Why Versace's Virtus handbag is this season's must-have accessory for women with bold fashion choices
If you're looking to upgrade your handbag collection, with something fresh and fierce, with the classic leather aesthetic, then look no further than 'Virtus', the new fall/winter 2019 handbag line from Italian powerhouse, Versace. For years, the nucleus of every Versace creation has remained constant. It is the brand for the 21st-century woman that exudes confidence and sensuality by her bold fashion choice.
The luxury fashion brand's latest offering is a complete collection of leather cul-de-sacs invoke the archaic designs from the Versace Spring/Summer 1992 runway, while also paying tribute to the brand's aesthetic heritage. Named after the Roman deity of courage, strength, character and excellence, the 'Virtus' line embodies these virtues in its range.
Adorned in an outfit that boasts the most recent style straight off the runway, adding a sophisticated yet classy handbag to the mix will add that extra oomph. The new collection encompasses a myriad of leather handbags that ooze elegance, class, style and, most of all, utility. Leather will never go out of style, so investing in a chic handbag only instills its preeminence as an everlasting piece of accessory. And with the new Virtus line, this sentiment rings true.
The most important detail to note, however, is the new 'V' motive embellished on the bag. The gorgeous gold-toned Barocco letter is meant to signify the brand in a minimalistic approach, but the chief creative officer puts a classic Versace spin to it, reincorporating the acanthus leaves from Gianni's iconic Barocco. The intricate vines mesh into the metallic 'V', giving it the appearance of an antique Roman paradigm.
The new collection is an assortment of finely crafted luxury shoulder bags and purses, unabashedly boasting its delicate craftsmanship. Made in Italy from the highest quality of svelte calf and python skin, you can choose from an array of different embellishments and styles — Swarovski crystal embedded charms, embossed leather, and vibrant patterns. The bags are fashion in a versatile dual-carry style with every shoulder bag also doubling as a purse be it fanny packs, totes, top handle or evening bags.
The new lineup also comes in a variety of colors from the classic and neutral hues to bold block shades, as well as textured patterns. It is the brand label's way of encouraging its women to be unapologetically themselves, confident with their fashion choice, but most of all ballsy and audacious when making mistakes.
