Gorgeous! Congrats. I really love it. You're right on target by saying it manages to be both "classic and punk" at the same time.
May I ask where you got it? Its not easy to find McQueen bags.
I so don't mind you asking! I got the bag from the McQueen boutique in Vegas--it's inside the Wynn.
In the event that anyone's interested, this is the "general" stock that I found during my hunt:
NM in Vegas carries it in a metallic black (very subtle "sheen") to the leather, a metallic gold and a sorta pewter metallic--these are all regular leather versions. Ask for Princess--she was very nice and helpful over the phone. NM apparently only ordered 10 of the patent red as a company and they're now "long gone."
Nordy's in San Diego (Fashion Valley store) has the bag in cream leather (beautiful), gold croc-embossed patent leather (very bling!), black patent leather (hot!), pewter metallic and a few other shades.
Nordy's at South Coast Plaza (Costa Mesa, CA) had one red patent left--it's the last one in the company. Ask for Susan or ShiShi (sp?)--they're both nice.
I don't know what else the McQueen boutique carried but I know that they had one red patent left. Chad was the SA that helped me and was very nice. I highly recommend them. The only McQueen boutiques in the US are in NY, Vegas and now Los Angeles, so you could save tax by going through the boutique--just no refunds, store credit only.
