Hi everyone! Could I get some honest opinions on this bag I just received please? It's the new studded padlock shopper tote, and it really is gorgeous in person. I was surprised at how smooth and silky the leather, I guess I thought it would be stiff like some of the other McQueen totes I've seen IRL. My only issue is...does it seem too "inspired by"? (Like by the Valentino Rockstud, etc...) Any thoughts/opinions are greatly appreciated! (I'm trying to decide if I should keep it or maybe buy a black Nightingale instead...)

I love this bag, I wouldn't say it's inspired by Valentino, last season many designers introduced studded versions of their classic bags (like Chloe Paraty). I was not a big fan of simple version of this McQueen bag (too plain for me, I love folk whipstiched totes), but with studs it has what's been missing. Looks edgy and not too busy like some Valentino bags.
Thank you!! I love studs on bags so I always feel like I should like the rockstud bags, but then every time I try one on they don't feel edgy to me...I think this bag definitely has more of the look I'm after...
Hi. I just bought the red card holder from the LA melrose location. I currently hold my ID, credit card and debit card in it. I don't want to put much more because the leather is so soft and I don't want to cause any outlines of my cards to be imprinted into the leather.. If that makes sense..I've attached some photos to show you what it looks like. The top view of the card holder, I've put in 6 cards total and I would say they fit comfortably..
Thank you for the pics. Great find. I never thought of buying it but now I know it's going to be on my list!

You're welcome. I love it. The one thing my SA told me though, is that some men use it in their back pocket and when they sit down the skull eventually pops off.
The one that got away was a plaid Novak with Celtic designs tooled into the leather from the Widows of Culloden collection. Out of every bag I've sold...I regret this one 
Hi, yes, they do make a satchel! Here it is:

Sad story about my shopper tote...I sent it back b/c it just didn't sit right when I put it on my shoulder (the wide bottom of the bag hit at an awkward spot under my arm) and was going to order the same studded bag but in another style Neimans had that was a flatter shaped tote...I stuck mine in the mail and then went to order the other one and it was all sold out!
And now I can't find it anywhere...boo.
It's TDF. I have seen it and I can attest to the rich color and beautiful softness of the silk. It's gorgeous. I liked the entire GLORY collection.
