Valentino Garavani’s New Classics Are A Timeless Take on The Season’s Must-Haves

As part of its Pre-Fall 2024 collection, Maison Valentino has launched the VLogo Locker Mary-Jane pumps and the Ohval bag. Since their debut, the accessories have been spotted on It girls such as Freen Sarocha, Prim Chanikarn, Juwei Teoh, Juné, each styling the chic duo in their own way.

Valentino Garavani Ohval Bag

Leave it to Valentino Garavani to refresh of-the-moment styles using its Italian savoir faire and rich heritage of timeless designs. Best described as the new classics, the Valentino Garavani Ohval Bag is a sleek new addition to the Italian house’s robust legacy of beautifully crafted handbags. Characterised by its smooth, oval silhouette, the bag is the Maison’s take on the beloved saddle bag. As with all of its leather goods, the mastery is found in the details: Contrast stitches along its edges have been crafted with a special machine that sews the silhouette already in shape (rather than when flat) to create the effect, offering a refined and delicate appearance, and the iconic VLogo in the front serves as a turn-lock closure. 

It’s available in two sizes and a classic palette of colours that goes with everything from diaphanous day dresses to denim. Spacious interiors and an additional crossbody strap also means you can rest assured it will be as functional as it is fashionable. 

Thai actress Prim Chanikarn, for example, paired her camel Ohval with a flirty ruffled top and boot cut jeans—a sweet way to style the bag for a date night look or a weekend about town.

Freen, on the other hand, wore her black Ohval with a matching black blazer, a polished way to bring the saddle bag to the office or to other formal engagements.

Valentino Garavani VLogo Locker Mary-Janes

Now, we all know that ballet flats are having a moment, and Valentino Garavani has long been creating fanciful flats for fashionistas. But this season, the crowd-favourite shoe gets a makeover in the form of the VLogo Locker Mary-Janes.

Feminine and demure, the quintessential silhouette takes on a square-toe shape, complete with the VLogo The Bold Edition statement metallic accent with a turn-lock fastening on the elastic band to ensure ease and comfort of wear. The heel is also foldable to enable a slip-on style, and is offered in array of luxurious materials including leather, animalier, velvet and more, as well as precious and limited-edition versions with crystals to go with your most fabulous party frock.  

We love the way Araya Hargate wore her black leather version with culottes and a striped long-sleeved polo for a relaxed, sporty-chic look.

Alternatively, internet personality and tastemaker Juwei Teoh demonstrated how to go girly by pairing her cherry red Valentino Garavani VLogo Locker with white long stockings and a puff-sleeved bandeau top. As she described it herself in the caption: “It’s not just a colour, it’s a mood.”

Valentino Garavani’s Ohval Bag and VLogo Locker Mary-Janes are available at the new Valentino boutique at #B1-16/17, The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands.
