Alexander McQueen Bag Thread

[tiggernic]

I bought the black flapper bag recently but sent it back as it didn't look as good in real life as it did online ( Just purchased the 2 croc print Elvies though. The one in red and other in metallic. YUMMY!

Thank you, at least that's some comfort! Glad I didn't get it then.

The Elvies are worthy, I don't blame you! Post some pics when they arrive?

Edit: Did you say theoutnet have also got the matching wallets to the elvies? They look delish too!

I know, I couldn't resist! Dont' know about the matching wallets...will take a look. I the outnet. Do you know any other place that sells McQueen apart from matches and net a porter and of course the McQ shop itself??

Hmm, all I can think of right now are Selfridges, Harvey Nichols, Harrods, Browns and Liberty.

Ladies, what are your opinions on the 3D Knuckle Duster Clutch? Too much?

Definitely not too much, at all - I love it!

I think you can often get away with fairly complex embellishment on a small item, in a way you possibly can't, so easily, on a larger item and also, the basic shape of the clutch is simple, so it balances out.

Final message, promise!! Does anyone know how best to care/clean the Elvie patent bags? Also, there is a slight tear in the handle of one. Anyone know if this can be repaired? Many thanks

Where did you buy it?

If it was from an authorised store, I'd get back to them and ask about repairs.

Alternatively, you could contact AM themselves and ask.

If you haven't had it very long and it tore through normal use, you may be legally entitled to have it mended for free.

hi and thanks for your advice. I actually bought it 2nd hand . I think i will see if the McQ shop might be able to help. Alternatively I will see if there is a bag repairer in london.

 

[chloehandbags]

^ Yes, good idea.

If AM can't/won't do it, you may want to do a search on here.

There have been threads/posts about reliable London repairers.

No problem, BTW!

Hi ladies! I don't generally wear patterned bags because I wear quite busy clothing.... that said I think the tote could look good with a classic trench.

It's such a lovely print, what do you think?

^ Gorgeous!

Saw that on NAP a couple of hours ago and really liked it.

^ It's gorgeous isn't it? I think I'll have to see it IRL, to see how substantial the canvas is. Hopefully it's really thick and sturdy.

I'm so beyond excited just ordered my first skull clutch! can't wait to share pics!

 

[BellaShoes]

YAY!!!! Dezy, I am super excited for you too! It's truly gorgeous!!

Perhaps I will take the plunge next weekend...should I be anywhere near a McQueen boutique? :ninja:

Hello Ladies of McQueen!

I have gone back 12-15 pages hoping to find details or pics on what essentials you can hold with the various Skull clutches.. any photos, links or thread references would be fabulous, my eyes are going bonkers!

 

[carlinha]

hi bella!!! good to see you on here! excited that you may potentially be getting your first!

here are some pics i took a while ago with stuff inside...

i think both the skull clutch and knuckle duster fit about the same items, cuz the knuckle duster is longer but narrower, and the skull clutch is shorter but taller...

for me, i can fit my BB tour with it's case, lip gloss, lotion, cards + cash, canon powershot elph camera, and house keys...

HOWEVER, the only difference is that the regular skull clutch opens wider than the knuckle duster, and may be easier to get things in and out of... also, in the knuckle duster, my BB tour with case fits, but it is snug. here they are side by side, stretched out the max of how much they can open wide. hope this helps!
