I’m loving this bag, both the color and the shape! I swear it’s smiling at me… If I could afford a bag like this when I was in school I’d totally use it, hahaha

This bag is cute! I’ve seen this style everywhere. Especially with the Lucky Brand bags for the cheaper price. I think everyone who owns one would have to carefully choose their outfit or it wouldn’t look right.

Alexander McQueen bags are amazing. I have two and neither of them have skulls on them. They are both very classic and stylish bags. I receive complements every time I carry them. This bag is nice but I like the regular flapper better. I guess I am not the messenger type. I am only 5′2″ so it is hard for me to carry a bag with a long strap.

I really like the color and soft looking leather on this bag! Not that crazy about the design, especially the shoulder strap. It would be much cuter as a clutch!

It is the year of McQueen. I love his work, and the collection for Target is cute, but this bag is lackluster. I want more.

See those buckles on that flap?
Lost me right there.

I love everything about this bag, the color (yay grey!), the relaxed shape, and the pretty leather!

Aesthetically, a lovely bag. The leather looks great too– but $2k? I couldn’t justify it.

I really love the color, but it almost reminds me of the Lucky Stash bag, which was several hundred cheaper (but alas, not a messenger).

Oooo! I love these bags! They’re so perfect for work and school use. This one is beautiful though, looks very smooth, soft and smooshy. If the price wasn’t out of this world I’d take it already. lol! It’s beautiful though. Looks to be a comfortable looking bag to wear too. I love it.

I’ve been wanting a messenger bag. Its nice, but not great for me. I like how it looks sooooo smooth like marble, but I dont like the shape.

I think McQueen’s brilliance really shines through best in runway shows – the skulls and whatnot in his accessories can, at times, read cheap, but there are few shows I’d rather watch than his. The clothes are beautiful – sculptural, innovative, a bit subversive. I don’t think the full McQueen aesthetic comes through in the accessories.

Gorgeous bag, gorgeous style, gorgeous color, but I do think the style of Mr. McQueen is overpriced hottopic to be honest. I love the style but it’s over the top price wise with the skulls and everything, I’ve seen it done cheaper and better. I really appreciate his taste for it, and kudos to anyone to get people to pay that amount of money.

It is still cute.

A good messenger bag is always in a slouchy, body contouring material, with the ability to hang at least even with your hip bone, preferably lower. If you’re a big-city, metro-riding girl you will probably not be able to do without a messenger bag just for the security issue. I think they are most practical in the cold months when gloved hands are in coat pockets or holding a childs hand in the city. Megs has a beautiful DVF messenger and it looks very hip on her!

I love the grey color and the overall soft shape of the messenger. I do like the option of having longer straps on some bags, but have come to realize that carrying bags w/longer straps usually ends up giving me a sore shoulder.

I love the shape of it, the color… I too have a bias against the too-long strap but I might be able to come around… but not for $1800+.

I think “max $250″ like it. Love the shade of grey as well though.
