Katherine Heigl likes red bags! After the Bally Jana bag she has another bag in bright red - Valentino Maison python bag!

This Valentino Maison bag was spotted from Katherine Heigl and Nicky Hilton already. It might be the next IT bag …

An authentic one from Neiman Marcus:

Here is the replica:

I had thought the replica has the leather pleated in the wrong way. But if you check this photo, you can see the replica was pleated correctly. The photo of the authentic was taken fron the front and the photo of the replica was taken from the back of the bag.

But you still can see the pleats of the authentic bags are hard-pressed while the pleats of the replica are not pressed - they look very loose and natural.

Hilton Sisters have a habit: if they like a bag they will get two same one in different colors. Maybe they just own one and swap them later? This Valentino Patent Nuage Bag is one of Nicky’s favorite. By the date of posting I am sure Nicky Hilton is the first and the only celebrity that has this bag.

Last year Valentino celebrated 45 years in fashion and has proven that he still has the Midas touch. His gorgeous Valentino Histoire Bag is getting a lot of attention and is favoured by Hollywood ladies such as Nicolette Sheridan, Jennifer Garner. Angelina Jolie, Jessica Simpson, Clare, etc. Jessica Simpson has two of them: black and red patent….

a replica:

A white bag may not be the most practical of accessories, but it’s a fantastic statement piece.

Check out this bag:

a real patent in white from Neiman Marcus:

a replica - it looks very similar to a real bag

I didn’t check out the real Valentino Histoire Bag yet. But I have a look at my friend’s replica Histoire Bag. The patent leather on this fake is quite soft. But because it is soft so it is easy to get creased. I believe you have to use it very carefully otherwise it will soon look like your grandma’s face.
