Best Versace Handbags – Our 12 Top Picks
Bold and stylish, the best Versace handbags ooze Italian style, luxury and chic. Here are 12 stunning Versace bags to consider.
1. Versace La Medusa Small Hobo Bag
Review
The La Medusa Small Hobo Bag provides a stylish twist on the classic hobo bag style. This petite bag is the perfect mix of vibrancy, class, and stylish slouch.
The light pink calfskin leather is a beautiful backdrop for the raised medusa-head icon, which is synonymous with Versace as a brand. The gold fittings complement the already striking colour.
Dainty but mighty, the pure cotton interior of this bag has a flat pocket to keep cards safe and is certainly big enough to hold your necessities.

2. Versace La Medusa Medium Hobo Bag
Review
The La Medusa Medium Hobo Bag is one of my personal favourites! This classic black & gold combo is discreet and timeless. Well-balanced proportions make it a far more practical shoulder bag without making it feel bulky.
The lightly grained calf leather used to make the body of the bag is sumptuous, inviting touch while resisting the stress of daily use.
The cotton interior of this bag is relatively spacious. It has a zipped internal pocket for smaller valuables that you want to keep safe. All in all, this is a beautiful day-to-day bag!

3. Versace La Medusa Small Shoulder Bag
Review
Looking for a pretty, preppy shoulder back that mixes bold colours with a classic design? Then this La Medusa Small Shoulder Bag is just what you need.
I love its dainty size and the bold contrast between the fuchsia and pink colour combo. The Medusa plaque, which is affixed to the face of the covering flap, is both eye-catching and subtle thanks to the uniform colour and glossy finish.
Though the interior of this bag is petite, it has space to hold the bare essentials. Your keys, phone, and cardholder will be perfectly safe in its high-quality, Nappa leather interior.
The Serpenti Forever Top Handle Bag (with shoulder strap) is also worth a look as its mix of discreet lines and striking yellow really catches the eye.

If you crave a touch of texture with your shoulder bag, the La Medusa Studded Shoulder Bag is a match made in heaven.
The striking macro studs add wow-factor to this futuristic statement piece. Discreet black detailing and gold-tone metal fittings work well with the white look.
Lined with leather and featuring magnetic closing mechanisms, this is a surprisingly functional bag that has a good amount of space for all of your necessities.

The La Medusa Studded Round Camera Bag is very much a statement piece. Available in pink, white, and my fave… orange, this casual bag will still turn heads.
Made from high-quality Italian leather with a Medusa plaque and funky studded texturing across the body, this is the perfect whimsical day bag that screams fun.
The medusa plaque, round studs, and gold-tone fittings give the bag a touch of classic Versace luxury. The cotton & acrylic interior has a flat pocket to help you keep small valuables and credit cards safe.

6. Versace La Medusa Medium Handbag
Review
Available in a range of punchy colours, the La Medusa Medium Handbag is your go-to study bag with style. The shiny, chunky chain is reminiscent of some of the bolder fashions of the early 2000s.
This vibrant piece pulls no punches in terms of form or function. The smooth leather exterior also forms the lining, making this tough inside and out.
The metal fittings, shiny Medusa plaque and fine detailing, add the perfect finishing touches. Better still, this is a good-sized bag which will function well in day to day use.

25 x 15 x 22cm

7. Versace Virtus Tote Bag
Review
Simplicity at its finest, the Virtus Tote Bag is elegant, bold, and eminently practical. The sheer quality of the materials used is what truly elevates this understated design.
The supple and flexible calf leather that makes up the body is smooth and soft to the touch. Whether in red or black, it perfectly complements the gold-tone hardware and hanging ‘V’ charm.
The spartan interior is surprisingly spacious and features an interior zipped pouch. Perfect for keeping small valuables, cash, credit cards or wallets.
Also, consider the Coach Charlie Grained Leather Tote.

8. Versace Virtus Suede Crystal Clutch
Review
If you were to ask me to describe the Virtus Suede Crystal Clutch in as few words as possible; An all-out explosion of colour, sparkle, and texture.
Very much an evening clutch, this dainty clutch is positively bejewelled and packs a mighty punch for a small item. The magnetic closure on the flap makes it easy to access this bag on the go.
This is a small bag, of course, and far better suited to evening events than day to day use, so be aware that you won’t be able to fit large items into it. Travel light – this is a bag for the good times.

9. Versace Virtus Quilted Small Tote Bag
Review
This Virtus Quilted Crystal Clutch has a real 1990’s feel thanks to the quilted leather and its soft sheen.
The straight, regular lines stitched into the padded material give the surface a jaw-dropping geometric look. Eye-catching silver-toned ‘V’ icon and chain straps feed into the rock ’n’ roll colour scheme very well.
More glam than chic, this bag is still suited as a day-to-night piece. The interior of this Nappa leather bag is lined with cotton and segmented into three parts with a zipped central section.
Also, consider the Michael Kors Susan Medium Quilted Leather Shoulder Bag.

26 x 11 x 18cm

10. Versace Virtus Medium Handbag
Review
The perfect meeting point of classic Parisian chic and fine Italian craftsmanship, Virtus Medium Handbag is all smooth leather, fine stitching, and strong lines.
The panelled design gives this classic, black and gold handbag a slight edge but still not too showy for day to day use. A single bold ‘V’ logo draws your eye and adds a flash of glam to the plain leather.
Though not huge, this bag has a relatively spacious interior that should easily hold all of your daily necessities. So – why not approach your workday with style?

23 x 8 x 16cm

11. Versace Virtus Shoulder Bag
Review
Dominated by the oversized, gold Barocco ‘V’, the white leather Virtus Shoulder Bag is the perfect accompaniment to formal events, day or night.
Clean lines play a huge part in this fine example of classic Italian chic. A detachable white leather and gold chain strap adds functionality, plus the magnetic flap closure feels secure.
Surprisingly spacious given the style, the leather interior of this bag has a zipped pocket and a flat pocket to make organisation a little easier. Whatever you pair this bag with, prepare to be outshone!
Equally striking is the Fendi Karligraphy Patent Leather Shoulder Bag in blue.

24 x 9 x 16.5cm

12. Versace Virtus Studded Clutch
Review
Looking for a little black and gold elegance to spruce up a formal evening outfit? This Virtus Studded Clutch is perfect for the role.
The shining studs which dot the soft leather body give the bag texture and glitter. A large, gold Barocco ‘V’ in the centre of the closing flap makes a glamorous statement.
If you prefer to carry your bags on the shoulder, a delicate detachable chain will allow you to do so. The dainty interior is split into three compartments which make organisation easy.
