Design Notes (Year-Specific):

Late 2000s Versace leaned into bold, hardware-heavy luxury Medusa plate bags were a step before the later Palazzo/Medusa head revival in the 2010s Mix of rock-glam (studs) + classic Versace iconography Not as collectible as modern Medusa lines but still very recognizable Versace DNA
