Valentino introduces the Valentino Garavani Panthea bag, a striking creation by Creative Director Alessandro Michele. First revealed during Le Méta-Théâtre Des Intimités, Michele’s Fall/Winter 2025-2026 collection, the Panthea returns for Cruise 2026 as a statement of refined audacity.

Defined by a structured silhouette and sculptural metallic details, the bag features two enameled feline heads edged in gold and adorned with crystals, serving as both functional hooks and emblematic icons. Crafted from matte and waxed nappa leather in a chevron pattern, the Panthea balances bourgeois sophistication with underground edge. A detachable, eyelet-studded shoulder strap adds modern versatility.

Rooted in Valentino’s heritage, the feline motif traces back to a 1967 Haute Couture tunic and has since appeared across the Maison’s designs. Available in medium and small sizes, in hues of black, mud green, beige, and precious materials, the Panthea redefines femininity. It’s a stop in a long creative journey where legacy meets bold contemporary vision.
