Valentino
Valentino here means Mario Valentino, the Naples leather house founded in 1952, not the Rome couture brand Valentino Garavani that shares the name. The bags on this rail are built in Italian leather, in hobo, crossbody and shopper shapes, at a price point closer to premium than couture. If you want Italian leather with real everyday use in mind, this is the Valentino to look at.
We stock Mario Valentino because it delivers genuine Italian leather craftsmanship without the couture price tag its more famous namesake carries. Customers occasionally ask if it's 'the' Valentino, so we say so upfront rather than let the name do the talking.
Hobo bags, crossbody styles and structured totes make up the range, in leather finishes built for daily use rather than display. The shapes are practical first, with the polish that comes from proper Italian leatherwork.
Mario Valentino founded his leather house in Naples in 1952, the son of a master shoemaker, and built it around artisan leatherwork rather than ready-to-wear fashion. The brand remains focused on bags, shoes and leather accessories today, distinct from the Rome-based Valentino Garavani fashion house that shares its surname.
Everything ships across the UK, or come and see the current Mario Valentino bags in Penarth, alongside the rest of the accessories edit.
