The Peak Bag
With a design that is both sophisticated and edgy, The Peak Bag by Alexander McQueen is a must-have. For the design, the house took inspiration from the sharp and structured shoulders of its tailored silhouettes. The bag features a curved magnetic frame, juxtaposed with a relaxed, soft body. The knuckle-inspired opening and antique silver-finished chain strap allow for the bag to be worn either by hand or over the shoulder. The Peak Bag is handcrafted from leather and has a contrasting suede lining. The bag is available in two sizes and comes in three colors: black, ivory, and bright red.

The Shard Shoes
Straight off the London Spring/Summer 2023 runway, Alexander McQueen’s Shard shoes feature a transparent wedge heel that gives the illusion of floating. Available as a double-strap sandal and an ankle boot, the Shard shoe instantly elevates any look. The square-toed Shard Sandals are available in black and bright blue leather. The Shard Boots are crafted in compact viscose knit, all-over sequin, and Hieronymus Bosch inspired embroidery.
