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.
