hi,

Thanks for all your compliments ... the clutch is really a work of art.

I am still investigating on the plastic 'bone' thingy found inside the hollow of handle. My local retailer is checking with HQ. If it is really intentional, Sarah Burton is living up the late Alexander McQueen's beautiful yet disturbing sense of genius.

It's certainly a very interesting touch! :D

Would it be possible for you to a take a pic of the bone thingy? Maybe I'm not looking in the right spot for it in my clutch.

I can see both Dezy's photos and this seller's photos and they're not the same --- at least not the ones that are on Dezy's auction at the present time. I'm not advocating that anyone buy from them and I'm not affiliated with them in any way - just saying. Also, sometimes there really are great deals on things...

^No worries on my end... the seller has two current season bags, 23 feedback, a link to their personal email and $800 OBO for a $1400 bag?

To each their own... I just suggest buying with caution

Sorry, have been so busy at work.

This is a close-up of the white plastic thingy that is inside the hollow of the handle.

I've tilted the bag such that the plastic thingy is close to the groove yet it's a tad big to fall out. It's shaped with a slight curve - hence, I thought it looks like a bone. It make a slight clingy sound against the metal as I move the bag.

I did some searching but don't see any posts about the Wicca bag. I bought one--looked like exactly what I wanted: smallish, structured and very convertible. Now that I have it I am having second thoughts.

(I hope the link works, haven't tried this before!)

The leather and finishing are not what I expect from Alexander McQueen or from a $1300 handbag. There may be some sticker shock here. I have only one other bag in this price range and that is a Nancy Gonzalez croc one.

Has anyone else seen this bag and do you all have any thoughts? I can help feeling a little be like it is the result of a licensing agreement and not really from the house.

I love Alexander McQueen's work and am loving what Sara is doing with the line so I want to wear this with pride!

thanks much in advance!
