Darkly romantic or simply gothic, the design of Valentino Couture Tote is not actually that surprising knowing how Valentino is fond of using laces, floral designs and all that, and with each of his design showing sophistication and feminine drama.

It may not be the most elegant or appealing tote there is in his collection, but you know this definitely makes a statement. It is certainly sophisticated and it also seems to be of classic-inspired design since it shows his signature floral design throughout. This bag seems to come as a basket bag, covered with small floral or filigree-like detailing all throughout and narrowly trimmed in smooth leather. It features black lace and softly ruffled folds of tulle and charmeuse trim on the sides, making this really exquisite and dramatic.

A silver-tone logo plaque then brands the front of this bag. You may then want to pack this with just your basic needs and a little extras since the thin double handles do not seem to come that sturdy.

And since this Valentino Couture Tote is another of Valentino’s exquisite design, the tag of $1,995 should actually not be that surprising.
