Alexander McQueen Crystal Print Clutch | Bizarre And Beautiful Satin Print Clutch

Posted on: Apr 21

Alexander McQueen does it again! Does what? Well, he comes up with something new and innovative that doesn't look like anything else out there and totally makes it work.

The crystal print on this smooth satin twill clutch looks almost holographic and three dimensional. It's got a space age, futuristic appeal that is also polished enough to pull off with a sophisticated evening ensemble, although I might stay away from print dresses, since the pattern on this clutch is so eye-catching.

The rest of the bag is pared down in comparison to the print, which better shows off its ingenuity. Except for the clasp, that is, which is huge and silver, and looks as though it is growing naturally out of the crystals printed on the clutch.

At 9" x 5" x 2", this bag is about mid-sized for the clutch category. It's definitely big enough for evening essentials, but might not make the crossover to day. That makes it somewhat less versatile than I like a bag to be, but since it is so reasonably priced, I will accept it. At $540, you would be hard pressed to find another bag in this price range by a designer of McQueen's caliber.
