Alexander McQueen Metal Empire Swarovski crystal Purse
What I love about Alexander McQueen is all of his designs are so different and unique. This new style is called Empire bag.. a rock solid metal body with Swarovski crystal detailing.
What do you guys think of this rounded egg-like style?

That is pretty wild! It reminds me of something a Disney Villain would carry.
