Novak by McQueen

[pucci_mama]

I did not like this bag at first, but then I went on the Alexander Mcqueen website, and saw this beauty!

I am in love, it's the perfect black bag, and the python is such a gorgeous detail.

Now, does anyone have any info on this bag? Price? Availability?

I would be so grateful.

Hey Pucci Mama, I'm not too sure about the price of this particular bag, but the regular leather ones-the small ones that is- are about 750-800 euros. The woven leather ones are 860, and the crocodile ones are 7500 euros. Ostrich is 5000, so I guess this one will be around 2000 euros.

pucci - indeed that is a perfect black bag.

pucci - i drooled over that bag too when i saw it a few days ago on the website. it is a very beautiful bag!

i did see the novak IRL for the first time a few days ago - these are very beautiful but i think are too structured for my own personal taste. i am glad i did not jump on buying one from LVR last week.

 

[pucci_mama]

Yeah, I want a structured bag.. still dabating on splashing out on the Novak python, I want something quite classic, but at the same time edgy.

Thanks for the info, GGA.

Did anyone from tfs get it in the end?

I know Taitai talked like crazy about the Novak croc. in the beginning, did she end up getting one?

pucci, I bought the brown novak but sold it since I don't wear brown. I was on the list for an ostrich novak in tan...but I chickened out...it was SO beautiful. a python one would be amazing! python looks a bit edgy and paired with the novak shape. wow

 

[ilovepositano]

the novak is fun to look at, but maybe not fun to buy? (well i mean no one has bought it really.)

 

[guccigal07]

oh no its fun and beautiful. I loved loved loved my brown one....but I just don't carry it....so I sold it. It pained me...I will be getting a black one in the fall for sure

 

[pucci_mama]

Aww, guccigal, you don't happen to have a picture of you wearing the Novak, do you?

I would be so grateful, if anyone with the Novak could post a picture of it being carried by a person.

I want to see the big one being carried, Ive only seen the small one, very chic' but not big enough for a girl that likes too have a couple of shoes in her bag at all times.

Is the hardware brass/tarnished gold? I would like that..

 

[guccigal07]

hey pucci...actually YES I do! go to the louboutin thread....oh heck let me look for it.

here is is. sooooooooo beautiful.

 

[pucci_mama]

the novak is fun to look at, but maybe not fun to buy? (well i mean no one has bought it really.)

Yeah I know.. and it was all this talk about it in the beginning..

I'm kinda glad though, that's why I like it now.. I'm a bit sick of 'It bags'...

I want something that will last.

A black sturdy bag for Fall.

 

[pucci_mama]

Guccigal: Wow! I love that, so inc. chic!

Please do tell me why you decided against it? The size? Is it heavy to carry? Impractical?

Please share. Oh! And Karma!

 

[guccigal07]

oh I only sold it bc it was brown. I wear black, its my thing...for going out, etc...so I just sold it because it sat there. I want a black SO BAd.

FYI McQueen new york has the black and snakeskin its 2300 or something....so tempting but I think I want an all black.

Luisaviaroma has a black one right now that I keep looking at. If I buy it...they will take the VAT off right since I am in the USA.

I just hate ordering from online since I want to see the bag and make sure there is no scratches on it.

pucci - i drooled over that bag too when i saw it a few days ago on the website. it is a very beautiful bag!

Ditto!

BUt somehow I just don't think I could pull of a novak

(cuz I could totally afford one)

 

[pucci_mama]

I know what you mean, my problem is that an all black leather one would be a bit boring for me... I think..

The snake skin just gives it a bit of that ommmph factor!

You have seen the snakeskin irl? How was it? In the picture it looks stunning.

I must get down to the A.M boutique in London asap.

You look so good with the Novak, but i am tiny, what are the measurents? How tall are you? if you don't mind me asking...

Venus_as_a_boy: Why don't you think you could pull it off?

 

[guccigal07]

pucci, can you call mcqueen in london for me and see if they have an all black one.

never saw the lizard. I would get it if it were like 1800USD instead of 2300...that is just over my mark right now.

I am about 5 foot 8 inches. Its a great bag. I love it. The style and shape give it the ommph!

 

[pucci_mama]

You are interested in the regular size, yes? I saw the small sized white and black and brown and Selfridges. The white was actually very cute..

I'll give them a call and let you know.. later this week.

Lizard? You mean the python? That's the one I' after it says on the website that it's python, I would imagine lizard to be way more expensive.

If i buy it, it will have to be towards fall, Im to busy with my summer purchases at the moment! If I can resist for that long.

 

[guccigal07]

pucci...I think she said snake actually and its the one you posted that is beautiful. black with snake trim on it.

hey pucci...actually YES I do! go to the louboutin thread....oh heck let me look for it.

here is is. sooooooooo beautiful.

i love your outfit there.....alaïa top, prada skirt?

your novak was so gorgeous... i can't believe you sold it!
you should've kept it... the brown is a nice contrast with an all black wardrobe... i'm getting the chocolate muse cos of that... i wear too much black and i think i look silly with a black bag...

 

[brian]

pucci_mama, that black calf/python novak is perfection!! i'd go for that one if i were you!
