It's terrible what happened to you! I hope they give you a prompt refund! Keep us posted. BTW, did you buy it online or in a physical store?
I purchased it online on vestiare collective. So far they have not responded to my emails. I think I will try to get my refund via paypal since they are unresponsive and have bad my money for too long now.
Good thing you used PayPal :okay:
This question is for owners of Alexander McQueen bags/clutches: How do they hold up over the years? Are they delicate or can they take a lot of wear and tear?
Also, do they have any flaws or issues that come up?
My de manta clutch seems very sturdy. The leather is thick and doesn't stain. I don't worry about it in the rain. I haven't used it much but I can see it lasting for years.
I have 6 McQueen bags, I used my Novak as a school bag to carry laptop, texboks and the stuff ( I do NOT wear backpacks. LOL), it held on very well, it's still there in my closet. Then three Folk bags that I purchased in last two years have very thick sturdy calf leather (they are a bit heavy). But the last two folk bags I had to return because leather and overall quality were not that great (looked and felt like fake but were totally authentic from Zappos).
I'd say overall quality is great but there are some exclusions.
I just got the Alexander McQueen Pad Lock Zip Around from Zappos Couture. I really didn't need to buy a new bag but Zappos was the only place that I could find the Padlock Zip Around in Black and Silver Hardware.
It's a little big for my taste, so I'm going to sleep on it because I'm debating about sending it back
. I'm leaning toward 75% keeping it, but the size is bothering me. The surprising thing is that it isn't that heavy even though it's in the large category.

Leather is gorgeous! have you tried it on when filled up? usually volume reduces (at least visually) when it's stuffed.
I'm sending it back, GemsBerry.
It was fabulous and I loved everything about it, but it was just too big to be practical for an everyday bag. The bag's bottom had a depth of 7" so it was wide at the base even if it wasn't filled up, although the mid-to-top part of it was able to keep a slim profile.
I see that a smaller version of this bag will be available in Jan '14 but the color scheme is black and gold, which I don't mind, but I prefer the black and silver toned hardware better. Hopefully AM will come out with one and I'll be a happy camper.

I understand, if fit is not right no point to keep it. I only saw smaller version with GH so far http://www.neimanmarcus.com/Alexand...%2Bncqueen&eItemId=prod162440191&cmCat=search
Hi folks! I've enjoyed this thread very much. I am hoping to get a satin (or silk?) demanta clutch in the near future and had a couple questions I was hoping you could answer: -quality? (someone kindly responded to this question about a leather demanta, but I'm curious about the silk/satin ones - does the silk catch easily? Is it thick satin? stain repellant? how does it hold up in light rain?)...also: How do you find the versatility of the clutch shape? is it easy to get in and out of? ....well, that's all I can think of for now. Thanks in advance for your help! Keep those lovely pics coming!

Hi, I have the bleeding stained demanta and I had similar concerns. When I called the SA at the melrose location in LA, I asked if the clutch will eventually stain or bubble like some sweaters do over time. She reassured me that the clutch would not bubble or snag and so far she has been correct. The SA mentioned that she has a bright pink demanta that she got lipstick on it and she took it to the dry cleaners and the stain came out. My demanta appears to be repellant so far of hand oil and sweat. I am very cautious with it though and I haven't taken it out in the rain.
