Valentino

[m_lim]

i really want the caged flats in pebbled leather.

authentic kaya mga binebenta sa Hang Lung Center in Causeway bay hong kong???

[foxymom]

hi sis, na confirm mo if authentic nga?

[m_lim]

^hindi pa sis eh! pero confident friend ko na mga resellers daw dito sa manila namimili rin doon.

para siyang isang condo na may mga designer goods.

Why don't you buy from Saks/Bergdorf & use Johnny Air?

[vhanya]

m_lim, cheaper ba if dun bumili?

I buy from travels abroad. Kaso parang padami ng padami na naman may Valentino studded/caged flats. Hmp! I only have 1 pair of studded flats in black and 1 pair caged flats with heels in beige.

[foxymom]

^yes dumadami na nga i sadly have 4 pairs... and waiting for the sales to get more. addicting sya

[vhanya]

^It is addicting nga foxymom. =)  Parang Roger Vivier flats are more versatile for me though so mas ito binibili ko in diff colors . Sorry for the OT

[aquacharly]

I prefer Viviers too,  they're classics, IMO.  Even the striped pair I got 4 years ago have kept their shape. 

The Valentinos  -- I haven't seen these go on sale.  But "everyone"appears to own a pair here.
I stopped at 2 pairs, unless I see new combinations next week in NYC.

i love RV too! i just have 2 pairs though since my husband would always tease me when i wear them. they call them lola shoes (dont kill me!) -- went to several parties and ladies wearing RV were the more matured ones (mostly the friends of my mother in law). kaya eto natigil sa 2

^^ Yes, Viviers are totally classy. Not to rub in my age and preferences, but classics indeed become far more attractive as one ages gracefully!

As for Valentinos - never got any of the caged flats or heels. Instead, I am more into their clutches.
Got the Valentino Rockstud Leather Flap-Top Clutch Bag in Bordeaux and lovin' it!

[vhanya]

^Haha yup their bags are really nice. Got the rockstud nappa leather top handle bag in pink. MIL has it is black =)

[insanelypurpleprincess]

^ I am not a pink person, but I am sure it suits you perfectly. This is the one that has rockstuds on the top handle ano? Tapos kinda trapeze-ish in shape? What size did you get?

[vhanya]

Yup! Got the medium size

[insanelypurpleprincess]

^ Nice! Thanks for confirming. Looks like I can get my Valentinos right somehow.

[vhanya]

NP I can relate. Their names are sooo confusing =) Not a pink person too but the light pink shade is really nice =) More like blush yung color.

[insanelypurpleprincess]

^ True that! Because you made mention that you're not a pink person also, I got intrigued and finally googled the bag you got just so I can see how it looks like in pink. You're right. Didn't come off as pink when I first looked. In fact, it felt like dark metallic salmon to me, but again --- when it comes to colors, I am horrible in distinguishing unless tones of purple (of which I am addicted to!) But when you also said blush, I kinda get what you mean.

How are the Valentino bags in the long run? I was supposed to get my mom a bag a few months back but parang the quality isn't so good? Ended up getting her YSL.

Re Roger Vivier, where is the best place to get them? I've been wanting a pair for some time but it's 300+gbp for a pair here and feeling ko it might come out cheaper if I hope over to Paris.

[vhanya]

^ my valentino bag is ok naman. RV flats in Paris cost 420euros before tax refund

[little_princess]

Thanks! It's roughly the same price here lang papa so I don't have to wait

Ano ang mas ok yung rock stud heels na patent or yung matte? Im torn between the two. Yun ang pamasko ko sa sarili ko this christmas. And i am excited for it.... :-)
