Opulence has been the signature of Valentino style since Valentino Garavani opened his first salon in Rome in 1960 - attracting the world's most glamorous women, from Jackie O to Jennifer Aniston. Upon Valentino's retirement, his two accessory designers were promoted to head designers, due to the success of the handbag line. From Valentino's Spring Summer 2006 Couture collection, this runway bag features gold accents, Swarovski crystals, and semi precious gems such as turquoise.
