Alexander McQueen Bag Thread

[patsku]

I now have the bag and I am so happy with it! It is beautifully made and surprisingly light. Fits just enough, it fits my small wallet, my keys, a lipstick, iPhone and a powder. If I take only my cards and no wallet, I can squeeze in my sun glasses, too. Perfect!
It is a really bright red that makes my outfits pop. I wear so much McQueen and similarly styled things that I know I will get a ton of wear out of this bag. It is classic but with a twist. I don't think I will carry it as a clutch though but I will see.

To the cons now. The magnet is very tight and sometimes it is a bit tough to get it to attach. And also I worry a bit whether the strap will rub against to flap from the inside. This has happened in some of my bags that are built in the same way.

Here a couple of shots.

Congratulations. It is very beautiful!

Anyone has The Story bag in ivory maybe?

I’ve been eyeing this bag for a year now, but reading last couple of pages I am concerned about the quality...any happy owners here to share their thoughts

This is the bag I was looking forward to purchase, but now having double thoughts - https://www.alexandermcqueen.com/en-ie/the-story/the-story-610021D780T9006.html

I also bought a red Alexander Mac Queen bag from Yoox a few years ago.

Tnx for a reply how are you satisfied with the quality of the bag? I have noticed that AMQ bags are not so popular amongst the bag lovers here and I am curious why...and it was even difficult to find this topic, as only few people are posting their experience...

I didn’t have any problems with my bag, Allexis.
No problems with Yoox either.
I don’t know why AMQ is not so popular here.
Maybe the prices... compared to other contemporary designers.

Yoox is my favourite website, along with The Outnet....I can always find good deals there

I can see your bag looks like new even after a couple of years...I do hope mine will be the same quality...

I have ordered it from My Theresa, came in a day, but I was not happy with the condition - it was displayed on the floor and had some scratches and dents so I requested an exchange....they immediately reserved the last one for me and it should come next week I hope....excellent customer service

In the meantime, Net-a-porter sent me sale alert for the same bag, so I have ordered from them too and I’ll keep the one that will be in the perfect condition...

I must admit that I have not even seen AMQ bags on the streets in my city...I also have a beautiful Burberry bag, but it is not popular amongst the bag lovers, too....on the other hand, I see B clothes on the streets really often....maybe just UK designers are not so popular when it comes to bags - except Mulberry - and most people would rather spend that amount on french designers like Celine, Givenchy, Chloe, YSL ....the same price range, but more prestigious in the bag world...just my thoughts

I totally agree, Allexis.
Where I live I see very few people wear premier or contemporary bag brands.
TPF is a microcosm.
Most women around the world have never heard of Chloé, Burberry or Hermès, let alone Alexander Mc Queen...

Sometimes I forget that and get surprised when I encounter on someone who is completely outside of a fashion world
