Valentino Garavani Bags

The Valentino Garavani bag built its reputation on two signatures: the pyramid Rockstud launched in 2010 by Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli, and the Roman Stud chevron unveiled in 2020. Our selection brings together 392 pre-owned Valentino Garavani bags, authenticated by our experts, priced from $54 to $6,300 (average $817).

The iconic models

The Rockstud, identifiable by its pale-gold or ruthenium pyramids, comes in small, medium and large, with or without flap. The Roman Stud sets oversized studs across three-dimensional quilted leather, in medium or small. The VSling (2019) brings a soft hobo silhouette with V-Logo, the One Stud (2022) goes minimalist with a single stud, and the Glam Lock keeps the rotating V-clasp. For specific use cases, browse handbags (289 pieces), totes (36 pieces) and clutches (26 pieces).

Leathers, sizes and hardware

The line splits across smooth calf, grained leather, quilted nappa and Iconographe canvas. Smooth calf scratches more easily but ages with a flattering patina; grained leather handles daily use and holds its shape. On hardware, pale gold remains the most sought after; ruthenium and the colored PP-Pink editions stand out among Piccioli-era releases. Sizes run from the Mini Rockstud (~20 cm) to the large tote (~40 cm).

Retail vs pre-owned

At retail a medium Rockstud sits above $2,500, a medium Roman Stud near $3,400 and a grain-calf VSling around $2,600. The second-hand market concentrates the discontinued Piccioli releases: PP-Pink capsules, the Atelier Bag with sculpted pleats, Iconographe canvas. 247 bags in our selection are in very good or excellent condition, 40 never carried.
