Is Valentino at OD's the same as Valentino Garavani?

No. OD's stocks Mario Valentino — an Italian leather accessories house founded in Naples in 1952, separate from the Valentino Garavani haute couture fashion house. Both are Italian, both use the Valentino name, but they operate as distinct brands. Mario Valentino focuses on leather bags, wallets, and accessories for everyday use.

What leather types does Valentino use?

Mario Valentino uses leather sourced from the Santa Croce tanning district in Tuscany — one of Italy's most established leather-producing regions. Finishes include saffiano (scratch-resistant, cross-hatch texture), soft nappa (smooth, supple), and grained calfskin. Hardware is brushed metal with tone-consistent stitching throughout.

What is the typical capacity of a Valentino camera bag?

Valentino camera bags are compact carry pieces — sized for a phone, card holder, keys, and small essentials. Most models measure 12–18cm across. For a full day's load, the shopper totes or bucket bags are better suited, with structured bases and open-top or zip access.

Are the bags genuine leather?

Yes. Mario Valentino bags are genuine leather construction — not bonded leather or PU alternatives. Each piece is sourced through authorised UK distribution and inspected before dispatch from OD's. Care instructions are included with each bag.

Is Valentino Bags the same as Valentino Garavani?

No — Valentino Bags is a separate Italian leather-goods brand by Mario Valentino, distinct from the Valentino Garavani fashion house. Both share the Valentino name and trace back to Italian designer heritage, but they operate as independent brands. Valentino Bags focuses on handbags, wallets and leather accessories at accessible-luxury price points, while Valentino Garavani is a haute-couture fashion house at a much higher price tier.

What ranges does Valentino Bags make?

Core ongoing ranges include Divina (signature V-logo line, our biggest at OD's), Ocarina (winter pebbled leather), Aella (structured shoppers), Cardano (mens crossbody and pouches), Frisa (shoulder bags), Hybris and Bigs (crossbody). New ranges launch each season. OD's stocks the full UK distribution.
