Valentino Bags

Mario Valentino learned shoemaking from his father in Naples before designing the 1954 Coral Sandal that still hangs in the Bally Shoe Museum in Switzerland, and the leather house he built has been making bags under his name ever since.

Leather quality comes first, selected and stitched to a standard that traces back to Mario's own custom shoemaking for clients including Jackie Kennedy and Liz Taylor.
