At last – really pretty designer handbag for the Summer. Valentino’s Blossom Satchel is understated and shows some great design. Look at the way the leather has been skilfully pleated and twisted to form the flower shape. The Blossom Satchel by Valentino is perfect in pink for sunny days and balmy nights.

Even the gold upright grab handles look great, although normally I would steer clear of gold accessories. This is not a huge handbag, in fact it is a contrast to the oversized designer bags that have been so popular lately. This one is very ladylike, with space for a comb, lipstick and maybe some anti wrinkle cream.

How much for The Blossom Satchel, this elegant feminine designer handbag by Valentino? Well I am afriad the price tag is nearly £1000 – look around for a good discounter, but make sure they are selling authentic Valentino bags and purses.

This is one of the most stylish among the oversized designer handbags, in my view. My world traveller niece has bought a pretty good replica of the Valentino Histoire, just until she can collect the authentic designer version, you understand! Silver seems to be a popular colour choice for the celebs who are sporting this designer purse. But bronze is probably a safer choice for a touch of bling on the high street, which is where most of us will go to show our designer gear. The Histoire Handbag is being sold by Valentino to celebrate the marque’s 45th birthday and the retirement of Valentino himself. Note the chunky braided shoulder strap to prevent it slipping down your arm as the paparazzi spot you!. There are some big gold buckles but no gold chain. If you really want to make a fashion statement with your Designer Tote, you could go for racing car red: that should get you noticed.
