Something moving happened to me when I saw this bag by Valextra for the first time a few weeks ago. I was flipping through the pages of Wallpaper (I think) when I saw the advertisement showing this bag. Of course, the bag was perched on a rock overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. It brought me back to trip I took in 2003 where a friend of mine and I hiked for a week along the Cinque Terre in Italy. If only I had this bag! There is no doubt this bag is beautiful. Its white leather softness with beautiful baseball stitching has me sold. But it’s brand position of being a bag for carefree days on a Mediterranean coastline really sells me.
