Alexander McQueen Leather Woven Wishbone Shopper
Apr 2, 2009 / Posted in Alexander McQueen Handbags, Hobos by Amanda Mull.I’ll admit it, someone got me on April Fool’s Day. It was my good friend since preschool, Dania. She posted a facebook status saying that she was engaged, and since she moved away last year I knew she had started dating someone seriously, so I totally bought it. It’s hard to get me, and she totally had me fooled – I even sent my mom a text message to let her know, since I’ve known this girl since I could barely go to the bathroom on my own.
And I thought someone else had gotten me too – more specifically, I was sure that the price tag of the Alexander McQueen Leather Woven Wishbone Shopper had to be some sort of ridiculous joke. Because it’s a pretty cool-looking bag, and I had initially wanted to write that I liked the hardware and the woven-ness mixed with the non-woven-ness, and that I wasn’t sure about the fringe, but I was willing to give it a shot since it all looked sort of edgy and cool mixed together. That’s what I was GOING to write. Before I saw the price. Because for the $6,380 that McQueen wants for this bag, I could buy 4 or 5 other really cool bags, so nevermind. For that, I can basically buy a Birkin. At least a basic one. This bag may be cool, but it’s not six-and-a-half-grand cool. Buy through Net-a-Porter for $6380.
AHHHHH – it looks like it should be in a wild west brothel show. And to ask $6,380 for THAT is just a crime of fashion.
This is something I wish I could unsee.
Buy that Birkin instead Amanda.
Yep, buy a Birkin. This McQueen bag is so far removed from an everyday bag, and I know it’s technically a shopper, but I can get a cloth woven shopping bag at my local grocery for $1.00.
$6,380 for a shopping bag??? I don’t think so…….
you’re gonna have to do better than that McQueen.
Its nice but not exquisite !
Too much going on in one bag: woven – not woven – and surrounded by fringes – as if the designer was unable to determine which way to go ….
Certainly…it’s NOT worth the price but it is CLASSIC McQueen…out of this world & he wants you to pay BIG TIME for it!!!
Oh, I’m so sorry, but that bag looks like a MESS! Too much going on. Like a leather muppet on a tapestry couch.
Ah nooo, way too cowboyish for my personal taste.
I’m just not a fan of tassels of that magnitude!
i love this bag but never ever would think of buying that over 2 chanels, noooooooooo wayyyyyyyy
Blehhhh too much fringe for me, and damn that is a high price, what is it $50 per fringe?
This bag will be out of season before the year is over. I’d opt for the Birkin.
What? That should be a prank. And I don’t like the fringe. It just needs to go away.
What a funny april fool’s day story. I like the handles but that’s just too much for this bag. The price is always the ending factor! Booooo!
Blah, I don’t like it. It’s yucky. And the price could get me a whole bucketload of much better, more suitable and versatile bags, I agree. I’ll totally pass on it.
Sorry, this thing is ugly!!!!! Just way too much going on!
This bag looks like road kill…just awful!!!!
Reminds me of cousin “It” on the old Addams Family TV show.
Alexander McQueen is the designer of the moment but that price is ridiculous. The fringe is too much
Have you guys seen this thing in real life? Because that sort of makes it understandable why it is so dearly priced.
The thing is in fact INCREDI-GIGA-NORMOUS. Probably uses 3 times more leather than a birkin ever would. DIdn’t really try it anyhow, my guess is that this beast is heeeaavy. Though I find it completely repulsing in any case. blah.
