Versace accessories were the hottest luxury items back in the 90s. They used to be the ultimate status symbol of wealth, glam and luxury. While Versace dresses still are the among the best on the red carpets, its accessories have been struggling to make a come back. This red hot satchel would have been a super hot item fifteen years ago but it just somehow looks trying too hard for me now. Would you spend SGD2,400 on a bag like this today?

I think my next bag ought to be a hobo. It is not easy to find a great man hobo but I am willing to wait. Versace does not make many bags every season but sometimes they make great bags that are underrated hence unique and rare. This beautiful hobo is made entirely of buttery soft leather. The Medusa logo emboss is so subtle, it is almost invisible , especially on the white color version of this bag. This baby is part of the Resort collection. Price is around SGD2,300 from Saks.com.

I was just surfing the Harrods site since a friend will be visiting London this weekend and guess what? I stumbled upon this beautiful quilted nappa leather bag from Versace and I think it is a Versace bag to own. Not sure if the price has been discounted but for GBP549. It is an incredibly hot one!

I think Versace pretty much scored big with bags this season. Look at this adorable satchel! It might be structured but that blue, apple green color and the laser-cut details on the black patent leather are perfect combo and inject a huge dose of youthfulness to the bag. Admittedly Versace bags are not cheap in general but there are not many floating around too making it more unique to own and carry around. The Carla is available for shipping to many countries around the world via Nordstrom.com. The price to Singapore is SGD3,414.

Haha…. Donatella Versace is reviving the classic Versace for the pre-fall. Well with such a wealthy reference from Gianni Versace, I don’t think she could go any wrong. Remember the neon color suits Gianni made back in the 1990s? How about the over-the-top uber glam Medusa-decorated anything that we could not get enough of? I still remember how crazy I was over anything Versace back then even when I was only a teenager. Anyways, these bags are excellent bags to pre-order now and reach you by August. Each bag costs EUR1042.5 including shipping to Singapore via luisaviaroma.com.Take advantage of the cheap EURO now!!!

What a perfectly sculpted piece of work from Versace! I think this bag is very hot with its perfect balance between bringing back the brand’s 90′s va-va-voom and being current in today’s trend. It is also such an easy bag to pull off so making it a classic material. The sculpted Medusa Hobo is available at Saks for USD1,795.

If you had thought that this was a Rebecca Minkoff bag, you thought wrong. It is a Versace. It is nice to see Versace making a utilitarian bag that is not over-the-top and is pretty alright to be used as daily bag but at the price tag of SGD2,359, I am going to need many Medusa logos on my Versace bag or some of the Versace pattern quilting, don’t you agree? I had passed this bag as a SGD750 Rebecca Minkoff hobo too.

The house of Versace will have to trim down 350 jobs to stay track to become profitable within 2 years. This is exactly what happens when people start cutting down on luxury items. This translates to mortgages unpaid, kids stop going to school so really, while saving is of utmost important, if you could, keep spending, on luxury or not, because that is the only way the economy could turn back upwards.
In the light of luxury saving livings, this shoulder bag from the Italian house is just stunning but pricey. Don’t get me wrong… I love Versace’s true form of ultimate glam and luxury but I think Donatella should start balancing out the offerings from the brand with more affordable and simpler goods suitable for daily use in order to keep the revenue streaming in, just like its Italian counterparts named Gucci and Prada. Versace items are generally just way too special for most occasions. This shoulder bag is made of coated PVC, nylon, canvas and silk lining. Available at Saks for USD1,370.

It has been a while since there was a hot Versace bag and here we are again. This croc embossed satchel is classy, demands attention but not loud and flashy. I like how Donatella keeps the design of the bag simple with a very unique fan design and beautifully croc-embossed leather, all neat, even lady-like. Compared to other Versace bags in general, the price of this beauty is not bad either at Nordstrom for USD1,770. Featured here in Bouganville Pink, also available in Burgundy.
