I ran across Mario Valentino bags when I was in Neiman Marcus in Chicago. I was puzzled because I'm not familiar with his brand and a lot of his bags looked like Gucci Soho rip offs with the interlocking G's replaced with a V.
I tried to look up info here at PF but the posts people had written were mostly just stating what this brand isn't -> Garavani Valentino (rock studs, etc.) which I already knew.
So, I'm not asking who / what MV isn't. I'm asking who IS / what IS the Mario Valentino brand. Is it really a luxury brand? Are his items well made with good quality materials? Does he have original designs?
I'd especially love to hear from anyone who owns / owned his bags and has real life experience with them - good or bad. THANKS!
