PETAL POWER

The prowess of the Valentino ateliers come into full bloom with the creation of these precious pieces.

You may say a rose is a rose is a rose, but the new Valentino Garavani Atelier crossbodies by Pierpaolo Piccioli, who has placed couture at the core of the brand, would beg to differ. Especially sweet, these bags are part of the House’s first collection of accessories made using couture techniques, and are available in four hues of kidskin and nappa leather—all intricately embroidered with handcrafted blooms. And we guarantee there’s not a thorn in sight.

The Valentino Garavani Atelier shoulder bags are $3,820 each and are available at Valentino, #03-12 ION Orchard (tel: 6509 8062).
