So happy with my first McQueen! Finally I can post here! I love the look and wanted the knuckleduster clutches but I think this one is better for the older me

My alexander mcqueen clutch got taken from me in paris airport :( they said it was a weapon! The top skull was considered lethal, :( I am still trying to find out how to get it back - this is the reason I am sad as I see all the lovely bags on the forum

I'm so sorry this happened to you. I buy a lot of Alexander McQueen jewelry and own a knuckleduster ring. They stopped making them because they're considered weapons. I was told that by a woman working at one of their boutiques. I adore those clutches too. Best of luck...

That's terrible!:tdown::nogood:

Are you having any luck getting it back...

I'd try contacting the consulate if you haven't already...

Oh my gosh I am so sorry! It's getting really ridiculous when they consider your clutch a weapon! Were you traveling in the US or internationally? I hope you can get it back.

This is terrible but very common - unfortunately you will never get through security with a knuckleduster, and even in your luggage it can be considered a weapon. With the skull clutches it is a calculated risk, too. Same with Hermès CDCs - I take mine off before security and put it away in my bag, and even so have been asked about it.

So sorry this happened to you!

I just bought my first Alexander McQueen knuckle clutch at the Saks sale @55% off plus 10% in store. So excited about it till I read this! Omg! Have you gotten it back yet? I hope you are reunited with your clutch!
