H&M (Hennes&Mauritz) the affordable designer retail chain department store has got together with Versace to create basically a cheaper line for more sales. And I’m not mad. The recession is real and even producers of the highest high end luxury items feel it. Donatella Versace certainly isn’t doing us a favor.
The Versace H&M line with be for sale November 2011 and January 2012 for spring. A Women’s and men’s selection will be available, but that’s not why I care. I doubt any of these clothes besides a vintage Notorious B.I.G. button up can fit me. There will also be a Versace Home Collection available. This is what I want to see. The gaudy pillow cases, bed sets, linens, towels & hopefully tableware.
The Versace Home Collection is Luxe. I am positive the H&M home collection will be not as bold & royal family-ish as the original collection by Versace, but hope its a tiny bit inspired from it. I’m just not in the right frame of mind or pocket to pay $300 per dinner plate or $277 for a pillow. Maybe that means I don’t need Versace. Maybe it means I was smart enough to buy in a recession.
Here are some items from the original Versace Home Collection not H&M.
Designer clothes are nice. Designer home is nicer.
