Alexander McQueen is known for his punky, hard-edged irreverence. He’s one of those designers that most people either love love love or hate hate hate, but he’s so extreme that he garners very little in the way of wishy-washy.
I, for one, adore McQueen, and if I could walk around head-to-toe in his crazy clothes, that would be ideal. But I would settle for this clutch, because it’s bananas! It’s jewelry, it’s a purse, it’s sleek, it’s rock-n-roll, it’s freaking perfect!
I always love the smoothness of a patent hard cased clutch, but even more so when it’s topped off with a knuckle ring handle. Each of the four rings is different: one is a giant crystal, one is a tiny skull looking sideways, one is a giant skull with crystal details, and one is a complexly engraved ring with a flower and skull motif. Of course, all these skulls are bound to chase away the faint of heart, but this bag isn’t for them, anyway.
The 7″ x 4.5″ x 2″ size is great for cramming with only the night’s necessities: keys, compact, and some bright red gloss. Of course, it isn’t exactly practical, due to it’s extreme edginess and small size, but, eh, who cares? The only thing that I don’t like about this clutch is the fact that I can’t afford it. At $1,595 in patent, it’s too rich for my blood, but I would be willing to draw blood to own it.
