Mario Valentino Spa was founded by Mario Valentino in 1952 in Naples, Italy.
The first products made under the Valentino name date back to the early 20th Century when Mario’s father Vincenzo was crafting made to measure shoes for, amongst others, the King of Italy.
Mario Valentino continued the family tradition and created a global fashion house. Mario is the inventor of the stiletto heel, and his own celebrity customers include Jackie Kennedy, Elizabeth Taylor, Naomi Campbell, and Maria Callas.
Valentino Bags were launched in 2000 and have fast become a selling brand in the market, recognised for their Italian design flair at an affordable price.
