might have to switch to ysl...

So far I have only heard of it being a problem in humid countries, I would be interested to know if it has affected anyone in a more temperate climate, as i am in the UK and still trying to decide whether to purchase the Valentino or Givenchy?

Since I only want a rockstud clutch in red, I'm going to go ahead with it.

I can't imagine it being a huge issue as many of the girls on this subforum have multiple rockstud bags.

Good luck with your decision.

I live on the east coast in the US and have owned about 20 RS items over the years. I've never had any oxidation problems.

Thanks that is good to know. I am veering towards the Valentino as that is the one I have my heart on.

I have no problems with my red rockstud dome tote.

Hello Ladies,

I bought last year from Rome my first Valentino, a large metallic purple nuage bow tote
Due to the material used for the outside of this bag is there anything I can use to gently clean it with?
My handles are showing some wear (I thought it was dirt and gently rubbed with water only to see more of the purple glitter come off!!) but there are some light marks on it, or is there anything I can put on the bag to protect it.
I lovingly used it everyday for 4 months but its now safely in its dustbag until I can solve this problem.
Any ideas/suggestions xxx

I had oxidation on a Rockstud clutch when I received it. It looked old and tired and it was brand new. I'm affraid they just don't hold up over time, sad because they're so beautiful.

No issues for me either: note that some rock studs are oxidized on purpose like the Noir line for an edgy look just depends if you like it-
