Novak by McQueen

Novak from T.

Thanks for the pic!

I looked at the NYT site and noticed, unlike the other items & bags, they didn't put the price of the bag! aaargh....putting the price would have helped us determine if the leather part is croc or regular leather.

Now that we know the croc/canvas is coming in the medium/larger size, I'm gonna ask the boutique AGAIN what the full range is. I think I'm starting to drive them nuts with my daily update calls.

klow, there are a lot of light, sheer chiffon tops with victorian details out now that you could wear with a light cami underneath, paired with jeans for a transitional look for spring. if it's still cold, you could always throw a neutral colored blazer on.... or even just jeans and a white or cream safari style blouse.

Thanks meow for the idea. Yay I could see myself pull it off with those recommended styles.

What about a place where it's hot and sunny all year round - what could I wear with casual clothes - would it go with jeans and sandals ?

 

[meowmix]

for the red, i could see it paired with a simple white crewneck tee, rolled up jeans, simple flats and white sunglasses...
for the brown, it depends on your style... but the easiest way to keep it casual is to start off with a simple "canvas" of a good tee and jeans and pair it with fun earth toned sandals and maybe a funky necklace.

thanks meowmix - sounds great. are you also thinking of getting the bag ?

 

[meowmix]

you're welcome.. and yes i am! although i want to hold off on any decisions until i see pictures of the green leather one...

Whew, finally, here are the shots from wwd

Also, my preorder for the red was confirmed by NAP just in time this morning!

Much better WWD Accessories cover this time ... and that green croc looks great I must say, though, spending car kinda money on a bag gives me a great deal of pause ...I love love love croc, but I just don't know whether I'll ever be able to justify it ...

 

[la_mie]

I completely understand about the car price tag... but hell it's less than that croc kelly I've been dreaming about owning someday

I think someday I'd like to own the croc, and since all signs point to mcqueen making this a signature bag that will reappear for many seasons down the road, for now I'll just sit back and wait for a black or rougue hermes-ish color to come out B) After all, a great croc bag will always be in style.

Thats a great scan of the WWD cover. The Novak looks so elegant and ladylike in croc.

 

[pasfoti]

Why does it have to be so gorgeous?!

 

[PrincessImp.]

Ah, still in two minds over this bag. What I like about this bag is it's structured shape but I am suppose to be on a bag budget now.

But I must admit, the dark brown does look dreamy, like chocolate...

Thanks for the AWESOME photos La Mie.

You've made my life more difficult though ....I had already decided not to get the croc Novak (just the leather version, but I want it in a bold color) and wait for my croc Kelly, but seeing those pictures has rewhet my appetite.

 

[meowmix]

oh the croc looks GORGEOUS in that picture la mie posted... thanks! *drool*

 

[la_mie]

Glad everyone likes them, I figured I'd share the wealth since I got the issue for free from a nice SA at neiman

Plus scanning allowed me to look at the details more closely than in the actual magazine

 

[pasfoti]

Chocolate is sold out on NAP, for now. Kinda regret didn't get on the list earlier. It's so beautiful! Red is stunning as well, but might be too much for me.

Say hello to the proud new owner of one sexy red bag~

Seiously though, thank you sooo so much to those that posted about preordering on NAP, without your awesome know-how, I probably would have missed my chance to get it! As soon as I finish posting, there will be some overdue karma distributed

La Mie - I'm so thrilled for you ! Please tell us what you think when you see it IRL. I am still undecided if it's really my style but I'm sure it'll be fabulous on you !

You just write to [email protected] seems like a new thing they are doing where you can pre-reserve a bag and you have 48 hours to decide if you want it, after which they will release it.
