I'm very happy with my small Faithful cross body bag!! It's cute and light and easy to wear, but big enough to carry all the essentials.
I'll post some pics of my red one soon :smile1:
 
Hi,
I started a new thread with this topic, but will post here as well; I'm new to the forum and didn't see this thread, my apologies!

I was wondering if anyone owns one of these knuckle duster clutches? I just received mine, and I love it but when I put my fingers through the rings and squeeze my hand to hold the bag, it rattles a bit when I release. This is not an inexpensive item, and I don't think it should do this. It's just a slight noise but enough to bother me. When I mentioned it to one of the staff at the Mcqueen store in New York, his reply via email was a bit snippy, as if I were making the whole thing up. Any info or feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!
 
Has anyone had any luck tracking down the Satin Snake De Manta Clutch? It is the most gorgeous McQueen piece I have ever seen, and truly historical as it was the last collection Lee was working on. They are so hard to get, and the waiting lists are crazy for it!

I got an extra one and will post it on ebay soon. I got it for 1000 dollars so will just ask for the same :(
 
Coincidentally I started a new post yesterday about the same issue as philomena1... I guess I posted in the wrong place, so here's my question:

I ordered an Alexander McQueen Skull Box Clutch online and received it the other day. Here's the deal: I've never had the chance before to really 'inspect' one of these clutches up close and in person. In the clutch I received there's a little 'play' (for lack of a better description, like a slight 'rattle') between the two sides of the box when its closed and latched. Just a little, as if the hinge inside the skull latch is not quite tight enough to tightly close the two sides together. It's not a lot, just a teeny-tiny bit, but for the price of this clutch, I want to make sure this is a common occurrence and not a defect...

Any information would be much appreciated, thank you!
 
About the rattle in the box clutch, maybe it's a design flaw.. After thinking about it further, I don't think there's any way it wouldn't rattle unless there was a raised 'catch' on the opposite side from where the skull is for the closure to 'latch' onto... if my description makes any sense.
 
OK, I feel dumb. I just showed the bag to my SO and I just realized there IS a NOTCH for the skull to 'latch onto. Duh. Sorry about that, you guys must've thought I was high!!!

It still rattles though.

I wonder if the BV Knot Box Clutch rattles in the same way?
 
I have a little black patent skull leather clutch that I love but never get to wear! I'm hoping for a dressing table in my next house so I can sit it somewhere to admire. Not sure about the rattling, but it isn't an easy bag to carry.
 
Hi LeeMiller-- I'm curious... you mentioned your box clutch is not an easy bag to carry. Is that because of its skull theme or something about its physical construction (aside from the rattling)?
