Hello. Am new here but lurk on other of sub forums. I'm a massive Lover of McQueen and am trying to find out if the large skull tote came with silver hardware... Anyone know by chance? I think I'm a bit late on this bag but I saw someone carrying it recently in the tube and loved it completely save for the gold hardware :(

Loving the legend btw and seeing all these bags..:smile1:


It comes in both in silver and gold color. If you can't find it at their website, try Farfetch.com.

Are far fetched any good? I've no experience of them. Am still lusting for a McQueen bag. And a scarf. Eek. Must be good but the skull totes are just gorgeous. I travelled next to a lady with one on the tube not so long ago and fell in love with her black and silver large tote. :smile1:

Yes. farfetch.com is good. Sometimes they sell Alexander McQueen bags with versions that are not available on McQueen's website.
 
I found this bag on poshmark and immediately wondered why this person was selling it as a mcqueen when (it seems to me) it's obviously not..looks to me like an 80s designer.. does anyone here know when McQueen first started making handbags?
This bag just says 'Alexander' and 'made in italy' on the zipper pull. Really doubtful.

2000 is the absolute earliest I can think of, based on his biography. And I'm no expert, by any means. :/

Thank you for posting Missmoimoi. I want this bag in small. How does it look IRL? usually embossing makes bags look too loud and cheapens the look, but it's a rare occasion when I like it (in this color), at the pictures at least. What do you think, it is still on a neutral and classy side or it's more like mass market cheapy bags?

I know what you mean. No, the embossed leather does not look cheap. It's very well done and more like lizard come to think of it. Leather is thick yet supple... Details are high quality and refined - not cheap. The blue is a neutral shade I think - quite wearable.

Hope you find this in small. This one is mini but damn, quite pricey!
