At Versace’s spring-summer 2026 runway presentation by Dario Vitale, one bag swiftly commanded attention. The new Pivot is an ingenious reworking of the classic, utilitarian bucket bag DNA. However, it filters the silhouette through a distinctly Milanese lens of opulence and modern engineering.
While rising as one of the Italian house’s emerging must-haves, the debut signals a new, inclusive chapter for Versace. Friends of the House Chun Xia and Li Landi champion it beyond the catwalk, reinforcing its self-expression narrative. Meanwhile, Alex Consani and Britt Lower have also been spotted with the bag.

At the core of the Pivot sits a reimagined Medusa. Rather than a simple logo refresh, the emblem nestles within a leather oval macaron. The detail draws inspiration from the doors of Via Gesù, 12, the original home of Versace and its atelier. Furthermore, the rounded silhouette balances supple curves with a structured base, while the convertible handle shifts seamlessly from shoulder to handheld.
In contrast to neon-soaked palettes of seasons past, Versace embraces earthy decadence this time. Monochrome leather arrives in hues of Olive, Mocha and Rich Rosewood. Additionally, suede iterations feature bi-colour combinations such as Tan with Absinthe.
In Singapore, the small retails at SGD4420 and the medium at SGD5940. Available at Marina Bay Sands, Paragon and online, the arrival of the Pivot marks a decisive new stride for Versace.
