Check out post #120 in this thread. It is the same bag in black. Notice how the center zipper pull is completely different.

Thanks for your help rbaby - I had a look at the picture and see what you mean....after some research and chatting more to the seller Ive found apparantly there was a version prior to this that had my zipper pull (gothic), as this was so popular they released the medusa zipper version.

This thread shows a bag with my zipper pull:

Fall Sale at eLuxury

just found this thread I know 0 about Versace bags but I know a lot about the homewear so if anyone wants that authenticating feel free to PM me I'm bad at forgetting to come back to threads

Lovely! This must be from a few years back, but I still like that it is hobo style.

Hi

Unfortunately this is all the pics I could get. Please base your opionion off the attached pics.
I am leaning toward this bag as more of a fake. I have never seen any others, if you have seen the real version or any of the knock off's, please post the links so I can analize the pics.
The listing says:
Beautiful Versace Handbag

Slightly used, but in great condition. Received many compliments on this bag! Beautiful silver/black diagonal stripe design.

I am 80% sure this is a fake, but I may be wrong. No signature lining. These are the only pics I have, pls base your opionion off of them.

Hi, Please authenticate this Versace bag. It is from the 1980's. It has the vintage sewn square tag. Thank you!

^^I hope you did not buy this! It is a very bad fake. The Medusa icon is very wrong. If you go to the Versace website you can see what it is suppossed to look like, and then it will be very obvious this is a terrible fake.

Please help me authenticate this. I got this as a gift… is it real?
Thanks!

[rbaby]

No, I'm sorry, it isn't. There are a couple of tells, like the Greco pattern is off and the face of the Medusa icon is too round. HTH!

[lilhenna]

Is this authentic? Thanks!!

Thanks! I will get rid of it then… meaning it's going to a nice new home called trash.
