Valentino Garavani 9TO5 series Cherryfic jacquard raffia shoulder bag, interpreting urban aesthetics with natural materials and craftsmanship
This shoulder bag is made of synthetic jacquard raffia woven body, showing a light and breathable natural texture, with smooth leather piping and nappa leather lining, taking into account both texture and durability. The bag body is decorated with the iconic Cherryfic cherry pattern, showing vibrant colors through jacquard craftsmanship, forming a collision of retro and modern with antique brass finish hardware. The brand's classic VLogo Signature magnetic buckle closure design not only ensures safety, but also makes opening and closing convenient.
The bag has been carefully designed, with a trapezoidal outline that is crisp and stylish. It has three compartments and a buttoned pocket inside to meet the needs of classified storage. The adjustable leather shoulder strap supports both shoulder and crossbody modes. The short shoulder strap mode (33cm at the center hole) is suitable for single-shoulder carrying, and the long shoulder strap mode (48cm) can be cross-body with an extension, which is suitable for commuting, leisure and other scenarios. The bag measures 24.5cm wide × 18.5cm high × 8cm deep, with ample capacity and lightweight design to reduce the burden.
In terms of details, antique brass hardware and natural tones complement each other, and the shoulder strap is of moderate width, which is comfortable to carry for a long time. The product contains magnets, which need to be kept at least 15 cm away from implanted medical devices; the raffia material should be avoided from long-term exposure to the sun or soaking in water, and the leather part is recommended to be cared for regularly. The "Made in Italy" label is sewn inside the bag, highlighting Valentino's strict pursuit of Italian craftsmanship.
Although this shoulder bag is inspired by nature and has practical functions, it costs as much as $4,100.00, which makes many bag lovers shy away from it. However, after careful research, I designed a handbag that can completely replace it, the Ouchlove shoulder bag in ivory, as shown below.
