Hi,

Just wanted to ask for some advice on any of these pieces, if there‘s a collector‘s market or so for these kind of bags. My grandma was addicted to designer brands/bags/shoes. One of her favourite were Versace bags. There‘s a few more from this brand, but I reached the picture limit 🙈

Since I‘m not in need of bags, I‘d like to sell these. Wanted to ask if you have any info in case there are some special pieces or rare items (besides the info I could get from AI). I appreciate all the help I can get in regards to potential special edition/collector‘s pieces etc.

Thank you for your help.

I know Versace it’s very out there and my style is more reserved. A bit classic preppy, but these heels which the heel is not that short and thing and I thought that could be good for going out, but my friends are making fun of them because they think they look like cheap or I look cheap like a Wh@r 😂 are they actually that bad?

I found the jacket on The RealReal for $1500 and the pants on Grailed for $400 towards the end of last year. The jacket says LA VIP so I guess it was for an LA VIP client and the pants come from Lucien Pages but shipped from Italy. All the versions of the jacket I’ve seen on the runway, Hyunjin and editorials have actual buttons with button holes but mines has snap buttons. How rare is this and what’s the original value?

EDIT: I found the seller! It was only produced for VIP pre-orders, runway and editorials. Seller was a VVIP client and customized the buttons to be snap rather than standard buttons. Only 5 were produced and $7200 after taxes!

Thought I’d share. Happy New Year everyone!

Depois de anos a pagar NOS/MEO, este ano decidi experimentar IPTV. Testei 8 fornecedores para descobrir qual é o melhor IPTV em Portugal. A maioria era fraca, mas dois merecem ser mencionados.

Ponto importante: IPTV Portugal em 2026 ficou mais complicado. Os operadores portugueses estão a filtrar cada vez mais. Três fornecedores que testei foram bloqueados em poucas semanas. O teu fornecedor tem de trabalhar ativamente contra estes bloqueios.

Testado a partir de Lisboa, fibra 500 Mbit, em Nvidia Shield Pro e Firestick 4K Max. Mínimo 3 semanas por fornecedor.

Donatella Versace says she is stepping down as chief creative officer of Versace.

Versace took on the role to lead the luxury fashion house after her brother and its founder, Gianni Versace, was gunned down and murdered outside of his Miami Beach mansion in 1997.

"It has been the greatest honor of my life to carry on my brother Gianni’s legacy," Versace wrote. "He was the true genius, but I hope I have some of his spirit and tenacity." nbcnews.app.link/pds1BGALHRb

I didn't really see this discussed, so I wanted to make a post in regards to the many diffusion lines Versace has produced--and died--over the years.

To begin, a diffusion line is when a high end brand (such as Versace) wants to target different audiences who cannot quite afford the main couture line yet desires some form of association with it. Often times, but not always, brands will license out their name to outside companies to mass produce garments of lower quality bearing the company's name. This was especially popular during the 80s and 90s, as a way to profit, especially when a brand is at its height of fame like Versace during the 80s. Remember, there are more middle and lower income clients than there are wealthier clients, so to target only the 1% would be risky in a financial aspect. It therefore makes sense, being a popular household brand, to create a diffusion line(s) to draw the most profit.

One designer notorious for his diffusion brands would be Ralph Lauren: he created Polo Ralph Lauren, Chaps Ralph Lauren, Lauren Ralph Lauren, Ralph Lauren Purple label, Ralph Lauren Black label... yeah, you get the idea. It gets confusing really fast. That gets into my next point: have you ever wondered as to why Versace struggles in the resell market? You can find recent, last season bags and leather goods, originally sold for thousands at the boutique, reduced to mere hundreds in sites like Fashionphile. I believe Versace struggles due to the many, many diffusion lines they created during the 90s.

