Nero, do you have the Samurai Clutch? If so, take pics! :D I'm really not too fond of it, but I absolutely LOOOOVE the Samurai Print Canvas Tote!!! I think I may just need to see the Clutch IRL, maybe?

Just watched an excellent documentary charting all of Lee's achievements right through from Central St Martins to his underworld collection. Such, such talent.

The documentary should be available to view "as soon as possible after broadcast."

Hi all, I have a question to any of you who owns/owned a metallic leather McQueen bag. I just bought the small Faithful satchel in dark silver metallic, and I am not sure whether I should spray it with water repellant or just leave it as is, because it is actually suede that has been treated with metallic finish. Any chance either of you has the same bag/finish? Could you give me some tips for caring it? Here's some pictures of the leather for reference.
Thanks in advance...=)

Hi, I am not an expert, and not sure about your (gorgeous, btw) McQueen bag, but a tPF member named Stormy Heart gives very helpful advice about leather care for Linea Pelle bags.

In this post: http://forum.purseblog.com/linea-pelle/care-and-feeding-of-linea-pelle-329659-17.html#post15925131, she says that the metallic finish itself is protective, and that protective sprays may dull the metallic finish. HTH

Thank you for sharing your shopping experience. It was like I was there too. I know, tough choices to make but you did well. I think this virtual shopping experience will hold me over until I can actually purchase one. Thank you again

^Absolutely not!!:shocked: I have a metallic pewter Minkoff, leave it be.. it will naturally rub off here and there but unfortunately the nature of the metallic won't allow a stain repellent.
