What do these Thai celebrities think about their Valentino Garavani DeVain Bag?
This season, the Valentino Garavani DeVain bag has proven itself to be a springboard for creativity. Earlier this year, the bag was the central character of a digital creative project in collaboration with nine artists from around the world, including Thomas Albdorf, Enter The Void, Paul Octavious, Albert Planella, and more. From immersive AI-led videos and animation to vintage-inspired fashion photographs, the DeVain bag embodies the imaginative and innovative spirit of the Italian house and its creative director, Alessandro Michele.
Its impact does not stop there. As an accessory, it is the ultimate style catalyst. The shape of its body is sleek, minimalist and instantly recognisable–with a versatile handle that allows for different ways to carry it comfortably. Available in a range of colours and prints, it can be as quiet or loud as desired. To demonstrate its chameleonic ability, Harper’s BAZAAR invites Thailand’s biggest actresses and style icons–Film Rachanun, View Benyapha, and Freen Sarocha–to show off how they style their Valentino Garavani Devain bag. Celebrity stylist and fashion director of Harper’s BAZAAR Thailand, Luknut Sirivong Sukasemsin, joins them in this exciting project.

For Film Rachanun, fashion has never been just about dressing beautifully. It is a reflection of her feelings and identity at each moment in life—captured through the items that stay by her side. So when she first held the Valentino Garavani DeVain Bag, an image of “a relaxed day in perfect weather” instantly came to mind. Its effortless simplicity made her feel entirely herself.
The Valentino Garavani DeVain Bag adapts seamlessly to Film’s varied lifestyle—from workdays that call for understated elegance to laid-back days when she wants comfortable styling. “It’s a shape that makes me feel confident. It matches with so many outfits and stays minimal while still carrying its own identity,” she says.
View Benyapa

Whether it’s a workday, a dinner outing, or a casual hangout in a comfortable look, the Valentino Garavani DeVain bag instantly completes View Benyapa’s outfit. With its clean, understated design, the bag “feels like her” and suits her lifestyle perfectly. When asked to describe the Valentino Garavani DeVain Bag, she has two words: classic and classy.

To Freen, the Valentino Garavani DeVain Bag is timeless. It’s more than a fashion accessory; it’s a symbol of intention, growth, and all the moments she has shared with the bag along the way. The deeply treasured bag accompanied her on her last trip to Paris, where she carried it daily. The sight of it brings back warm memories from the city.
There are so many stories woven into this bag, she muses. Freen adds: “One day, if I pass on this bag to someone in my family, I hope they will be able to feel its strength, pride, and the stories woven into it.”

The Valentino Garavani DeVain Bag takes Luknut back to her early days right after graduation, when she started sewing bags to sell by herself. That feeling was the first driving force behind becoming a designer: simple yet full of passion. Its playful simplicity is a reminder of the joy of staying true to one’s personal style and individuality.
