Versace Goes Metallic

[brian]

MILAN, Jan 5, 2006/ FW/ ---

It’s all about style, class and opulence with the Versace Spring 2006 accessories collection.


It’s the ‘new mood’ at Versace – ‘modern, refined and accessible,’ where glamour is no longer the privy of the silver screen sirens and has been made reachable for the real woman.

Enter the Versace metallic fringe bag, in either gold or silver finish. It’s beautiful, glamorous and a fashion statement unto itself.
It’s for the woman on the go, who leads a very busy lifestyle. She might be a working girl, who goes to the office everyday. Or, she might be a member of the jetset, basking in the sun in the Mediterranean or having lunch in Paris.

No matter which one she is, the metallic fringe bag fits her.
With gorgeous details like tiny eyelets on the handle laced with strips of metallic leather and the fringe woven like carbon atom structures using tiny lacelocks, plus braided accents, the workmanship can only be described as par excellence.

Using traditional ‘criss cross lacing’ as an embellishment, the bag was built on classic craftsmanship added with innovative touches like ergonomic design such as room for mobile phones, PDA, make-up and all the other things that a girl usually carries in her purse.

The best thing about it, it can go from day to night! No more worrying of changing purses if you are in hurry to go to an informal dinner with friends. Just grab the Versace metallic bag and you will surely turn heads the way you did earlier during the day!
The Versace metallic bag is available this spring in Versace boutiques around the world. For more information, please log on: www.versace.com

I dont like these bags at all..too much fringe at the bottom.

 

[Greendrv]

Yeah, I agree with vintage. Too much of everything. I like my metallics to be more subdued.

versace needs a lobotomy

 

[Guessgirl96]

Look very cheap

 

[pink_lipgloss]

they look exactly like bags they sell at the markets for like $5.

 

[oceanharlot]

they look like plant hangers

"She might be a working girl..."

Do they mean a) a woman who works in an office or b) what you'd normally assume from the phrase "working girl"?

 

[Diorling]

...At least they tried. At least they tried to make an It-bag too bad it's absolutely hideous, metallic fringe? Western-prostitute-goes-to-Vegas. Perhaps if the fringe was done in a different material, perhaps black with silver metallic fringe or brown with bronze metallic.

Points for effort, wait till Paris has it.

How do these bags embody the 'new mood' at Versace?

If anything, they seem to make me think of everything that I would normally associate with Versace: showy, cheap-looking, glitzy.

 

[Guessgirl96]

I was curious to see what else they had so I checked out style.com. It's not nearly as bad as the metallic fringe bags, but still nothing i'd buy..

 

[vintage_princess]

Those bags compared to the metallic ones..I know which ones I'd carry!

 

[CherryBomb01]

Yuck, too much fringe and I agree, they look cheap.

 

[PrincessImp.]

[Pinky*]
