Valentino’s Nellcôte bag is already becoming the bag of the year 2025. Fashion icons like Alexa Chung and Bella Hadid can’t let it go.
On the one hand, it-girl Alexa Chung has a knack for spotting trends in advance. On the other hand, model Bella Hadid shows a great sense of anticipation in her looks. And both chose the same bag: the Nellcôte by Valentino.
The Nellcôte combines the elegance of the luxury brand and the fashionable boho look. It is a suede bag decorated with long fringes and silver rivets. The style goes well with both winter and summer outfits. Alexa Chung recently combined it with red high heels, jeans and a fluffy coat.
Bella Hadid highlights her western-inspired style with this bag. The model often goes for the cowgirl aesthetic by wearing denim shorts, cowboy hats or suede capes. With the Nellcôte bag, she has obviously found the perfect accessory to complete her outfits. Most recently in New York, she wore the bag with a simple black top, smart beige dress pants and cowboy boots.
Whether in a cowgirl look like Bella Hadid or as a statement piece like Alexa Chung, the Nellcôte bag has everything to become the it-bag of the year. It’s also largely because the boho style permeates next summer’s collections.
The Nellcôte bag is part of the Valentino Garavani collection, which is inspired by the eclectic essence of the 60s. It was designed by Alessandro Michele for his first collection at Valentino. The former Gucci designer, who joined Valentino in April 2024, is known for refreshing classics. Sold for 2210 francs, this bag represents a certain investment. However, there are cheaper fringed bags from other brands.
