Novak by McQueen

[vintage_princess]

The knit Novak bag looks awful in my opinion. The thing I liked about the Novak is that luxurious ladylike sophistication look to it.

 

[cinderbellas]

I agree. I don't care for the knit Novak either.

I knew he had knit bags in the collection, but didn't realize there was a knit Novak ... do you have a pic? I keep reading about chainmail, I guess that's next season

^ Check out net-a-porter and its under the top 10 bags.

In case anyone's interested, there's a Novak for sale now on ebay. Looks real, and tempting...

Don't see it ...

at the NAP home page click on "magazines" in the left hand column, then "top tens" then "bags" and you will see the spread with the novak (which you can click on to buy if they're available)

ugh I have to admit the knit novak is horrible

I do want that other knit bag from the fall collection though, the cream one with the flowers... I don't think that one has a name though, wonder if they have it at the boutique or if it's been bought up quickly as well.

Yeah the one with flowers is cute but I don't know that I'd pay hundreds for a knit bag

Thanks for the directions, LilyGirl

So I see what you mean ... it's awwwful Knit wit is right. Who thought that'd be a good idea??? Is this what the chainmail is gonna look like?

Yes, I remember liking the cream one w/ flowers too ...

The knit really doesn't do anything for the Novak.
It's meant to be and looks the best as, a structured bag.

I don't know, it seems the novak is one of those bags that look good sitting there, like some type of sculpture.

I admit I'm attracted to this bag.. especially the red, but I cannot begin to fathom what I would wear it with. The hitchcock look is great, but with the bag and those clothes I fear ending up looking F-R-U-M-P-Y

also, you know this bag isn't going to last. Too stylized. I think if I bought this bag, soon after christmas, it would be sitting in its duster along with my other abandoned bags in the "orphan closet"

 

[Tinuviel]

Is that the small Novak?? Btw, the bag on the right seems very nice.

oh. my. word.

I wasn't feeling the elongated version but this size is absolutely PERFECT! How much is this does anyone know? I wants this in green, black, brown and red! Gidigitygidigity!

Tinuviel, the small leather ones are about US$1,100. The bigger sizes are about US$1,250 (estimates converted from euro).

Agree with this.It's a beautiful bag,I especially like it in red,but it looks really hard work to carry and it wouldn't work with most of my clothes.

 

[Taitai]

For winter, they are bringing in limited edition Novak bags in combination fur (body) and crocodile (handles). This will cost (converted from Euros) about US$7,500. Can't imagine how it would look in fur since the bag is so rigid and structured.

 

[la_mie]

I dunno about fur...

I'm really hoping for some great colors to be popping up on the runway shortly... pastel maybe?

A Novak clutch

 

[Taitai]

^^^ Thanks for sharing Vintage! Now I see how a combination soft material and croc (I think the handles are croc) Novak would look like! I like the black clutch

 

[cinderbellas]

Thanks vintage.

Taitai, I love the clutch!

I read in Vitals today that there is a yellow tweed Novak. Interesting. Has anyone seen a tweed Novak?
