Alexander McQueen is an endless font of Skull Clutch ideas

Alexander McQueen Woven Cord Box Clutch, $2075 via Neiman Marcus

There are a lot of reasons that I’m a person who writes about handbags instead of a person who designs them, but one of the big ones is that when I think about a bag like the Alexander McQueen Skull Clutch, I have no idea how I’d move forward with it. Skull clutches have been done in basically every color, finish, embellishment and theme of which I can conceive, and it seems like we should have hit some sort of back corner of creativity by now.

And yet, we haven’t. The team at McQueen continues to churn out both amazing clothes and beautiful accessories at a rate that would surely satisfy the man himself, were he around to supervise. Spring 2012 brings with it an impressive array of box clutches from the brand, and we have a few of our favorites for your perusal after the jump.

The black one is breathtakingly beautiful. The pearl encrusted – the pearls look like bones. Somewhat morbid, but still stunning. They never run out of ideas. Great find, Amanda.

I love the one with the snake on top, it’s so clever! That’s why McQueen will stay in business for decades to come, even without Alexander himself. They are not just the designer in front of the house, they are a brilliant team too.

Beautiful. I have a special fondness for the Britannia in all of its iterations but the others are lovely too. Probably less so the pearls, it reminds me of purses my mom had in the ’80s, but other than that no skull clutch I don’t like.

Oh, I’m so in love with the black one with the woven leather. It’s amazing! I wish it was just a little cheaper.

That satin knuckle clutch with the skull in the snake’s mouth is genius.  I believe that one’s my favorite.

In love with the Crystal Brittania clutch. If only I had $2500 to burn!

Initially there were some AM bags I liked.  It’s gotten to the point where SO MANY bags are put together with a skull closure slapped on them that i now suffer from AM bag fatigue.  Come on, the first 50 or so were unique, different, avant garde, stylish, edgy…blah blah… Now we see the ol’ skull slapped on whatever.  Give it up already!  For the money, I’d go Bottega.  Similar in design, gorgeous, has history.  AM?  Puh-LEEZ!  Is this brand desperate to slap its skull on everything before   the flame extinguishes?  Some AM are wonderful, but chalk me off as one of the fans.

love every single one
