The Valentino Histoire bag is commonly known as the Valentino Braided Leather Shoulder bag, but whatever it’s called, it has been seen under the arm of some of Hollywood’s stylish and respected women.

Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Garner (in her Seven for all Mankind A-Pocket jeans) and Claire Danes have been seen toting around white, red and cream versions of this bag with braiding detail. I love the braided detail on the straps, but it has always seemed to me that there is a little too much going on. Though the outside pocket is perfect for little things like your lip glosses and keys.

What do you think, love it or loath it?

It’s available at Bergdorf Goodman from $1,695 – $1,795 in white, beige, red and a variety of patent leather colours.
