VALENTINO BAGS
VALENTINO BAGS is an Italian brand founded by Mario Valentino
The Italian brand Valentino Bags was created in the early 1950s by Mario Valentino. He inherited his passion for leather craftsmanship from home, as his father Vincenzo ran a leather workshop since the 1920s, producing exclusive footwear for custom orders. It was in his father's shoemaking workshop that young Mario Valentino learned the trade. He began his career by creating luxury footwear, which quickly gained recognition among successful people, including Jackie Kennedy and Liz Taylor. His coral sandals, created in 1956, not only appeared on the cover of Vogue but also in the Bally Shoes Museum in Zurich and the Design Museum in Copenhagen.
Today, the brand is renowned for its exclusive handbags. Models like Divina and Alexia have achieved almost cult status among clients looking for style without needing to reach for a gold credit card. Mario Valentino passed away in 1991, but his successors continue to uphold his legacy and the brand's premium status. It must be said, they are doing an excellent job.
Handbags, wallets, and elegant leather accessories
Valentino Bags offers its clients exceptional leather accessories, including exclusive handbags and wallets. They prove that traditional craftsmanship can be reconciled with modern trends and avant-garde. The brand balances between Italian heritage and practical fashion.
Both handbags and wallets by Valentino Bags are made from high-quality leather, and as befits Italian enterprises, with meticulous attention to even the smallest details.

This manufacturer does not intend to fall below the premium level.

Are Valentino and Valentino Bags the same?
Valentino and Valentino Bags are two different brands, though often confused due to selling similar products and having a V-shaped logo. The Italian brand Valentino was established in Rome in the 1960s by Valentino Garavani. It is a luxury haute couture brand offering shoes, clothing, bags, and perfumes. Highly esteemed in the world of luxury. Valentino Bags, on the other hand, was founded earlier, in 1952, in Naples, by Mario Valentino. It is a premium brand mainly producing bags and accessories. Its logo is also a V, though not identical, and often includes the name Valentino.
