Valentino Small Glamorous Tote, Handbag of the Day

Where tote bag versatility meets evening bag glamour, it's nothing other than a Valentino. The Small Glamorous Tote is covered in shiny black nappa leather and glimmering paillettes in sizes from small to large. Hand-embroidered flowers in bright, 3-dimensional pastels seem to jump off the design and Swarovski crystals and jet beads embellish and enhance. Totally fabulous. Features include a black satin lining, double leather handles and a detachable shoulder strap, magnetic top closure and one internal zip pocket. Available exclusively at Net-A-Porter for $2,795.

Although I don't purchase handbags, I always find the copywriting/PR for this section fascinating. But this one really takes the cake. Seriously, if you didn't know it was from Valentino, but say, found it with a Manhattan sidewalk vendor, wouldn't you say "eww ... "? Could they have found this at a crafts sale somewhere and sent it to you as a joke to see if you would write it up? This looks like someone ran amok at the craft store (and their glue-gun license should be revoked).
