THE SUN’S coming out, invites are flying in, and our social calendars are filling up. It’s the season when everyone’s venturing outside, hitting the town and booking holidays. Countless weddings, rooftop evenings and outdoor dinner parties all need a show-stopping outfit.

Whatever you decide to wear, having scene-stealing designer purses as part of your arsenal will always help you make an entrance. Vibrant colours, alluring prints and modern silhouettes combine to deliver bags that symbolise all the fresh optimism of the summer season. Events can go long into the night. But we’re usually prepared for whatever situation comes up. Lipstick, keys, cleansing wipes, and our phones all need to be carried in a super-stylish purse.

 But heavy backpacks aren’t a chic accessory for a party, are they? So, we tend to favor the mini options that still let us carry our essentials yet hit the dancefloor with total abandon. There are plenty of dazzling designer bags on the market. From fluffy shearling and sequins to vibrant colors and trendy shapes, they’re guaranteed to put you in the party mood.

 We’ve rounded up our favourite summer-ready Valentino Garavani accessories: these will make you shine at your next soiree. Luxury bags are selling out fast, so here are the most covetable women’s designer handbags that will be lifelong investments.

Prints, Print, Prints Galore

Embrace the joy and energy of the warmer weather with equally vivacious and spunky accessories. From animal prints and geometric illusions to refreshing interpretations of a brand’s logo there’s plenty of ways to lift the mood of your outfits with handbags. Whether you’re wearing a simple black LBD or a bold, colorful get-up, pair it with vibrantly printed arm candy, and you’ll be ready to shine and socialize.

Architectural Silhouettes

Restrained elegance doesn’t miss. The new Valentino Garavani Letter Bag balances pared-back classic design with an exaggerated shape that makes a statement. It’s a versatile, timeless backdrop from which you can effortlessly build an outfit around. Two tone navy blue and white designs exude refined nautical vibes.

Dance The Night Away with Mini Bucket Bags

A bucket bag might not be the first thing that comes to mind when hunting for an eye-catching party clutch, but that’s why it’s so perfect. A little out of the box, it plays on the 70s influences everywhere right now. Spacious enough to carry all your essentials, a mini bucket bag will look stunning, dangling off your wrist.

Hot Pink’s Still the Colour of The Season

Bubbly, effervescent, and bursting with feel-good energy, bright bold colours are perfect for the summer season. On top of our wish list is the Valentino Garavani One Stud Bag in Pink PP, a favorite of countless style icons. If it’s good enough for Zendaya and Anne Hathaway, it’s a must-have.

Sleek Nod to the 90s

Got a look-at-me dress that you’re dying to wear for a party? Let the dazzling dress shine, and pair it with a sleek shoulder bag. Minimal, chic, and on-trend, it lets your outfit do all the talking. Plus, you’ll be wearing this staple accessory on rotation well past the party season. For some extra edge and rockstar power, choose studded options. Valentino Garavani’s sleek shoulder bags are splashed in vibrant summery green, cream, white and gold.
