I thought that maybe there should be a thread for members to discuss and post pics of their Alexander McQueen bags - whether they are a variation of the Novak, or other styles.

Also, we could discuss and post pics of AM bags we are thinking of getting/would like to get.

A few hours ago, I finally succumbed and bought the black fish scale Mini Novak with Dragon (or Wyrm) Clasp:

I hope I like it as much IRL as I do on-line!

That is one gorgeous bag

I'm sure you're gonna love it. I have the red Novak and it kind of surprised me how much it goes with. Now I'm lusting over the small olive one, it's funny, I was just looking at it at NAP 5 minutes ago.

chloehandbags · Oct 28th, 2006, 09:40 PM

^ Thank you!

I think I'm going to love it, too. I haven't bought a bag in a while, but I think this one's really special!

What a coincidence, BTW, do you think you'll get the olive?

Also, if you have any pics of your red Novak, it would be lovely to see them!

I just changed computers 2 weeks ago and I haven't figured out how to resize pics on this one yet

I've been a little hezitant about the color olive and that is the only thing that has stopped me from buying it. I just ordered an olive Laurin Merkin clutch to try out the color

and if I like it I'm going ahead and buying it. I really love the shape of the novak, it's both feminine and edgy at the same time.

chloehandbags · Oct 28th, 2006, 10:30 PM

I really like the Novak, too.

I didn't buy the original one, as I really prefer slouchy shoulderbags and clutches, on me. But I've always admired it on others.

I think olive's a nice colour and fairly neutral, really. You can wear it with most warmer colours and brown, black, or grey. It also looks really good against an olive complexion, or a tan.

Probably not so much on me, though, I'm quite fair.

No hurry about the pics, BTW!

icechick · Oct 28th, 2006, 10:50 PM

Well, you talked me into it, I just ordered it a minute ago

chloehandbags · Oct 28th, 2006, 10:54 PM

Oh dear, I've enabled again!

That's twice in one week!

I'm sorry!

I hope I'm right and you like the colour!

icechick · Oct 28th, 2006, 11:02 PM

Noooo I'm really happy about it so thank you and I'm sure I'll love it!!! Funny how things turn out sometimes, lol

chloehandbags · Oct 28th, 2006, 11:12 PM

^ Very true.

icechick · Nov 4th, 2006, 01:11 PM

seahorseinstripes · Nov 4th, 2006, 01:48 PM

OMG!!! that's sooo beautiful! i love the dragon clasp

chloehandbag, icechick, congrats to you two!
may i ask how much was it?

icechick · Nov 4th, 2006, 02:02 PM

All of them are from NAP, I don't remember the price of the dragonclasp but mine was around 500 pounds with shipping.

danae · Nov 4th, 2006, 02:13 PM

the red novak is my favourite of all time!!! drool!
My mom has the small one in beige, with the woven leather. It's lovely. The Novak is so elegant!

Nola · Nov 4th, 2006, 03:14 PM

Oh, she's lovely!

I think the olive's even nicer in your photo (greener and less yellow) and of course, the red's gorgeous, too.

They look great together!
