Could these be a new line of Heroine? The handles and overall silhouette reminds me so. Overall I really enjoyed that AW19/20 show.
The exact bag you are looking at is a seasonal model. I tried on the classic model at my local boutique a couple of years back. The quality is superb, but I hate how they design the closure of the flap.
This is a double handle bag with a flap closure. To close the bag entirely, there’s a hole on the flap where the front handle goes though, and there’s no exterior pocket.
Can you image how much you will fumble when your phone is ringing inside the bag while you are in a hurry and you only have one free hand? That will be kind of a nightmare to open the bag to get your phone.
You can always have the bag ‘open’ but it looks kind of ugly in that way.
just happened upon this one on Anns Fabulous Finda...I like it
Do not buy the Alexander McQueen mini padlock. My purse dropped to the ground while I was wearing it. The crossbody straps are held on by glue and the company is unresponsive to my inquiries over the past three months - and I bought this new at an Alexander McQueen boutique.just happened upon this one on Anns Fabulous Finda...I like it

wow
that doesn't seem right for an expensive bag
can you try to return it where you purchased?
I would have brought it back to the original boutique if I could. Unfortunately I moved since I purchased the bag and no longer live near a boutique. I have tried to reach out via their website but every time I do they send me a generic email asking for more information as if I never messaged them before. It’s very frustrating. I am thinking of making a stop at an Alexander McQueen boutique next time I’m in a city that has one. There really aren’t too many of them though and I’m usually traveling with a toddler in tow so it would not be convenient.

Not surprised glue didn't hold up
If I were you I'd get my money back or another style (assuming you get to a boutique and they're willing to help you
Does anyone have a pinter bag? I realise it's not very much talked about anywhere on the internet and would welcome opinions. I saw a couple on sale (not the North South version though that's the one I really hope to get) and thought of getting one, but I have never bought a mcqueen bag so I'm not sure if it will hold up to daily use.
It is apparently made of smooth leather and I suspect the rounded edges will get bumped around a lot with use. So far I haven't seen in-depth reviews of Mcqueen's leather quality.

I don’t know about this particular purse but see my photos above. The purse was used occasionally on weekends and did not hold up for a full two years. It was purchased directly from a mcqueen boutique and when I complained about it to a sales rep, she recommended a leather repair shop I could go to on my own dime. They wouldn’t stand behind the poor construction of the handles using glue and a single stitch.

That is awful. I saw the photos you posted. I guess I won't be getting another of their bags until their quality improves. It's a shame as their designs are unique.
So happy with my Christmas present-
Alexander McQueen skull crocodile silver leather mini bag! Love the “space goth” crossbody style and how the skeleton’s crystal eyes sparkle. Does anyone else have one of these McQueen purses?
