Named after the numbers of the historical Valentino headquarters, this capsule collection pays homage to the Maison with the products called: the Paris Place Vendome, Milan Turati and Rome Mignanelli.

Reflecting not only the important places close to the House and the ethos surrounding couture, the process of creation occurred completely in one of the finest workshops in Japan, emphasising the skills of artisans who have dedicated their careers to this craft.
