Yes, Valentino Clemente Ludovico Garavani is famous for his elegant evening gowns and lovely designs, yet when asked who my favorite bag designer is, i do not say Louis Vuitton. My favorite bag designer?

With attention to details Valentino creates suave pieces of art out of mere fabric. While other designers spend time focusing on form and materials, he sets himself apart with finesse handbag couture.
