I don’t want to count my chickens before they’ve hatched, but I may have just found my dream purse for fall. Behold the Alexander McQueen Elvie Patent Crocodile Bag, which gives the famous Elvie patent leather a crocodile-effect-stamped twist. The croc effect gives the purse a rich, sophisticated texture that’s a pretty big departure from the original’s sexy-slick vibe (although the intense pleating and oversized gold hardware toggle are consistent). For autumn I’d add some dark skinny jeans, dark brown leather riding boots, and a chunky taupe wool turtleneck…mmm mmm. Available for $2,435 at Net-a-Porter.com.
