We first featured the Novak by Alexander McQueen last September when it made its debut and labeled it the next cult classic. It has gotten a lot of press but we feel this bag will really hit the big times with variations like this leather crochet in white. Brilliant! If you love white, this is a great bag to get because white really shows off the amazing detail, I can't do this with yarn much less leather! We are betting Fall will bring us other creative versions of this unique constructed bag. It's about time for the backlash of the slouchy hobo bag (which we love but fashion is all about rebelling against itself to stay alive). We like the size of this bag, it's not the monster that is so in right now - we are rebelling that trend by only wearing wristlets and clutches this season. But then we will be back on big bags later, just not the body swallowing ones. At Net-A-Porter for $1915.
ABsolutely Fabulous!
Its a nice bag but not one of the best
Ooh, I love it.
I have this bag in a tan and I ADORE IT! It always gets a comment when I wear it.
This is pretty cool. I always return to this site and I always laugh out loud. Some people think im crazy but i love this blog. Its informative and recent and The Bag snob has impeccable taste in selecting handbags...jeje
i always follow your choices. And yes that Mcqueen bag is so HOT.
Dear Bag Snob,
I would like to say that you are affecting my taste for the better and my bank account for the worse. I almost convinced myself that rent money would be better spent on a Chloe bag from the Neiman Marcus sale. I was pulled from the precipice of living on the street with my gorgeous bag just in time. I have started a special savings account for the next sale.
Thanks!
I didn't really care for this bag until I saw the small version in white and ordered it. I agree with you, white really enhances the features of this bag.
That's knit (reverse stockinette to be exact), not crochet, but either way it does add a lot of visual interest.
Not that anyone cares, but I think that's garter stitch, not reverse stockinette. It is definitely knit, not crocheted as k said.
