Argghh! I couldn't do it. I can't sell it. I love it too much. I don't know when I'll ever own another McQueen. Ridiculous, I know, but I have had seller's remorse before...and it's a terrible feeling. I need to give it more thought before I do something I'll regret. Thank you again for your help.

I am so excited and happy to join this club....is this where the cool girls hang out?

Hubby let me go wild in Neiman Marcus while he strolled around the mall and I put those lovely, patient SAs to work...let's just say that poor girl earned her commission. I must have tried on every bag in that entire department -- but I love all kinds of bags! Balenciaga, Alexander Wang, Valentino, Prada, Gucci - oh my!

I didn't find anything that I was truly happy with until I remembered: McQUEEN. OF COURSE. McQueen. How could I have been so stupid? How could I have forgotten this designer? I loved his skull clutches! I would never be able to afford a skull clutch! McQueen has a gorgeous line of new bags! I loved everything about this company! I still mourned his death, for crying out loud. I drooled over creative director Sarah Burton's design for Kate Middleton's wedding dress. McQueen!!!

So I zipped over, found this bag, fell in love. Was actually debating between this and a lovely Gucci SoHo bag (which, despite what the SAs and my husband said, I do NOT think was an "old lady" bag. It was beautiful. BUT I did have major second thoughts when the SA said to me, "That Gucci bag will NOT look like that when it's not stuffed with tissue paper." I took out the stuffing. She was right. It was saggy. It was droopy. It was...matronly. Ugh. How could this happen?! I loved the SoHo line. This was my chance, right? But no way...not when the SA hilariously and bluntly commented that "that bag reminds me of this big boho bag my mom used to carry around that eventually really lost its shape and draped around her like a net." End of story. Gucci: game OVER.)

I bought the McQueen. And thank God I did. Because I'm obsessed. And there is no Gucci, no going back, no way. I might not have a skull clutch in my future, but I have this bag, and I can use it every damn day.

Um...what's the name of it? :giggles:

Thank you for letting me share!!! :cloud9::woot::heart::hbeat:

OMG :yahoo: I'm glad that I found someone who bought this purse!
I have been eyeing on it, looking around on the internet but did find any helpful review about it.
How do you like your purse so far? Is it a mini or a medium? Is it heavy?

I have been looking for a purse that would be an iconic item on me. I love purses but never felt any of them suits every style that I dress. Especial I just feel sick seeing fake copies of louis vuitton and balenciaga purse around which makes me don't want to wear them anymore...

I'm leaning towards the black one with gold hardware;)

Hi! Thanks for your compliment! I was actually going to sell this bag because I could use the cash, but decided not to because I knew I'd miss it too much! It's very soft and lightweight...and so easy to get in and out of...I have the "small," which is much bigger than the "mini." The small is a perfect size! Holds all my daily stuff without a problem, and I have tons of room left over. I saw some McQueens in Saks yesterday; the black is gorgeous. Very cool and very striking! I also saw the same style bag in a black velvet ivy pattern with a silver skull that I was just drooling over...gorgeous. Very happy I decided to keep this bag. I like the pebbly leather blue that I bought, but it also comes in a smoother leather that's just as gorgeous. Please do a reveal once you get yours!! :)

This bag is STUNNING! I just happened upon this style in. Zappos search and am completely blown away...how are you liking it? You chose an amazing color. Congrats!!

Here are some pictures of my small Padlock satchel. The color is actually muted, medium blue. Not bright but very saturated. I love how soft and chewy the leather is. The hardware is silver.

Love the HW!
Do you happen to know the color name? Just blue?

Hi! Thank you. Sorry I can't help with the color name. I bought it from yoox.com and it didn't come with any card, just a dust bag, so no info there. I think this color is the same as the one on alexandermcqueen.com. On the German version of the website it just says blue. The hardware is the color of silver and not the color of stainless steel, if you know what I mean :-)
