Italy, Built on Fashion

The high-quality craftsmanship and luxury designs since the 11th century, as well as the manufacturing and export of luxury designs, brought Italy into the first row of unique categories of high fashion.

Fashion has become a very important factor for Italy thanks to the textiles and accessories sector that is continuously growing. It came one of the most important icons in the world for all the income generated, the number of employees, and all the prestigious brand companies involved. The creativity is rooted in years of value for culture and beauty.

For instance, the taste for the beautiful is today represented by the Italian fashion industry and people are influenced to express themselves freely as they choose through fashionable pieces from prestigious designer brands.

Firstly, Versace as a brand has always been known for its ornateness. Gianni Versace had a taste for indulging the senses, often using a lot of gold and metal in his clothing. Secondly, Donatella Versace has carried on this tradition. In the Versace designer handbags, this translates as bags with lots of hardware, with surface details like embossing, embroidery, and the use of exotic skins.

The woman who carries Versace handbags is bold, go-getting, and an unapologetic show-off. Take the Versace LA MEDUSA camera bag, for instance. The bag grabs attention with its leather material, glamorous and unique style. The bag is contemporary and versatile, the perfect companion for one’s occasion. It is crafted in premium leather and available in a range of colors.
