If you’ve seen Zendaya in the current #ValentinoRomanPalazzo campaign, chances are you would have spotted the Alcove as well, a new-in handbag photographed together with the global superstar that’s all over Valentino’s social media pages. Yes, the boxy-looking bag is officially the one to watch for the season, as it looks set to charm with its fully studded VLogo Signature hardware sitting right in front.

Valentino’s Alcove will come in 2 sizes, but today is all about the small size which measures 19 cm wide and 14 cm high. While designer bags typically come with a single closure (or buckle) in the middle, the Alcove features two distinct twist-lock closures on both corners, giving you that extra bit of security while adding to its charm.

You will also notice that duality is key with the bag, which you’ll see in the double top handles and roomy interior separated into two equal parts. One side can be used for keeping your beauty essentials, while the rear compartment can hold everything else. And should you need even more space, just look out for the extra pocket in front (behind the oversized VLogo), which is great for keeping quick access cards and other bits.

Priced at SGD5560 for the one in small (the larger medium will retail for SGD6400), you can call 6509-8062 (ION Orchard) or 6688-7186 (Marina Bay Sands) for more info and ordering deets. There’s just one colour in black grainy calfskin for now, paired with antique-brass hardware that’s as classic as it gets.
