Pre-Owned Valentino — Authenticated Ready-to-Wear, Bags & Accessories | Old Fashioned Club
Few houses capture the romance of Italian couture quite like Valentino. At Old Fashioned Club, a Paris-based pre-owned luxury boutique founded in 2017, we bring together a curated selection of second-hand Valentino — ready-to-wear, leather goods and accessories — each one authenticated by our experts and supplied with a certificate of authenticity. It is an elegant way to access a remarkable fashion heritage at a fair price, the sustainable way.
The heritage of the house of Valentino
The house of Valentino was founded in Rome in 1960 by couturier Valentino Garavani, supported by his business partner Giancarlo Giammetti. International recognition came swiftly: the maison's 1962 show at the Pitti Palace in Florence announced a talent destined for legend. Rooted in the heart of Rome, Valentino grew into one of the great haute couture houses, celebrated for its gala gowns, masterful tailoring and unmistakably Italian sense of grandeur. Often called the last emperor of couture, Valentino Garavani dressed many of the most admired women of his era, making the house a byword for timeless elegance.
Iconic pieces and signature lines
The house's defining emblem remains Valentino Red (Rosso Valentino), the deep, luminous shade the couturier introduced in the late 1950s and that has run through every collection since. Among accessories, the Rockstud — set with pyramid studs inspired by Roman architecture — shaped the maison's modern identity: launched in 2010, it gave pumps, sandals and bags a refined, rock-edged allure. Garavani leather goods extend this vocabulary through lines such as the Roman Stud and the VLOGO Signature, where the bold V becomes an instantly recognisable hallmark. Cocktail dresses, structured jackets and graphic prints round out a design language that balances daring and romance.
What you'll find pre-owned at Old Fashioned Club
Our pre-owned Valentino selection spans the full breadth of the house. In leather goods, you may discover Rockstud, Roman Stud or VLOGO Signature bags, along with pouches and small leather accessories. The ready-to-wear edit gathers dresses, jackets and tailored pieces, while accessories include pumps, studded sandals, belts and scarves. As each arrival is one of a kind, we invite you to browse our available leather pieces on our pre-owned luxury bags page, which is refreshed regularly.
Why buy Valentino second-hand
Choosing pre-owned Valentino means accessing an exceptional couture house at a fair price, in a spirit of sustainable fashion. Certain pieces from past collections are no longer available in store: the second-hand market gives a new life to sought-after, sometimes sold-out designs. It is also a responsible choice, extending the lifespan of garments and accessories built to last. Buying pre-owned from a specialist combines the pleasure of luxury with the reassurance of a verified purchase.
Our authentication tips
Authenticating a Valentino piece calls for a careful eye. Inspect the finish and regularity of the Rockstud or Roman Stud hardware, which should be perfectly aligned and firmly set. Check the logo engraving, the quality of the leather and the precision of the stitching. On ready-to-wear, examine the composition labels, the buttons and the cleanliness of the linings. The shade of Valentino Red itself — deep and subtly orange-leaning — is a useful consistency cue. In a market where counterfeits grow ever more convincing, professional expertise remains the surest guarantee.
