Valentino Bags are made using the same traditional, hands-on process that Mario Valentino pioneered during the twentieth century. The journey starts in Santa Croce, Italy, where each piece of leather is meticulously selected for quality, cleaned, and treated to create the signature finishes and textures that signify a Valentino Bag.
