I am not saying that I like this bag but I do have some commentary (obviously). I saw this in the Versace store window and literally did a double take. I stopped and looked up at the store sign to make sure it was in fact Versace I was standing in front of and not some store selling Kooba or something. It is such a shock to see something so subdued and underwhelming. It made me kind of sad, I expect Versace to do hideous and crazy, it keeps things interesting. What’s not interesting is this practical tote with a reasonable amount of detailing. It’s as though Britney Spears married a nerdy nice guy and became president of her kids’ PTA or something!! And then I find out the price and I became even more disappointed – it would have been a really great punchline to say, but this bag is $5000!! But it is a tolerable $1300 for the large. The only thing totally objectionable is the Medusa head emblem but even that is small and non-obtrusive. Call the Rodeo Two Versace boutique to purchase, 310-205-3921.
Kelly I actually like it. I guess because it’s purple. I’m not a hard sell on that point lol. I liked their bubble bag, and I kinda like this “practical” tote.
I agree w/you that it looks similar to the ones Kooba make, very disappointing from Versace especially since the name reflects a sexier wild side. Perhaps in these economic time, they’re trying to be practical? The price is outrageous!! I just don’t think that bag is totally bland…
surprisingly simple and cute for Versace. But the price??? go for kooba!
If the Jimmy Choo Ramona Patent Bag and Marni’s eclectic style had a baby it would be the Vanite Patent Tote.
Love it.
All I have to say is, “Wow”.
Versace has finally put something on the market that isn’t insanely–um, hideous.
For some reason, I don’t think Donatella was behind this design…
Oh my, it’s so stunning, love the one in purple
You could rag on the fact that Versace is charging $1.3k for a vinyl bag (yep, it’s shiny plastic, not patent leather)
