I’ve got so much love for this hard case bag with a cool metal cage wrapped around it. Badass, bondage-inspired, and even a little ladylike, Alexander McQueen delivers all the classic elements of a show bag, though here’s the clincher: you can actually use it!
You get the fun novelty look of one of those trunk-inspired boxes (this one is very reminiscent of the famed Louis Vuitton Petit Malle), but this isn’t something you can only enjoy while it’s sitting pretty on a shelf. It pops open on top so it’s easy to access, and it’s wide enough to fit your necessities. With both shoulder-strap and clutch options, there is plenty of opportunity for use. And even if you don’t have the “right” occasion coming up, this is cool enough to motivate you to make one. Alexander McQueen bag available for pre-order at Saks Fifth Avenue for $2,095 (expect shipping by October 31st).
Wear with: A relaxed belt, like Saint Laurent’s Western-style staple, will tone down the bag for off-duty adventures. On NET-A-PORTER for $445.
