Or, you know, you can use most of these bags to whack a mugger in the head. But doesn’t the former somehow seem more likely than the latter lately?

If there’s one thing that Alexander Wang’s bags are known for, it’s the sheet of solid, heavy studs that graces the bottoms of many of them.

I just came back from Europe, and the Zurich airport took my McQueen knuckle duster from my checked-in baggage, leaving a note in my luggage that says it’s a suspected weapon because it has brass knuckles

Same. The customs got mine. Thank god they gave it back after a really long explanation.

Cute article. On a different note, it never ceases to amaze me that every time I go to a grocery store, I see women leaving their purses in their shopping carts unattended. That’s inviting trouble.

Even though I participate in pistol competitions, I don’t pack. Most of my competitors do, though.

Love the Alexander McQueen! Such a unique, utterly bad-ass design. And that color is so bold as well.

I LOVE this post soo much! Lapped up every single word and detail! Funny, but at the same time…if you think about, these bags could actually be very useful in an attack. Granted, if you don’t mind slamming your gorgeous, expensive designer bag against someone’s face. Love the last suggestion. XD
