The new Valentino Garavani Roman Stud top handle bag features a bold yet sophisticated evolution of the iconic stud, which is enlarged in a macro version, as if it were placed under a magnifying glass, relishing in the vast spectrum of love. Crafted in soft nappa leather, it perfectly conveys Valentino’s romantic punk attitude as well as the Maison’s craftmanship tradition and care for detail.
For this special capsule collection, the Roman Stud top handle bag presents a delightful peculiarity: each side counts a number of 5 studs, 20 studs in total, a symbolic celebration of 520 and love itself. The 520 experience is refined by a special card thought to collect the sweetest love messages for your beloved.
The 520 collection comes in five colors: red, white, pink and niagara blue will be available at Valentino.cn, Valentino Tmall Luxury Pavilion store, WeChat mini program and at Valentino boutiques while the black variation will be exclusively available on online platforms.
At Leila Heller Gallery in Dubai, Indian contemporary artist Manish Nai invites viewers to reconsider the materials that surround them.
