Aespa's NingNing Stars in Versace's Unveiling of Their New Kleio Bag
Just in time for fall, this desirable line features soft, cushion-shaped styles.
Versace never runs out of creative genius, especially when it comes to designing the next coveted It-bag. The latest proof of this is the Kleio crossbody, a bag that evokes the plushness of a pillow, crafted from buttery soft nappa leather that promises to grow even more luxurious with time. With its cocooning, comforting shape and undeniable versatility, the Kleio is destined to be a staple in autumn wardrobes everywhere.
The name Kleio draws from Versace's longstanding inspiration in classical mythology, as Kleio is one of the nine muses—goddesses of literature, science, and the arts. Reflecting the essence of the Italian Maison, this bag is designed for the young, confident Versace woman, embodying an effortless luxury that mirrors the ultra-soft, malleable silhouette of the satchel.
As the newest member of the Medusa '95 family, known for the iconic gold-tone Medusa head gracing the front, the Kleio bag stands out through contrasting elements. A solid metal chain allows it to be worn both on the shoulder and as a crossbody, creating a bold juxtaposition with the bag’s interior, which is lined in tone-on-tone nappa leather for a harmonious and seamless design.
A Glamorous Muse
A perfect muse for this new creation is NingNing, a member of the K-pop sensation Aespa. As the face of the campaign, she brings the Kleio bag to life, showcasing its true spirit. A global ambassador for Versace, NingNing embodies effortless chic, perfectly aligning with the Kleio’s soft and supple shape, designed for easy, malleable styling. Photographer Mok Jung-wook captures NingNing in intimate portraits, where the bag is seen as an essential part of her look, energising the Fall/Winter 2024 collection she models with a cool, iconic presence.
Approved by It-Girls
Already embraced by the trendsetting elite, the Kleio bag has been seen in the hands of personalities with strong, individual styles, including the "Madonna of horror" Mia Goth, pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter, and the runway's rising star Loli Bahia. These early adopters are solidifying the Kleio’s status as the must-have accessory of the season.
