She's here!!!! The small Padlock! [emoji7]. I had the old version that I sold to finance another bag about a year ago. But when they started with the new handles I just had to have it again, but if course I was distracted by other bags. Now I found this gem in Ebay for half of the new price. It was listed as 'used' but it looks and feels new. The leather feels stiffer than the old version but I like it that way. At least it won't make the 'frames' wonky like most of the old versions. The color is darker than in the picture. It's true green and it stays the same in every lights. I think the color is versatile, dark enough in winter but would look pretty in summer. I loooove this bag!!!

Beautiful! I was eyeing this bag and the medium black one on mcqueen official website. Question: how does the Padlock hardware look to you? Is it shiny metal or a little rusty?

Reason I asked: Just finally received the black medium padlock yesterday.
The bag is perfect quality EXCEPT for the skull padlock... for some reason it looks rusty all around and somewhat beaten up, not very polished.

I have another medium padlock in different color and silver hardware (purchased from farfetch) but the hardware quality is much better. ... not sure if the gold one comes more 'rustic' than the silver one.
I'm planning to email Mcqueen customer service about this and see from there. .

This is my favourite of all the padlocks. Really really want one but can't find it in Europe :/

She's gorgeous!! I've never really been a green person but I love this color. Truly stunning, congrats dangerouscurves!!!

Also - I love the fact that the leather is stiffer than it used to be and I'm glad I didn't get one right when they joined the line, I don't like it when a bag gets slouchy when they look like they should be more structured.

Thank you!!! I love all colors on handbag except yellow. Lol! I have to say green is a difficult color to combine with but thankfully I wear lots of green and yellow and blue as well.

Here are some pictures of my old small Padlock. Notice how floppy the bag was [emoji4].

Still nice but way too slouchy. Also, the hinged handles are nicer, it creates a nicer silhouette when you use the strap. I wear a lot of black, white, grey so I'm a neutral girl, colourful handbags are good for me because they offer that pop of color. But I agree, I don't like yellow [emoji39]

There is a cloud blue padlock in small and mini for SS16 and I want the mini so bad. So bad.

Maybe I will need to keep my eye out for a pre loved in the same color as yours, the more I see it... The more I get jealous you have it LOL.

I suggest you to turn the notification for 'Alexander McQueen Bag' search on your EBay app. I do that and I check it everyday. That's how I got it. Not sure where you are but I've seen a lot of McQueen mini Padlock bags on EBay UK, brand new with tags, for half of the store price [emoji4]. Good luck and I hope you'll get one soon.

I'm in Canada so I'm actually considering a full bag ban right now unless it's a HG bag because the loonie is so bad... so so bad. We'll see how long that lasts though lol.

Good tip! Thanks!

Stunning color! I'm a big fan of green but never have a green bag in my collection, so this is a great inspiration :) enjoy your new purchase!
Thanks for posting the pics of the older version of Padlock. Never knew about the difference in the styles then, but I have to agree I like the newer style better.

Thank you!!! This green color is very saturated :-) . If you have planned to get a small Padlock, you should get it. The bag is just so easy to carry and very light for the size.
