Okay, so I’ve been eyeing this Alexander McQueen Story Bag for a while now. I finally decided to go for it and see what all the fuss is about. I’ve heard people raving about it, and yeah, the price tag is a bit hefty, but I was like, “Treat yourself, girl!”
First off, I started by doing some digging online. I found out that this bag comes in a bunch of colors, but I went for the classic black leather. Classic never goes out of style, you know? It’s made of this super soft leather, and I gotta say, it feels pretty darn luxurious. When I got it in my hands, man, the leather was so smooth.
Then I did some research about how to wear it. Turns out, you can wear this thing in like three different ways. You can carry it by that metal handle on the front, which gives it a cool, edgy vibe. Or you can use the longer strap and wear it on your shoulder or across your body. I tried carrying it each way in front of the mirror. I think I like the shoulder carry best, but that front handle thing is pretty chic too. Options, people, options!
I also noticed that some famous people have been spotted with this bag. If it’s good enough for them, it’s good enough for me, right? That kind of sealed the deal for me.
Next, I started looking at where to actually buy it. I checked out a few different stores online, just to compare prices and see if anyone had any deals going on. No such luck, but I did find it on the official Alexander McQueen website, so I figured that was the safest bet to get a real one.
Authenticity Check
Now, because I’m dropping some serious cash on this bag, I wanted to make sure I wasn’t getting ripped off with a fake. I learned that real McQueen bags have really nice stitching. Like, super neat and even, with no loose threads hanging around. Fakes, on the other hand, can be kinda sloppy. When I got mine, I looked it over like a hawk. Stitching? Perfect. So far, so good.
I also knew that one of McQueen’s signature things is that skull design. I mean, it’s everywhere in his stuff. This bag doesn’t have a skull on it, it’s more subtle, but that’s okay. The quality speaks for itself. The leather was so fine. It looks great, and I can carry all my everyday stuff no problem.
So, after all that, I finally got my hands on the real deal. Let me tell you, it was worth it. This bag is gorgeous, and it feels amazing to carry. It definitely elevates any outfit. It looks good with jeans, but I think it would work with a dress too. It’s a statement piece, for sure. I’m pretty sure this thing is going to last me a long time, so in the end, I think it was a good investment. I don’t regret it one bit! I take it everywhere now!

Honestly, I’m obsessed. This bag is the real deal. If you’re thinking about it, just do it. You won’t regret it!
