Perfect for cocktail hours, parties and after-dark occasions, this Versace Autumn 2012 clutch adds instant glamour. Black fabric with a bejewelled cross motif, silver-tone accents and chainmail detail gleam under evening lights, while the zip-top closure keeps essentials secure from dinner to the dance floor.
Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What typically fits inside this clutch? A: With approximate measurements of 30 × 19 × 10 cm, it comfortably holds a large smartphone, a slim wallet or cardholder, keys, and a few small essentials such as lipstick, compact, and tissues. For the longevity of the structure and embellishments, avoid overfilling and refer to the photos to gauge internal space.
Q: Does it come with a strap or chain? A: This model is designed to be carried by hand as a classic clutch. If a strap, wristlet, or additional parts are included, they will be listed in the product information and shown in the images.
Q: How should I care for the velvet/fabric and crystal embellishments? A: Keep the bag away from rain, oils, make‑up, and alcohol‑based products. Gently lift lint with a clean lint roller or soft clothes brush in the direction of the pile. For marks, lightly blot with a dry, soft cloth and seek a professional handbag specialist for deep cleaning. Do not use harsh cleaners, saturate with water, or apply heat/steam directly to the velvet or stones.
Q: Will the chainmail detail snag delicate clothing? A: Textured metal trims can catch on open weaves such as fine knitwear, lace, or chiffon. Take care when wearing with delicate fabrics and store the bag in its dust bag when not in use to avoid contact with garments.
Q: How should I store this clutch? A: Store in a breathable dust bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Lightly pad the interior with acid‑free tissue to help the bag keep its shape, and avoid stacking heavy items on top. Keep it away from humidity and coloured materials that may transfer dye.
Q: How do I clean the silver‑tone hardware? A: Wipe hardware gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth after use to remove fingerprints. Avoid abrasive cloths, polishes, or chemical cleaners, which can scratch plating or affect stones near the fittings.
Q: Is this bag from the Versace Autumn/Winter 2012 collection? A: Yes, this piece is from Versace’s Fall 2012 season, noted for bold crystal cross motifs. Runway usage can vary by sample; this listing refers to the retail version shown in our photos.
Q: How is authenticity verified and does it have a code? A: A Retro Tale authenticates every item through multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware and brand markings. Many Versace bags feature a Certilogo (CLG) code and, on more recent pieces, QR/NFC tags; presence can vary by season. If applicable, codes are checked during intake. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
Q: What is included with my purchase? A: Everything included is listed under the product information and shown in the images. For this item, the listing notes a dust bag and an authenticity card.
