This unit features a French AZERTY keyboard, all original parts, and comes with its iconic red ABS plastic carry

Designed in 1969 by Ettore Sottsass and Perry King, the Olivetti Valentine is more than just a typewriter — it’s an industrial design manifesto in bold, unapologetic red. Made for people who hate typewriters (or so they claimed), this is now a cult piece collected by museums, fashion houses, and anyone with a taste for revolutionary design.

This unit features a French AZERTY keyboard, all original parts, and comes with its iconic red ABS plastic carry case. No broken pieces, no replacements. Just the kind of honest wear you want in a real vintage piece: visible surface marks, especially on the plastic upper cover above the typebar section, and on the outer case, as clearly shown in the photos.

Still a showstopper. Still completely badass. Whether you’re writing your memoirs or just letting it sit pretty on a bookshelf, this Valentine is here to make a statement.

Condition: Good vintage condition. Fully functional. All parts are original. Light scratches and signs of wear, especially on the plastic upper panel above the typebar area and the outer shell.

Year: 1969–1970s
