This is the new Valentino bag we're lusting for

Clutch it home

Poised to supercede the Rockstud Spike is the Valentino Gavarani Demilune

Chevron intarsia in multicolour suede. Soft Stamp Alce textured calfskin leather. Floral pattern hot printed with thread embroidery. Tubular handles with adjustable and removable studded straps. Suede lining housing special lipstick pockets.

Reciting the features on the new Valentino Garavani Demilune bags — first introduced in the Italian label's pre-fall collection — is music to the ears. Though available as a clutch, the stars here are the Double Handle bag and Small Double Handle bag, carried the way Pierpaolo Piccioli's models did on the runway. Instructions: Grab hold of the back top handle, with the front top handle looped over it.