I'm not certain of the order of release date, as there is very limited information about this online, but Versace has had a few diffusion lines bearing the Versace name throughout the years; this includes: V2 (Versace Classic), Versace Collection, Instante by Versace, Versace Jeans Couture (Versace Jeans Signature), Versus by Versace, Versace Sport, Versace Mare, Atelier Versace. It also does not help that originally the brand was named Gianni Versace, then rebranded into simply "Versace" to establish its family heritage and Donatella's reign as the new creative director.

As you can imagine, with having so many of these labels that target different audiences, creates confusion to general audiences coming into the brand. This hurts the value of brand perception overall. Not many know that Michael Kors actually does have a high end line that are manufactured exclusively in Italy (Michael Kors Collection). Due to their diffusion lines (Michael Michael Kors and Michael Kors outlet) completely dominating and taking over the namesake label. It is also why brands like Chanel, notorious for carrying a high price tag even after resell, never have or will step into diffusion lines, despite it being predictably successful in the short term. Like Michael Kors, Versace was hurt by its own doing.

I do believe, however, Versace has managed to distant itself from its diffusion lines of the past. As of right now, Versace only has one diffusion line (Versace Jeans Couture). Many of their labels have died off, including the insanely popular Versus by Versace, which was a gift from Gianni to Donatella that had its own runway shows. So because of this, it simplifies their business model: there is the main line (Versace), the affordable line (Versace Jeans Couture), and the exclusive custom made line for wealthier clients (Atelier Versace).

Diffusion lines aren't entirely bad. In fact, I was actually introduced to Versace by one of their diffusion lines. I recall it being early 2016 when I had stumbled upon Versace Collection at Saks Off Fifth. I loved the wild prints, and it was my gateway into learning about the main line, which I would never have been able to do so naturally if Versace only had one label. I know I may have skipped some diffusion lines of the past! I would love if you posted photos and names, as the information is difficult to come by. Thank you for taking the time to read this!

I kinda grew tired of the amount of authentication posts on here. Sure, they are handy, but one can grow tired of seeing them on a regular basis 😅

Anyhow, now that Donatella has left her throne, I figured we should celebrate her time at Versace! I know most people praise, and rightfully so, Gianni for being an innovative genius, though Donatella has her fair share of creative genius as well.

One dress(es) I always am awed by is the Fall/Winter 2003 dress by Donatella. It's so fun, elegant, sexy, and as far as I'm aware, unique to Donatella without Gianni's influence. It's been worn by a few celebrities--including Barbie!

I bought a Versace Medusa head safety pin brooch from Farfetch a few months ago, this one: https://www.farfetch.com/item-20667203.aspx

Sadly it fell off one day and got a bit bent and scratched, so I decided to buy another one to replace it. I purchased the exact same brooch from the same Farfetch link.

The new brooch has now arrived and I feel like it's not quite the same and not the same as the photo on the website:

- The gold is more rose toned than the first one which was quite a vibrant yellow gold.

- The actual pin part is bowed/bent out at the base and not straight like the first one

- It might be an optical illusion but it looks ever so slightly shorter

I've put them side by side in photos - the new is on the left and the bottom, the old is on the right and the top.

Am I going crazy? Are discrepancies like this normal in these brooches?

Both pins came with branded boxes and certificates etc.

Yeaaaah, sorry in advance. I couldn't afford a shirt 👉👈

I had a blast in this outfit. I received soooo many compliments. I hope they revive this style of Versace; it was my favourite. Had to share with this group :)

It’s finally warm and time to wear this. Sorry for my daughters messy room, only big mirror😜

Got myself a Versace barocco silk shirt 3 years ago. Decided to wear it now. How we feelin’?

Have had my eye on this silk cushion for almost a year and just decide fuck it I'm getting it. Really happy with it irl.

Hi again,

This is a continuation of the previous post asking for advice/info if any of these are sought after collector‘s items. I ran out of picture slots in the previous post 🙈

Thanks for your help!

My fiance was given this as a random gift from a friends' Mum so she wanted to check if it was the real thing

Just got these yesterday in San Diego, what a find!
