Minimalist but not without flash, this Versace Leather Bucket Bag is an ideal winter white bag. The topstitching detail commands attention, elusively but effectively. The door knocker-like signature medallion gracing the front might be deemed a little over-the-top by some, but on the rich white leather, it complements instead of competes. It’s a fine balance between elegant and urbane, combining the best of two worlds and resulting in the ideal accessory for the uber-sophisticate. Available for $3127 at saks.com.
