Alexander McQueen Gothic Camouflage Skull & Rose Tote
When it comes to Alexander McQueen handbags, only one thing pops into my mind — Skulls. And the new Alexander McQueen Camouflage Skull & Rose Tote has exactly that! But this particular design is different from what I have come to expect from the late designer’s work.
When most people think of Alexander McQueen, they do not envision a canvas handbag. Is it so strange though? I actually find it rather refreshing to see a handbag from this designer that is made of something other than leather. And he is, after all, famous for his pretty scarves. So why not put a scarf-like print on a handbag?
I definitely think it is doable, especially if the print isn’t over-the-top. This one is actually quite muted and subdued, despite the fact that it is a print depicting skulls and roses. My only gripe is that the color palette is a little too fall-ish. I’m sorry ladies, but I am ready for S-P-R-I-N-G!
So browns and burgundies are the furthest thing from my mind right now! But it is still a pretty bag nonetheless. So if you’re dying to get your hands on a piece of Alexander McQueen right now, then I would definitely check out this very unique design!
The Alexander McQueen Camouflage Skull & Rose Tote measures 16″x 14″ x 7″ and it retails for $930. Find it at Saks Fifth Avenue!

I’ve never seen this McQueen purse. Is it new for Spring? It looks like a Fall collection bag to me. Just the colors. I’m into bright shades for spring and summer. Do any of you know if this comes in other colors?
I was at an event a couple weeks ago and there was a lady who had this bag. I tried to take a sneak pic, but there was just too many people flocking around her.
I think this bag is going to be a hit this season. I wouldn’t be surprised if it sells out!
The skull and rose detailing is so goth. Not my style, but I have great appreciation for this designer. He was one in a million.
After seeing this bag it makes me sad. I wonder who will take over the designer label. I heard that they are CONSIDERING Lady GaGa!!!!! That would make me cry. Also Gwen Stefani.
Love this!
I ordered this tote and the matching shawl scarf!!! I’m pretty sure I’m going to return the scarf, but I just instantly fell in love with the print.
I LOVE MCQUEEN!
Does Alexander McQueen ever have sample sales?
I love Alexander McQueen handbags, but I’m sorry, this one is really not my cut of tea. I need to see this in person to get my full opinion. I saw over in The Bag Forum someone mentioned this print is available in a scarf?
