The idea of opposites seen with the bags on the Bottega Veneta runway was carried over to Versace, where purses and bags–in sizes small and medium only, thank you very much–were created from, you guessed it, contrasting materials. The dainty yet modern design of the bags are pretty appealing; I particularly love how the inlays and decorations are bright where the main material is dull, or dull where it is bright. For those who necessitate an over-the-shoulder bag, some are also designed with short straps that feature the Greek fret motif as decoration–and not as a logo, which the brand emphasized. But, because this is Versace, there is some added glitz courtesy of some metal mesh bags with Swarovski crystals that capture the play of light beautifully.
