Valentino Garavani 9TO5 shoulder bag 

“When Alessandro Michele joined Valentino, I expected an all-out embrace of maximalism. However, I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the refined balance he’s struck, particularly with the bags from his debut collection. The 9T05 shoulder bag is a perfect example of this more measured approach, featuring a vintage-inspired design that feels both timeless and versatile. I also love the antique brass-finish hardware and the rich brown hue, which pairs effortlessly with nearly any outfit.”
