Versace | Quilted Snap Out of It Bag | $1,760 | View!
I like Versace, really I do, but this bag just doesn’t do it for me. IMO the designers at Versace need to snap out of it, tone it down a degree or two. There is way too much going on for me to fall head over heels for this Versace Quilted Snap Out of It bag. This Versace logo quilted leather fabric bag with its metallic gold leather braided arm straps and signature Versace-engraved gold metal studs and chain links and to top that all off this bag is ornamented with gold mirror plaque engraved with “Gianni Versace Couture”, and dangling to the side a removable strap attached to tiny keys that open the gold metal signature Versace-engraved locks. That sounds like a lot just writing it out, but see for yourself in the picture above. One characteristic I do like about this bag is the shape, mostly because it sort of reminds me of the Louis Vuitton Speedy. Just the shape though, nothing else about this bag looks anything like what you would see on a Louis Vuitton purse.

This Versace Snap Out of It Bag can be discovered at eluxury for a retail price of $1,760.

Celebrities and Their Handbags
Celebrity | Liz Hurley | Versace Canyon
A little bit late to be posting Celebrity Picture of the Day for Monday but I couldn’t resist posting this snapshot of Liz Hurley. So here she is leaving the Cipriani restaurant. Kind of hard to see, but the bag she is carrying is the Versace Canyon medium suede croc bag. To be honest at first I wasn’t too fond of this evening bag, when I first discovered it on eluxury I thought it looked like a squashed purse, but after rediscovering it on gorgeous Liz Hurley I have fallen for it.

If you adore this Versace Canyon then I have fantastic news, this collection is marked down in the clearance section of eluxury!

Versace | Canyon Medium Suede and Croc
Maybe it’s just me, but the shape of this bag confuses me. It looks like it got squashed. If this bag wasn’t Versace I normally wouldn’t take the time to tell everyone about it. However being as how it is from the famous Versace House I must tell you all about this Canyon Medium Suede and Croc Bag.

So while I don’t like the squished frame of the bag, I do love the gorgeous plush suede with croc-embossed leather combined with the polished gold metal buckles, rounded links and of course the iconic medusa medallion. This interestingly different bag is available in tan (which looks pink to me by the pictures), pale yellow, and white ivory.

As seen on the Versace spring 2006 runway this bag retails for a whopping $2,400. Check out this Versace Handbag at eLUXURY!

Versace | Couture Fringe
I love Versace handbags, purses, clothes, totes, whatever it is by the designer, you name it. However, this Couture Fringes extra large hobo bag is an exception to my fond craving for Versace glam goods. Main turn offs include the corset stitching with braided leather laces combined with the long leather tassels that move with ever step you take, to me this equals one fugly Friday bag. Oh and of coarse I mustn’t forget to mention this bag retails for $4,326.

I would rather spend that on a complete new outfit: Versace metallic monogram bag, Versace Charm sandals, Tom Ford Fonda sunglasses, Versace swarovski crystal necklace, Celine stretch cotton Poplin dress, and for the skin Guerlain super Aqua Day refreshing lotion, with $130 left to go out for lunch – a complete outfit that you will look stunning in!

**I apologize if you own this bag or designed it, please don’t sue me.
