In the Rockstud's rather short life, it is been worked and reworked in what seems like a million completely different ways. Crystals, camouflage, butterflies, stripes, leopard, red studs, black studs, pastel studs: people are just the versions that popped into my head whereas typing. For Fall 2016, Valentino has bestowed upon the hermes birkin bag an embellishment they've somehow never had prior to: quilting.
Despite the fact that quilting (specially diamond quilting, and especially alongside chain straps) is so heavily associated with Chanel, the studding tends to make these leather tote bags feel unmistakably Valentino. Which, if you should think about it, may be a pretty neat trick to ensure the Rockstuds' longevity: the style has lived so countless lives that Valentino could do nearly anything to it, and as long because the studs and delicate chain were intact, it'd even now feel ideal. Check out all the runway bags, quilted and not, below.
