Versace Luggage & Briefcases

Versace is known for designing clothing and accessories with hard-edged glamour and decadent flamboyance. But most of the brand's travel bags and business cases defy brand stereotypes. Instead of attention-grabbing standouts, many tend toward understatement and classic styling.

Although some Versace luggage and briefcases are produced in powerful shades of color and the house's pristine white, the lion's share is more subdued, with standard hues like black, brown, tan, or burgundy. And styling follows suit, striking a more conservative tone that one has come to expect from the Italian designer.

The auction block sees a parade of Versace bags ranging from its iconic baroque-print leather suitcases to the elegant leather Sac Vitello Trapuntato Duffle Bag, and even the occasional Gianni Versace embroidered leather mini trunk. Whether seeking a Versace briefcase to carry on your daily commute or Versace luggage to carry around the world, interesting and timeless pieces are available at auction.
