Need to Camouflage Your Love?

The dreaded/beloved holiday known as Valentine’s Day approaches. To that end, let’s check in with Italian designer Valentino, who’s recently released a curious and sexy collection of camouflage goodies. These treasures include: Valentino’s rockstud canvas and leather clutch; a camouflage silk twill caftan top; a rockstud canvas and leather tote bag; and leather camouflage ballerina flats. Let’s munch on these one by one.

 Rockstud Canvas And Leather Clutch

The brilliant yellow enameled studs recall the color of the “Power Pills” from the 1980s hit videogame, Pacman. Measuring a petite 15 cms x 27 cms x 3 cms, this clutch is at once secretive and bold. The almost cartoonishly exaggerated camouflage print and bright colors make the bag decisively feminine. All together, a splendid exercise in colliding military chic with haute fashion.

Camouflage Silk Twill Caftan Top

This Italian made silk top looks from a distance, perhaps, like a vibrant shower curtain. But not in a bad way, if that makes sense! Perhaps it’s the bold yellow outline. Perhaps it’s the squiggly pink purple-brown gold patterns. In any event, it’s smooth and surprisingly sexy.

Rockstud Canvas And Leather Tote Bag

Like the clutch, this gorgeous and surprisingly rich fashion concoction features neon leather lining, platinum ruthenium metal hardware and luscious calfskin. Made in Italy, the bag also boasts a neon leather reversible lining, double leather handles, and a detachable leather strap. The bright fiery oranges and yellows compete with the darker greens, blacks, and light greens: a battle between dark/somber military colors and fun/flirty yellower colors. The result is a bag that’s practically bursting with vitality.

Leather Camouflage Valentino Ballerina Flats

Simple, sexy, and surprising, these 100% calfskin flats feature this season’s camouflage print and a leather insole. The heels are bedecked in pinkish blackish cat-like pattern. The toe features bright yellow and black striping. Combined, it’s like two breeds of impossible tigers got mashed into a paste and then turned into a shoe (if that makes any sense) Explore these Valentino treats this Valentine’s Day!
