We visited Versace at NorthPark Mall in Dallas, Texas on our tour through various Luxury designers to get first hand information about the brand.
As we know, Versace is a staple of Italian luxury. Being considered one of the most iconic and well known for its Signature Medusa logo. Versace, in their various lines of products implement bold and stand out applications of styles. Their typical applications include the use of genuine calfskin leather, although in some product lines such as clothing, you can see implementation of other high grade fabrics and canvas.
Versace is well known for their use of their vibrant gold which is very unique and iconic which is used in the production of fabrics like clothing.
Versace’s most recent product line is known as “Greca” which was launched in 2021. People typically confuse Greca for the “Greek Key” pattern which is a more vintage style that is still commonly used and loved by many. Although many seem to confuse the two when it comes to referencing the style. We have examples below to give a basic example of which is which.
Versace’s previously released line “Virtus” has also been very successful and has been a trending style type since 2019

Luxury Handbags are more than just a typical purchase in most cases. Anyone who is devoting a larger sum of money i.e. $2000 – $5000 to purchase a handbag is making an investment whether it be consciously or unconsciously. Those with lower income brackets are almost always consciously aware of this as making an investment, due to this having a higher level of impact on their lifestyle and it takes a lot of planning or designating savings to make the purchase.
When you make an investment it is important to keep all aspects of that investment in tact. This means that while some people choose to discard additional items from the purchase, it is imperative that you do not do this. For your handbag to retain its highest resale value, the most important thing to do is to keep all additional pieces this includes the box the bag came in, the care cards, certificates of authenticity or original purchase receipt, as well as the dustbags or covering accessories and of course anything detachable i.e. straps, charms, ribbons, etc.
By discarding these you lower the integrity of the bag and make it less of a assured purchase to any reseller or marketplace. Then people viewing the bag may like it and want to purchase it, but may be warded away from the purchase when they see all they would receive is the bag. Many resellers have to use third party authenticating services in order to validate the bag and have proof of authenticity which aside from being an extra expense, still is not as assuring as the original COA that comes with the bag.
So the moral of the story is this. If you are investing in a new bag. Be sure to always retain any items that come with that original purchase. As you can be rest assured that when you are finished with your new cherished item, you can get the highest return on it when you are ready to resell or consign it over to a location to have it sold again.
