I’m a huge fan of patent leather and when I saw the Valentino “Bow Bowling” Satchel I instantly became a fan. I love satchels and when I’m able to find a stylish one in patent leather, it usually ends up on my wish list.

The Valentino “Bow Bowling” Satchel is adorable, but there is one feature of the handbag that I’m not very fond of. The little bow featured on the front of the bag is pretty much useless to me. I know a majority of Valentino things have bows, but it doesn’t do much justice on this handbag. Without the bow the handbag would probably look much better.

I’m love the handbag in black, but I always prefer a black handbag over any color. Black goes with everything, and gives you the ability to carry the handbag around day or night. I’m not quite sure if I would even use this bag in red, but it is cute. I think the reason I’m not loving the red on the bag is because it reminds me too much of Christmas, or the holiday season in general. Since a bow is already on the satchel, it being in red just makes it look like a present to me. Red or not though, the Valentino “Bow Bowling” Satchel is fabulous.

The Valentino “Bow Bowling” Satchel can be purchased at Saks Fifth Avenue for $995, which is kind of shocking to me. Being that the handbag is by Valentino I was expecting it to be priced much higher! Any designer handbag that doesn’t reach over a thousand, gets an A+ in my book!
