Alexander McQueen’s edgy skull accented, Union Jack emblazoned bags tend to grab all the headlines. But the late, great British designer also produced some of the most elegant handbags you’ll ever meet. This chic Flapper bag is a great example of this creative genius’ more conservative side.
The Flapper is sophisticated without being staid. It’s crafted from high quality patent leather, which is embossed with crocodile scales in places for extra style. I love the combination of the smooth, glossy skin and the more exotic scaled body. It’s not the most convincing crocodile mimic, but this embossing still looks elegant and classy.
This is the kind of handbag that could suit any occasion, and Alexander McQueen equipped it accordingly. The striking golden turnlock clasp isn’t just for show; it unlocks a generous front pocket. There are more pockets inside of the zip and slip variety, just what we need to keep this roomy purse clutter free.
At $2230 the Alexander McQueen Flapper bag is no impulse buy, but its timeless style will serve those who can afford it well for many seasons to come.
