Mirrored vinyl may sound like something frighteningly tacky, but bags speak louder than words. McQ Alexander McQueen, a brand you can always count on for a lighthearted take on gritty edge, has produced sleek and shiny decadence that is anything but vulgar, and now I’m saying, “Let it shine.” Sometimes high-octane gleam looks too much like tinsel (and nobody wants to look like cheesy Christmas décor), but these pieces read like luscious liquid gold and promise you amp up your energy quotient.
Personally, I’m up for the powerful punch packed by the Kingsland shopper ($795), but if this tote is making you reach for your shades, the button-studded wallet
($285) has the same solid-gold impact for less in-your-face glare. Available on Shopbop.
