Valentino does not publish a price history. This page is built only from dated records in our database: archived valentino.com product pages (2 exact-product series) and dated price lists published at the time. Every figure below is one size in one currency, never an average of the two, because a 25 and a 35 are different bags with different buyers. Where a list did not say which size it priced, the row says so rather than guessing. Sources are at the foot of the page.

What this means if you are shopping now
The house has not moved its models together: the Rockstud Small is up +76% since 2017 while the Locò Small has taken +0% since 2023, so which one you choose matters as much as when you buy. The counter you buy at changes the price: in 2026 the Rockstud Spike Medium was $3,200 in the US and €2,600 in Europe, about $2,952 converted — Europe 8% cheaper before you even claim the VAT back.
What owners actually say
Price is one half of the decision. Here is the other, drawn from the owner reviews we collect:
**Rockstud Spike** (4.47/5 from 5 reviews) — owners love the edgy rock-chic studs and surprisingly lightweight, versatile design, but many gripe about the delicate chain strap and studs catching on clothing, plus the high price for the size.
**Rockstud** (4.12/5 from 8 reviews) — owners love the supple leather, meticulously lined interior and three ways to carry it via the detachable chain and studded top handle, dressing it up or down from rock outfit to posh dinner.
**Roman Stud** (3.80/5 from 1 reviews) — owners love the edgy rock-chic studs and how the bag elevates any outfit, but many complain about the heavy weight, delicate studs that can loosen or scratch, and the chain strap digging into shoulders.
What you get back
Retail is only the price going in. These are the median asking prices across the live resale listings we track, against the newest retail figure we can cite for the same model:
| Model | Median asking (USD) | Newest cited retail | Share of retail | Listings |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Locò | $2,399 | $2,700 (2026) | 89% | 11 |
| VLogo Signature | $1,240 | $1,750 (2026) | 71% | 43 |
| Rockstud | $872 | $1,550 (2025) | 56% | 59 |
| Rockstud Spike | $1,778 | $3,200 (2026) | 56% | 19 |
The Locò holds best of the models here, asking about 89% of its newest cited retail across 11 listings. Asking prices are not sold prices, and a bag listed at 90% of retail may sit for months — but the ranking is a fair guide to which of these the secondhand market actually wants.
"1 of the 2 years since 2023 brought an increase on the Rockstud Spike Medium. None of them were announced in advance."
New is only half the question. Each price page above puts the current resale median next to retail, which is where you find out whether the size you want is worth buying used. Our Valentino analytics view charts the official-record models in euros.

Prices are retail list prices in the currency shown, before sales tax in the US and including VAT in Europe. Editorial lists are dated snapshots and a year's figure is the median of that year's cited prints. 2 cited series were left out because they end below where they start or rise faster than 20% a year, which for a house that only raises prices means the source lists covered different configurations; they remain in the database. This page is regenerated from the database after each price change.
