When we first got a glimpse of Miranda Priestly wearing Valentino Rockstud heels in the trailer of The Devil Wears Prada 2, many internet comments questioned the choice of the nostalgic shoes in 2026. But then they quickly popped up again on the Valentino Fall/Winter 2026 runway (Dakota Johnson even wore them to the show), cementing their return… or rather, a Rockstud renaissance.
And now, Valentino’s Rockstud bags are having their own moment. After first debuting exactly a decade ago, the iconic Garavani Rockstud Spike Bag has just been reimagined. After subtly debuting at the same Fall/Winter 2026 show, the new bag is officially available to shop. The signature studs, quilted surface, adjustable chain strap, and turn-lock closure are still there, but now designed as an elongated shoulder bag silhouette in timeless neutrals.
Available in glossy black or burnt orange goatskin leather and rich grey suede, the nostalgic bag is as chic as ever. It’s also more wearable than ever thanks to the roomier silhouette and convertible strap that can be worn as a shoulder or crossbody bag. Wear it like Valentino’s runway models with statement coats and sleek blazers, or pair it with a good pair of jeans for dinner plans and a dress for special occasions.
We think this equally versatile and iconic bag is an investment piece that you’ll actually get a lot of wear from. For many, it’s been a closet staple for the last 10 years, and we’re sure it’ll serve you well for at least the next 10.
