Hobo bags were all the rage in the early 2000s. Now, the Y2K silhouette is officially making a comeback for the Italian fashion house. Reviving an archival style from the brand, it is reintroduced as the Repeat bag for the season.
Set to take the crown as Versace’s it-bag of the year, the half-moon hobo bag is amped up with sensual diagonal zips and Medusa zipper hardware. But why limit it to just one when the Repeat comes in 3 different sizes.

The collection opens with the smallest of the lot, the Repeat Mini Hobo Bag (SGD2320) in smooth Italian leather. Measuring 20 cm wide and 13 cm high, it comes with a detachable and adjustable shoulder strap. You can either wear this versatile number over the shoulder like a miniature hobo, or sling it across the body casually.
The next size up will be the Repeat Small Hobo Bag (SGD2680). Essentially, you can think of it as the perfect day-to-night accessory, thanks to this in-between size. Measuring 29 cm by 18 cm, it comes in black, orange and violet with silver-tone hardware.
The largest of them all, at 40 cm wide and 28 cm high, is the Repeat Hobo Bag (SGD3240). It boasts that cool oversized appeal that men will appreciate as well, blurring the lines between his and hers.
