At first, the clever use of fringe on this Alexander McQueen hobo bag catches the eye. But as you keep looking, the hits just keep on coming. There is a lot going on with this bag so let’s break it down.
Fringe can be hard to do stylishly, but McQueen goes big and uses it to create a silhouette rather than as an accent which seems to pay off.
The next thing you notice are the studs, which continue the slip down the perilous slope to country and western wear. Studs are a big trend right now and have been for years, but in combination with the fringe this is starting to look like a saddle bag. This effect is only exacerbated by the braided trim.
The metallic and leather top handle is a bit distracting in shape and style. It seems odd to add yet another unneeded element to this purse. I also question the practicality of this handle as the metal would surely be uncomfortable to grip and the leather segment is so small.
All in all this seems to be a bag for a very specific customer with a very specific look in mind. For that customer, you can’t go wrong with the quality of Alexander McQueen.
