Valentino Tuxedo Nappa Frame Bag

Every day I sit down at my office and find sweet bags to share with you. And every day I find sweet bags that I would like for myself. Do I buy them? Not very often. Bags are expensive, just i want to inform you.

The Valentino Tuxedo Nappa Frame Bag is perfectly, for a business day. While I can see the tuxedo resemblance, I also see the resemblance of a simple bowling bag with a bow slapped on top. So I am on the fence, and need a nudge to either side. The magnetic frame closure adds a structured look, along with the goldtone logo plaque. Dimensions are 16″W X 13″H X 4″D. Valentino Tuxedo Nappa Frame Bag available at Saks for $1795
