McQueen Evening Clutch: Must-Have Designer Handbag 2025 

“…In celebration of the brand’s unwavering commitment to creativity and craftsmanship, Alexander McQueen introduces the Evening Clutch Capsule Collection 2025, a highly exclusive line of limited-edition designer clutches available only at select boutiques worldwide and via alexandermcqueen.com…”

The highlight of this collection lies in reimagining the iconic Knuckle Clutch, first launched in 2009 by the legendary Lee Alexander McQueen. Now a true signature of the House, the Knuckle Clutch is distinguished by its sculptural form, merging the elegance of couture craftsmanship with the rebellious edge of brass knuckle-inspired hardware and contemporary luxury.

Since its first runway appearance, the Knuckle Clutch has seen countless reinterpretations in shape, material, and intricate detailing, each design echoing the unmistakable spirit of McQueen. For 2025, the House presents six new versions, merging archival inspiration with cutting-edge embellishment techniques, each handcrafted by artisans in the McQueen atelier.

Rose and Snake Knuckle Clutch

Debuted in the Spring/Summer 2018 collection, this design draws from the enigmatic beauty of British gardens. The sculpted metal clasp entwines a serpent around the stem of a rose, with a delicate skull hidden among the details. The clutch itself is rendered in black leather with three-dimensional floral embroidery, adorned with crystals and beadwork in varied sizes, embodying McQueen’s raw yet powerful aesthetic.

Rose Knuckle Clutch

A tribute to The English Rose, a recurring motif in McQueen jewellery, this clutch first appeared in the Autumn/Winter 2015 collection. The iconic knuckle clasp is adorned with intricately cast metal roses, using traditional jewellery-making techniques. Polished to a mirror shine, the metallic blooms contrast beautifully with the jet-black crystals set against luxurious black satin.

Spider Jewelled Knuckle Clutch

The Spider Knuckle Clutch, first introduced in Autumn/Winter 2019, reinterprets the spider as a symbol ofdark beauty. Its knuckle clasp features four individual rings, each adorned with uniquely cut stones. One ring showcases a meticulously detailed spider, evoking mystery, nature, and the gothic elegance synonymous with McQueen.

Each clutch in the capsule is a collectible piece of wearable art

Though dreamlike in appearance and refined like fine jewellery, the Evening Clutch Capsule Collection 2025 remains true to the House’s legacy of structural integrity and purposeful design. These clutches are not merely accessories, they are moving sculptures, expressions of identity, and embodiments of the artistry and individuality that lie at the core of McQueen.

If you are a collector, a fashion connoisseur, or someone who appreciates unapologetically bold craftsmanship, this limited-edition 2025 designer handbag collection is an unmissable investment in timeless elegance, strength, and spirit.
