Okay, so I’ve been eyeing this Valentino grey purse for a while now, and I finally decided to go for it. Let me tell you, it was a whole process.

First, I started by digging around online, just to make sure I was getting a good deal, you know? I checked out a bunch of different websites that sell designer bags, comparing prices and looking at pictures from every possible angle. I even read a ton of reviews to see what other people were saying about the quality and if it was really worth the splurge.
Then I headed to a few stores. I wanted to see the purse in person, feel the leather, and check out the size. I visited Nordstrom, ’cause they usually have a pretty good selection of Valentino. I also popped into a couple of smaller boutiques that carry high-end brands, just to cover all my bases.
- At Nordstrom, I found a few different grey Valentino bags. They had a quilted one for $3,590, which was way out of my budget, and a Rockstud Spike one for $2,550, which was still pretty pricey.
- They also had this suede one with fringe for $2,450, but I wasn’t really feeling the fringe.
I tried on a few different styles, even though some were way out of my price range, just to get a feel for them. I was paying close attention to the details, like the stitching and the hardware. I also made sure the size was right – not too big, not too small. I also noticed some bags are made with Polyurethane which I don’t like.
After all that, I went back online. I found a pre-loved Valentino tote for a much better price than the new ones. It was still an investment, but definitely more within my reach. I also stumbled upon this website called ShopStyle that lets you set sale alerts, which was super helpful.
I ended up finding a “Valentino by Mario Valentino” grey purse on some random website. It had a “Rock Stud” design, which I liked, and it was on sale for $499.97. The other one is a “Nina Rock Leather Crossbody Bag” for $349.97. Score! I double-checked everything, made sure it was authentic, and pulled the trigger.

Now I’m just waiting for it to arrive. Fingers crossed it’s everything I hoped for! I’ll definitely keep you guys posted. This is the experience to get a valentino grey purse. Hope you enjoy it.
