Valentino is one of those designers I constantly return to because these things bring so much personality to my wardrobe. Craftsmanship immediately comes to the fore with embroidered textiles, jacquard, lace and intricate embellishments that add depth and dimension. Each style feels distinctive, yet timeless enough to wear for years, which is why Valentino is worth the investment.
While looking at the Cruise and Spring 2026 collections, I kept taking screenshots and saving them to my photos folder. So many pieces were standing out. Embroidered jackets, paisley prints, feathered accents and decorative accessories appeared everywhere, adding a layered, expressive feel. Some highlights include the paisley set, the striped raffia bucket bag and the feather-trimmed paisley blouse. The printed set makes a statement when worn together, but each piece looks good on its own.
small jacquard shoulder bag Has been my most worn accessory lately. The tapestry-style pattern adds enough interest to be worn with everything from silk trousers to denim and knits. This has quickly become one of those bags I reach for all the time.
