We already know that accessories make or break an outfit, and demoting them to an afterthought is pretty much a cardinal sin — at least according to the fashion set. Not only does Valentino know this, but the Italian Maison propels this notion forward by designing Valentino Garavani shoes and bags, Valentino sunglasses — you name it — with impeccable craftsmanship and a timeless versatility. If you’re looking to elevate your outfit to the highest degree, allow us to shine a spotlight on the designer’s 2024 accessories collection — or at least five particularly exquisite pieces we can’t stop thinking about.
In a fashion landscape where, ironically, quiet luxury speaks volumes, Maison Valentino has redefined the aesthetic with a sophistication that’s relevant, compelling, and beautiful. The prowess lies in the details, which includes the brand’s iconic VLogo front and center on many of its designs. Take the Valentino Garavani VLogo Moon bag for example, the protagonist of this season. With its endearing crescent shape and bold VLogo chain, it’s an everyday piece that’s meant to stand out yet, at the same time, go with everything in your closet. We love the Valentino Garavani VLogo Moon bag for mundane jeans-and-a-tee-shirt days just as much as we love it for special occasions.
If you’re looking for something more compact (yet just as elevated), the Valentino Garavani Locò Small Shoulder bag fits the bill. Combining contemporary functionality with a ‘90s silhouette, this bag doubles as a clutch with a detachable chain and removable handle, which helps seal its position as the ultimate go-anywhere choice. Whether you style it with off-duty denim, a crisp power suit, or a full-length gown, it single-handedly speaks to Valentino Garavani’s polished, everyday appeal.
In addition to elegant versatility, craftsmanship is perhaps what the Maison does best. The attention to detail comes into full focus on the Valentino Garavani Allknots bag. Ideal for weekend getaways, the large tote features a new handmade, woven design that’s minimal yet striking. It also includes a removable leather insert that can be carried separately for an entirely different look — it’s a bag that adapts to any occasion or situation.
As renowned as Valentino Garavani bags are, we’d be remiss not to eulogize the brand’s shoes, which are just as iconic. This season, the Maison pares down its recognizable studded details with a minimal design that feels fresh for spring — starting with the Valentino Garavani Rockstud Wispy mule. A reimagined version of the iconic Valentino Garavani Rockstud ballerinas, these sleek, ultra kitten heels feature just three miniature studs and a multi-strap slingback silhouette that, while elevated, can easily be worn every day. They’re effortless yet glamorous, which is par for the course in a Valentino world. Like every other piece, they’re a worthy investment that could be worn with your wedding dress on your big day and styled with jeans and a tee on your honeymoon without skipping a beat.
On a more laidback note, the Valentino Garavani Fussfriend slide sandal is a relaxed shoe that we love for its practicality and casually posh vibe. Even the most basic looks feel more refined with the addition of this velvet sandal. We have a feeling it’ll become your go-to summer sandal whether you’re wearing denim shorts or a crochet maxi dress.
Serving as the foundations, the exclamation points, and the sidekicks to our everyday style choices, curating an accessory collection that empowers and uplifts is a bold form of self expression, and the design maison has expertly pinpointed the sweet spot where elegance meets function.
