VERSACE Bags

Founded in 1978 by the visionary Gianni Versace, the history of this fashion house endlessly fascinates the world of haute couture. Attracting attention for its extravagant creations overflowing with style and savoir faire, Versace quickly climbed to the top of the fashion industry. Thanks to the influence of Princess Diana, supermodels and celebrities, the brand's notoriety grew immensely in the 1990s. When the celebrated designer passed in 1997, his younger sister and muse, Donatella Versace, stepped into the artistic direction of the Italian luxury label. She continues to carry on her brother's legacy by creating bold and sexy collections, yet always glamorous.

The Versace Handbag

Versace's emblematic Virtus bags strike the perfect balance between simplicity and superfluity. Each purse in this all-leather line is emblazoned with a large golden Barocco "V," one of the label's most recognizable motifs along with the Greca and Head of Medusa. The small Virtus Versace shoulder bag , also features an adjustable, removable strap and dainty top handle for easy carrying. Pair the Virtus shoulder bag with a black mini dres set off by puff sleeves in the iconic Barocco Rodeo print and Chain Reaction Sneakers in white leather for a sporty-chic ensemble. Or take the look to the next level and opt instead for the high heel Labyrinth boots with serrated rubber sole.

Luxury Handbags by Versace

This classic model may be the perfect everyday Versace black bag, but the Virtus bag also comes in a range of lively colors. You can't go wrong with the bright pink evening bag in leather , totally eye catching, or the sumptuous leather bucket bag in vibrant red. Although more subtle, Versace still causes a stir with the Greca buckle bag in black leather. Embellished with a reinterpretation of the brand's signature Greek key detail, this gorgeous design reflects the fresh new direction taken by the Milan fashion house.
