Versace Hilary Satchel in purple, have they got it right?
So some of you will be v surprised that I’ve never had a Versace handbag here on cheapdesignerbags before but some of you will probably know that Versace really don’t make great handbags. Who knows why this is since they seem to excel at (mostly) everything else but they have had some really famous failures in the bag world that I won’t go into here. However I do believe in second chances and have decided to bring you this very interesting Versace Hilary Satchel in purple that has just been released. One of the things i like about this Satchel is its no more complicated than it needs to be (a problem with previous Versaces), even the ringlets on the side fit in with the overall look complementing the straps and handle buckle.

I know many of you will balk at the thought of a purple bag but fear not as I think this particular shade of purple is going to fit well with a lot of outfits as we head into winter. All blacks and most grey shades are going to work really well so I don’t think there should be any clashing catastrophes. Another cool thing with this handbag is how functional it seems to be, even if I do wish it was a tiny bit deeper the overall size is great as its going to carry all the essentials plus a few magazines and papers too!
The only problem I have found so far is the price which at over £2000 is quite steep. I suppose Versace are hoping to trade on their brand a bit here and while part of me says yes ok another part says they are still the new kid on the block when it comes to handbags. If they really want to announce their presence in this part of the fashion world then why not start at £1000 and build up a fan base? They’ve don’t it before.
