about me

This early 90s Gianni Versace Medusa bag is peak era Versace: bold hardware, sculptural lines, and unmistakable luxury. The solid brass Medusa plaque and matching Medusa rivets wrap the structured black leather body, paired with the signature Greek key chain strap seen throughout Gianni’s runway years. It is fully leather-lined with the correct period GIANNI VERSACE label and Riri zipper, a detail that confirms this as one of the brand’s elevated designs from the decade. Style it with a slinky slip dress for a true 90s supermodel vibe or contrast it with oversized tailoring for a modern edit.
