When I first saw this Versace Venita Bow bag, my immediate thoughts were, “Um, what exactly is going on here?” I’m not trying to be a smartass or anything, but seriously, I just didn’t get it. Then I tried to figure it out, and came to the initial conclusion that the bag was made of seatbelts. Oops.
So, if it wasn’t already obvious to you, this bag is not made out of seatbelts. It is made out of leather, even the straps. And although my first response was one of confused horror, since then the bag has grown on me a bit. I’m pretty sure that it won’t be the It bag of any season, but there’s a woman out there to love this bag.
The woven leather material is soft and luxurious, and the metallic strands add a touch of glimmer. The straps give what is already an unusually shaped bag a central focal point. The layered look is interesting. I feel like it might be more successful in a different color, as the fleshy beige makes all those straps look just a bit creepy.
The handle has a sort of covered steering wheel look that made it sensible for me to assume that the rest of the bag was made of seatbelts. Right? I think the handle might work on something more minimal, but here, it’s just another distracting detail to add to the rest. While I can’t say that I hate this bag, it does have a sort of bizarre charm, I’m just not exactly sure who it’s right for or what they might wear it with.
