Here’s a sneak peek at what’s coming up from the Cruise 2011 Womens Alexander McQueen collection, and as always, the clutches are to-die-for. Topped off with gold-tone clasps in various forms, each clutch comes swathed in a different material, be it exotic skins like stingray or watersnake, or familiar favourites like satin.
Besides McQueen’s eponymous skull adorned with what looks like an orchid, other clasps used for Cruise 2011 are a little more interesting, including one that looks like coral fans, and another with another orchid. Measuring around 16 cm across and averaging around SGD1800 each (based on estimates from Net-A-Porter), this is one of the things I would definitely consider an investment buy.
Something else that I’m keen to check out are these enamel bracelets and rings, which while have been done to death since Hermès launched them way back when, these are certainly way cooler. Soft pastels on gold-tone hardware with skulls, what’s not to love?
Or check out these monochromatic pieces, which are equally stunning.
No word on the pricing for these pieces as yet, but they will be available at Club21 Women come January 2011. Time to start saving!

I actually got the white on black bracelet a couple of months ago for a friend. They carry some of the designs at On Pedder over at Takashimaya.
Would a mix color for bracelet n ring better or same color for both nicer? Black white combi sure goes but not sure on the pastel. Any opinion?
Do check out Alexander McQueen’s online site now! They have just launched their selection of sale goods. Accessories include the Union Jack clutches, bracelets, rings, scarves and many more! All to die for!
Thanks for dropping by Shaun, but the US site (which is currently having the sale) does not ship internationally.
You can actually call up the overseas flagships and ask about sale items, cos sometimes the flagships and the online store have sale at the same time for the exact same item. The overseas flagships ship internationally btw, BUT they only do orders over the telephone.
Absolutely love the last clutch as well as all the rings and bracelets! Now I’m getting even more confused as to what to buy.
Well, if I were you, I’ll go for the clutch first.
I just purchases a crystal skull heart ring… But after seeing this, keen on getting this enamel version as well! McQueen is uber stylo! (FB)
love the bracelets!
really love the enamel bracelets and rings, a great alternative to the one from Hermes! Will they be more affordable? Thanks for sharing, BB!
Do keep us updated on the prices for the bracelet and ring if you know! Thanks in advance!
